FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION (s)
1.

What is a solar charge controller?


Solar Charge Controller (or Regulator) is a device which protects the batteries in a solar electric
system from being overcharged or being over-discharged. It is need in virtually all solar power systems
that utilize batteries. With the development of technology, controller has more additional functions
now, such as load control function, LCD display, hybrid system controllers etc...

2.

Can this solar charge controller be used for Lithium batteries?


Yes, because it is a programmable solar charge controller. The charging parameters are adjustable and
also the user can check the battery characteristics and change the parameters accordingly.

3.

Why should the controller have temperature compensation function?


As temperature rises, electrochemical activity in the battery increases. Similarly, as temperature falls,
electrochemical activity decreases. Therefore, as temperature rises, charging voltage should be
reduced to prevent overcharge, as temperature falls, charging voltage should be increase to avoid
undercharge. In general, to assure optimum service life, use of a temperature compensated charger is
recommended.

4.

Whats the wiring order of the off-grid system?


Battery Load Solar Panel.
EPSOLAR controller has protection for wrong connections during installation. There wont be damage
to the controllers. However, we still suggest user to use the controllers strictly following the
instruction manuals.

5.

Is there any lightning protection for solar charge controller?


Yes. Some level lightning protection is provided in the form of transient voltage protection on both
the PV and battery connections in all Solar charge controllers. However, if you live in an area prone to
lightning, you should add additional lightning protection devices. Keep in mind that even with
additional lightning protection nothing is 100% lightning proof. Damage due lightning is not covered
under warranty.

6.

What is a flooded battery?


A Flooded battery is a lead acid electric storage battery that:
Can be both sealed and open-vented.
Can use High Antimony, Low Antimony or Calcium metal alloys or a combination of Calcium and
Low Antimony (hybrid).
True high quality flooded batteries require a high level of maintenance in cyclic applications.
Its entire electrolyte volume is free to move within the cell with nothing to prevent the escape of
hydrogen and oxygen gases normally lost during charging and discharging (particularly in deep
cycle applications).
Escaping gasses during the discharge and charge cycles can be detrimental to users, sensitive
electronic equipment and the environment due to its corrosive nature.
Is spill able, and therefore can only be operated in an upright position. This includes sealed
maintenance free versions of the flooded battery type.
Is classified as hazardous by all transportation and OSHA agencies.

7.

What is Gel Battery?


A gel battery is also known as a "gel cell" and gets its name from the gellified electrolyte employed to
reduce electrolyte evaporation and spillage which often leads to corrosion problems. Gel batteries are
known for better resistance to extreme temperatures, shock, and vibration and do not even need to
be kept upright. Chemically they are the same as wet-cell batteries except that the antimony in the
lead plates is replaced by calcium. In addition, gel battery technology is very similar to AGM batteries
but uses this gelled electrolyte to recycle the gassing instead of the Absorbent Glass Material that
AGM batteries utilize.
The gel battery is also considered a VRLA battery, or Valve Regulated Lead Acid battery, and is
designated a low-maintenance lead-acid rechargeable battery. The gel battery is also referred to as a
sealed lead-acid battery, but will always include a safety pressure relief valve. Because the gel battery
uses much less electrolyte or battery acid than traditional batteries, they are also considered an "acid
starved" design.

8.

What is Sealed Lead Acid Battery?


The leadacid battery was invented in 1859 by French physicist Gaston Plant and is the oldest type
of rechargeable battery. Despite having a very low energy-to-weight ratio and a low energy-to-volume
ratio, its ability to supply high surge currents means that the cells have a relatively large power-toweight ratio. These features, along with their low cost, make it attractive for use in motor vehicles to
provide the high current required by automobile starter motors.

9.

What are the differences between AGM, GEL and FLOODED batteries?
Even though inside all AGM, GEL and flooded batteries contain lead acid, the internal construction of
the battery divides them into their respective categories.
Absorbed Glass Matte or AGM batteries are the latest and greatest in lead-acid batteries. An
AGM battery uses a separator consisting of fiberglass between the plate and wrappers to hold the
electrolyte in its place with capillary action. Combining the lead plates, electrolyte, and fiber glass
separation fibers in a confined space, AGM batteries create a "physical bond" by way of capillary
action. Similar to how water creeps up a towel when it is put in a bathtub. This capillary action
holds the liquid inside the glass matting, making the AGM Battery "spill proof" if it is ever
exposed. Due to the tight packing of an AGM battery, it is also the most impact resistant, and
boasts the least internal resistance. The lower internal resistance increases the output voltage,
decreases charging time, and reduces losses to heat as power flows through the system. AGM
Batteries then bring the trump card to the table, they are maintenance free. Premium AGM

batteries recombine the gases produced internally, back into liquid. This recombination makes
the AGM battery maintenance free. No acid leaks, no mess while charging, no corrosion on
surrounding parts. You plug in these batteries and walk away. AGM batteries can do anything that
flooded and GEL batteries can do, just better.
Flooded or "wet cell" batteries are the most commonly used batteries on the market today.
Flooded batteries come in the widest variety of shapes and sizes due to their widespread usage in
a multitude of industries and applications. Flooded batteries again use lead plates, a Sulfuric acid
electrolyte, and plate separators but that is where it stops. Usually flooded batteries are not
sealed, and do not recombine the gases to liquids internally. Instead, these gases are vented
externally. Internal gases produced are released directly to the environment. Through these same
vents can flow acid, steam, and condensation, leading to maintenance. Flooded batteries do
require maintenance, in the form of water, to routinely replenish lost electrolyte through the
vents. Lead plates start to deteriorate when they touch the atmosphere, so if you fail to maintain
your batteries, they will corrode and fail. Flooded batteries hold very good rates of charge for the
price, but require more work. Unfortunately due to the internal construction, flooded batteries
have the weakest internal construction, and some very high internal resistance statistics.
GEL cell batteries are also sealed just like the AGM battery listed above. That is where the
similarities end. A GEL battery uses silica (sand) to turn the sulfuric acid into a jelly like substance.
This jelly is then used as the electrolyte. Great care must be taken with GEL batteries not to
expose them to high amperage situations. High amperage situations can literally 'SCAR' the jelly
inside of a GEL battery, creating a pocket. These pockets allow the plates to begin corroding,
leading to premature failure. GEL batteries should not be used for fast charging/discharging or
high amperage charging/discharging situations. Use the other types listed above for these high
amperage situations. GEL Batteries are slightly stronger in regards to internal construction than a
flooded battery, but pale in comparison to the physical strength of an AGM battery.
