Specifications & Operating Parameters
Voltages: 48V
Amp Hour Capacities: 150Ah
Temperature Range Operational: 32 - 113 Degrees F
Manufacturer Operating Parameters by Charging Profile:
| Parameter | 10 Year Extended Life Warranty | 7.5 Year Extended Charge Rate Warranty |
|---|---|---|
| Low Voltage Cut-Off | 60 Amps | 48.2 Volts |
| High Voltage Cut-Off | 50 Amps | 57.0 Volts |
| Discharge Rate | 150 Amps | 120 Amps |
| Charge Rate | 6000 Cycles (80% DoD) | 4000 Cycles (80% DoD) |
Critical Settings:
- Bulk or Absorb Voltage: 56.0v
- Absorb Time: 2-6 Minutes*
- Float Voltage: 52.8v**
- Equalize Voltage: Auto EQ Disabled & set to Absorb Voltage***
- Equalize Time: Set to 0 minutes***
- Temperature Compensation: 0.0v per degree C per cell - Disabled
- Low Voltage Disconnect: 48.2v
- Low Voltage Reconnect: 52.0v
Note: Lithium batteries may feature internal BMS that can disconnect the battery from loads/electronics. While this may cause inconvenience, it will not damage MidNite Solar equipment.
* Absorb time varies by charge rate: 40 amps or less = 6 minutes; 40-60 amps = 4 minutes; 60-150 amps = 2 minutes (Classic MPPTs allow a minimum of 3 minutes).
** Float voltage adjustment aims for approximately 0 current in or out of the battery, allowing solar to power loads directly.
*** MidNite recommends setting EQ voltage and time to match Absorb voltage and time to prevent accidental damage or BMS disconnects during manual EQ initiation.
State of Charge
Using the WBjr with the charge controller allows for accurate SOC % display. It is recommended to set the Amp Hours per KiloVault capacity per string.
Amp Hour capacity: 150Ah per HAB
Battery Efficiency: 94.5%
