Title: How does the Classic handle tempature compensation for batteries?
Post by: Halfcrazy on February 05, 2011, 05:12:14 AM
1/2 milli-Volt increments up to 10 mV.

(minus of course) 0.0  (disabled), 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5.....  .... 9.0, 9.5, 10.0 mV

milli-Volts per degree Celcius per 2 Volt battery cell temperatures.

12V battery would be 6 X  this setting.

   Example,

-5.0 mV/degC/Cell for 12V battery would be  6 X 5.0  =  -30.0 milliVolts per degree C for the whole 12V battery.

-5.0 mV/degC/Cell for 24V battery would be 12 X 5.0  =  -60.0 milliVolts per degree C for the whole 24V battery.

-5.0 mV/degC/Cell for 48V battery would be 24 X 5.0  =  -120.0 milliVolts per degree C for the whole 48V battery.
