1.1 Product overview
Based on multi-phase synchronous rectification technology and advanced MPPT control algorithm,
the MD Series MPPT DC charge controller for solar energy and generator adopts fully digital and
intelligent design. Thus, it achieves advantages such as great response speed and reliability and
reaches high industrialization standards. The multi-phase synchronous rectification technology ensures
super conversion efficiency at any charging power, significantly improving the energy utilization of the
system. The PowerCatcher maximum power point tracking technology leads the industry and achieves
the maximum energy tracking of solar panels. That makes it possible for the panel to rapidly and
precisely track the maximum power point of solar battery in any condition and obtain the maximum
energy of solar panels in real-time.
The product belongs to the DC/DC intelligent charger that applies to vehicle or ship systems. It is
applied to a dual battery system integrating the respective advantages of generator and photovoltaic
power generation. In this case, the system adopts the combination of charging methods with ingenious
design, which effectively ensures enough power at any time. The backup battery could be charged by
either or both of the solar energy and generator.
1.4 Introduction of maximum power point tracking
The MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) system is an advanced charging technology, which
achieves more energy output from the solar batteries by adjusting the operating state of the electrical
modules. Due to the nonlinearity of the solar battery array, there is a maximum energy output point
(maximum power point) on its curve. The traditional controller (switching charging technology and
PWM charging technology) cannot charge the battery continuously at the point, so it cannot obtain the
maximum energy of the solar panel. Instead, the solar controller with MPPT can always track the
maximum power point of the array, so as to charge the battery with the maximum energy. For
example, for the 12V solar system, since the peak-to-peak voltage (Vpp) of the solar battery is about
17V, while the battery voltage is about 12V, therefore, when the charge controller is charging the
battery, the voltage of the solar battery is generally about 12V, that is, the solar battery does not fully
exert its maximum power. The MPPT controller can overcome the problem. It could adjust the input
voltage and current of the solar panel in real-time to reach the maximum input power. Compared with
the traditional PWM controller, the MPPT controller can exert the maximum power of the solar battery,
so it can provide a larger charging current. Generally, the MPPT controller can improve the energy
utilization rate by 15%~20% more than the PWM controller.
Applied with the PowerCatcher maximum power point tracking technology, the controller could still
track the maximum power point of the solar battery in complex conditions. Compared with traditional
MPPT technology, it has better response speed and tracking efficiency, and its efficiency could reach
up to 99.9%.
Applied with the design of multi-phase synchronous rectification for step-up/down circuitry, the
controller owns great DC/DC conversion efficiency whether in high/low power, which could reach up to
98%.
Various types of backup batteries are supported such as sealed, gel, flooded, lithium, and custom.
Various types of generators are supported such as intelligent and traditional generators, and the
controller could automatically identify the generator types by the ignition signal.
Applied with various charging modes such as photovoltaic charging the backup battery individually,
generator charging the backup battery individually, and photovoltaic and generator charging the backup
battery at the same time.
Applied with cable drop compensation for charging voltage of the backup battery, so that the controller
controls the charging voltage in a more accurate way.
Applied with temperature sampling for the backup battery, and temperature compensation for the
lead-acid battery, effectively extending the service life of batteries.
Applied with automatic derating while charging in high temperature.
Applied with TTL communication, providing technical support of communication protocol to facilitate
applications for secondary development.
The parameters could be monitored and set via mobile APP and PC monitoring and setting
applications.
Applied with potting of smidahk, the controller has IP65 grade of protection, which ensures reliable
and efficient operation in various working conditions.
Applied with high-quality aluminum radiator and high-temperature derating technology, which ensures
reliable and efficient operation in various working conditions.

1.5 Introduction of charging stage
Fast charging (BULK)
During the fast charging stage, when the battery voltage has not yet reached the setting
value (i.e. equalizing/boost voltage) of full voltage, the controller will perform MPPT to charge the
battery with the maximum solar power. When the battery voltage reaches the default value,
constant-voltage charging will be applied.

Due to the different ambient temperature and lighting conditions, the maximum power point
often changes. And our MPPT controller could adjust the parameters in real-time under different
conditions, thus making the system status always near the maximum operating point. The whole
process is completely automatic without any adjustment.

The controller charges the backup battery for lead-acid type in three stages. A complete
charging process consists of: fast charging (BULK), sustaining charging (EQUALIZE/BOOST),
and floating charging (FLOAT). The charging curve is as down below:
Sustaining charging (EQUALIZE/BOOST)
When the battery voltage reaches the setting value of the sustaining voltage, the controller
will perform constant-voltage charging. In this process, the MPPT charging will not work,
meanwhile, the charging current gradually decreases over time. The sustaining charging
consists of equalizing charging and boost charging, which are not repeated during one complete
charging process. And the equalizing charging is performed once a month (30 days) (default).

Equalizing charging (EQUALIZE)
Regular equalizing charging is applied in certain types of batteries, which could stir up the
electrolyte and balance the battery voltage to complete the chemical reaction. During the
equalizing charging stage, the charging voltage is increased beyond the standard complement
voltage, which could gasify the electrolyte. This stage will last for 120 minutes (default). Equalizing
charging and boost charging are not repeated during a single full charging process to avoid
excessive gas evolution or overheating of the battery.

1.5.2 Charging for lithium battery
The controller charges the backup battery of lithium type in two stages. The first one is the fast
charging (BULK) stage, which maximizes the utilization of solar energy and generator energy
with the limited maximum charging current, and rapidly increases the battery voltage to the setting value
of charging. Then, it switches to the second stage, constant-voltage charging, until the battery is fully
charged. And, the charging current gradually drops during this stage.

Boost charging (BOOST)
Generally, the default duration of the boost charging stage is 2h, while customers could also adjust
the duration and the default value of boost voltage point according to actual needs. When the duration
reaches the setting value, the system will be switched to floating charging.
Floating charging (FLOAT)
This stage could maintain the battery voltage near the floating charging voltage. In this stage, the
battery is charged with a very weak current to maintain the battery in a fully-charged state.
During the stages of equalizing charging, boost charging, and float charging, when the battery
voltage drops to “boost recovery voltage”, the system will exit the current stage and re-enter the BULK
fast charging stage. Then, the battery voltage slowly increases and the current drops as the charging
goes, the system will enter the constant-voltage stage again.

2.10 Voltage compensation interface of backup battery
With large charging power and small wire diameter, the collected voltage by the controller is higher than
the battery voltage, causing the battery to be undercharged. The battery voltage sampling wire can collect
the battery voltage more accurately, so as to compensate the output voltage difference in time to get a more
reasonable charging voltage. Connect the battery positive and negative electrodes to the corresponding
position of the battery voltage sampling terminals ④ by the voltage compensation wire. The positive
electrode is on the left and the negative electrode is on the right.

When installing the battery, it is forbidden to reverse the battery connection, which may cause
irreversible damage.
Once in contact with the battery acid, please rinse with water immediately.
Stay away from metal objects to prevent battery short-circuit.
The battery may produce acid gas when charging. Ensure the ambient environment is well ventilated.
The battery may produce combustible gas. Stay away from sparks.
When installing outdoors, avoid direct sunlight and rain seeping.

Warning: Danger of electric shock! We strongly recommend that fuses or circuit breakers
should be connected to the PV array, loading and battery terminals to prevent the risk of
electric shock during wiring or misoperation, and make sure that the fuse or circuit breaker is
disconnected before wiring.
Warning: Danger of high voltage! The PV array may generate high open-circuit voltage.
Disconnect the circuit breaker or fuse before wiring, and be careful during wiring.
Warning: Danger of explosion! Once the positive and negative battery terminals and the
connected wires are short-circuited, it will cause fire or explosion. Please be careful when
operating.
Connect the battery first, then the solar panel and finally the load. Please connect the positive
electrode first when wiring.
When all power lines are connected firmly and reliably, check again whether the wiring is
correct and make sure that the positive and negative electrodes are not reversed. After
confirming, connect the battery fuse or circuit breaker first, then observe whether the LED
indicator lights up. If not, please immediately cut off the fuse or circuit breaker and check
whether the wire is well-connected.
After the battery is normally energized and then connected to the solar panel, the charging
indicator of the controller will always light or blink and start charging the battery if there is
enough sunlight.
