charging algorithm with variable absorption charging timer guarantee the optimal charging for
batteries of different discharged state.
Float charging and Recycle charging program guarantee your battery could get proper
maintenance in case of long time connected.
++ Battery temperature compensation
Battery temperature is a key factor in correct charging, the charging formula must be adjusted
(automatically and in real time) according to the actual battery temperature to ensure that battery
are fully charged but not overcharged or undercharged. All charging voltages recommended by
battery manufacture are in fact ONLY applied at 20℃-25℃.
The TS (battery temperature sensor) supplied with Energier Apollo measures the temperature of
battery and automatically makes adjustments at real time to properly charge your batteries at
compensation rate of –4mv/℃/cell. In case of TS was not present, Energier Apollo will use 25℃as
default setting.
++ Voltage compensated charging

programmed as well through PC with RapConfig software.
2.4 Solar charge controller
The built-in PWM solar charger controller automatically starts up when qualified PV voltage is
presented from photovoltaic panel, charging the battery connected.
Energier Apollo can charge the battery via AC grid and PV energy at the same time.
The total charging current doesn’t exceed the max charging current you set for the battery
connected.
Charging from PV has higher priority.
2.5 Transfer
In case of voltage, frequency and waveform of AC input match the minimum quality, Energier
Apollo will be switched directly to bypass working mode. Battery charger is switched on and loads
are powered by AC input. You will have the same voltage at the output as AC input.
In case of AC input failure or exceeding the minimum requirement, Energier Apollo will initiate a
quick switching to inverter mode (about 8ms), of which will guarantee an undisturbed power for
majority of the appliance. Upon AC input resume or match the quality, it will switch back again
within 8ms. With this mode (Power Backup Mode), Energier Apollo could be used as an UPS.
Energier Apollo can also be configured working under Solar Mode, please refer to 2.10.
2.6 Multi battery chemical available

2.7 Manual Equalization
Over a period of time, the cells in the flooded and OPZS batteries can develop uneven chemical
states. This will result in a weak cell which in turn can reduce the overall capacity of battery. To
improve the life and performance of these types of battery, Energier Apollo includes a manual
equalization program that can be used if recommended by battery manufacturer, to equalize the
battery. For details, please refer to chapter 7.10.
This charging program can ONLY being applied to Flooded and OPZS batteries. As a protection, the
EQ mode will automatically disable if you select either LFP、GEL/OPzV or AGM as battery type.
2.8 Settable Low voltage disconnect level
Deep discharge of the lead acid battery leads to high losses in capacity and early aging. Energier
Apollo continuously supervised and controlled battery condition.
For different application, the user intended to have different low voltage disconnection level. For
example, for solar application, user intended to have less DOD to prolong the battery cycle life. But
for mobile application, user intended to have more DOD to reduce battery capacity and on board
weight.
Through DIP switches, Energier Apollo offer 2 levels of user’s settable low voltage disconnect for
user to configure.
2.9 Weak Grid
With setting at weak grid mode, Energier Apollo will reduce its requirements for AC input (voltage,
frequency and waveform) and pass over the grid to power the load and meantime performing the
charging. Meantime, this mode can be worked in system with generator connected. With this setting,
Energier Apollo can work with majority of generator in the market.
2.10 Solar mode
Under SOLAR Mode, you can use Energier Apollo to compose a solar hybrid system, of which solar
energy will be used as primary. There are two solar hybrid systems for user to choose by dip switch
