- Over Voltage Disconnect Voltage > Over Charge Protection Voltage (Protection Circuit Modules(BMS))+0.2V
- Over Voltage Disconnect Voltage > Over Voltage Reconnect Voltage ＝ Charge Voltage Limit Voltage ≥ Equalize Charging Voltage ＝ Boost Charging Voltage ≥ Float Charging Voltage > Boost Voltage Reconnect Voltage
- Low Voltage Reconnect Voltage > Low Voltage Disconnect Voltage ≥ Discharge Voltage Limit Voltage
- Under Voltage Reconnect Voltage > Under Voltage Warning Voltage ≥ Discharge Voltage Limit Voltage
- Boost Voltage Reconnect Voltage > Low Voltage Reconnect Voltage
- Low Voltage Disconnect Voltage ≥ Over Discharge Protection Voltage (BMS)+0.2V)
WARNING: The lithium battery voltage parameters must be set according to the voltage parameters of the lithium battery BMS.
WARNING: The required accuracy of BMS shall be at least 0.2V. If the deviation is higher than 0.2V, the manufacturer will assume no liability for any system malfunction caused by this.
