Capstone Capstone Turbine Corporation MicroTurbine Userís Manual Battery packs stored for extended periods will become discharged. Battery pack storage times are based on the temperature that they are stored at. If the battery pack is stored for a period greater than indicated in the table below, the battery pack can have permanently reduced capacity and could require replacement. Storage Temperature Recharge Interval Less than 68°F (20°C) 68°F (20°C) to 86°F (30°C) 86°F (30°C) to 104°F (40°C) 104°F (40°C) to 122°F (50°C) 122°F (50°C) to 140°F (60°C) 180 Days 90 Days 45 Days 20 Days 5 Days If the MicroTurbine is in Sleep or Standby mode, there is a parasitic load that will greatly reduce the allowable storage time. • In Sleep Mode, the battery pack will need to be recharged after a maximum of 90 days (or less, based on the battery storage temperature table above). • In Standby Mode, the battery pack will need to be recharged after 12 to 24 hours. When the recommended recharge interval is reached, the battery pack voltage should be recorded, and the battery pack must be recharged. If the MicroTurbine is in operation, a Manual Recharge or a Shutdown Recharge will be sufficient to recharge the battery pack. Refer to the section on Stand Alone operation and the Display Manual Battery Management Menu for more data. If the MicroTurbine cannot be operated, the optional Capstone External Battery Charger can be used to recharge the battery pack. Contact your Capstone Authorized Service Provider for details on the Capstone External Battery Charger. Battery Charge Management The MicroTurbine system is designed to keep the battery approximately 80% charged during operation. This allows for sourcing and sinking of power transients in Stand Alone Mode. After an OFF command the system will recharge the battery to 90% before shutting down. This recharge can take up to 20 minutes. During normal use, battery cells become charged unequally. Periodically, the MicroTurbine will perform an equalization charge cycle to keep the battery in top condition. Allowable times (in 4-hour minimum windows) must be programmed for when this can occur. Refer to the Battery Management menu in the Display Panel section. Manual Battery Pack Equalization Charge If the system is not operating or is in storage, a manual equalization charge may be commanded if the system is connected to the electric utility grid (Grid Connect Operation on page 31). Follow these steps to initiate a Battery Pack Equalization charge: 1. Enter your User Password. 2. Go to the Battery Mgmt (Battery Management) top-level menu, and then navigate to the Manual Charge submenu. 3. Select line three on the display panel and use the (-) or (+) buttons to ENABLE a manual charge. Notice that battery pack equalization charge can take up to 4 hours. 400001-001 Rev A (July 2002) Page 41 of 52 This information is proprietary to Capstone Turbine Corporation.
