- | Above voltages are for a lithium battery. When configured for other battery types, the voltage needs to drop 5.2V below the configured float voltage. Unless that is configure to 56,8V or higher, then the battery voltage needs to drop below 51.6V for the system to switch back to bulk. | + | A Fronius Smart Meter can be used in these two situations: |
