The proper setting for the LVD will depend upon the type of energy storage system that is used. The factory LVD voltage on many components designed for use with lead acid batteries is set to a very low value of around 10-20% state of charge. Most battery manufacturers do not recommend that a deep cycle battery regularly be discharged beyond 50% state of charge, therefore it is worth considering raising this value. It is important to note that voltage of a battery bank can drop rapidly if it is put under significant load and could cause a LVD with too high of a voltage value to disconnect the loads when it is not desirable. It is necessary to determine a voltage that is a proper balance for the particular system.
