1 minute. Profile Name (optional) You can name each profile in the ProTechNZ BFS-180 with your own 7 character name. This it to be able to easily select the correct charge profile when using the ProTechNZ BFS-180 charger on multiple battery stacks. -
Page 10: Lead Acid Charging
Lead Acid Charging How a Lead Acid Charge Works The lead acid charging of the ProTechNZ BFS-180 charger is done using a three stage boost, absorption, float profile. The boost stage brings the battery stack up to voltage and equalizes the cells in the stack. Once the boost voltage has been reached, it will go into absorption mode. -

Power Limits How Power Limits Work The power limits are set to limit the amount of power the ProTechNZ BFS-180 draws from the AC mains. This value is not 100% accurate due to the different efficiency of the charger at different voltages and currents. It is however perfectly suitable for matching the power consumption to the capabilities of the mains wiring. -
