algorithm tailored to match it. Actual usage duty cycle greatly affects the set-
tings and the overall accuracy of the BDI algorithm. The power level and type
of battery charger used also affect the BDI algorithm, and therefore testing
must be done to match the charger as well.
See Appendix B for guidelines on setting up these BDI parameters.
BDI MENU
ALLOWABLE
RANGE
20.0–28.0 V Voltage when the battery is fully charged.
Note: Allowable range is restricted by the Empty Voltage,
Start Charge Voltage, and Reset Voltage settings.
16.0–24.0 V Voltage when the battery is fully discharged.
Note: Allowable range is restricted by the Full Voltage setting.
24.0–32.0 V Voltage, when a charger is connected, above which the battery
is considered finished charging.
Note: Allowable range is restricted by the Start Charge setting.
21.0–29.0 V Voltage above which the battery is considered to start charging.
Note: Allowable range is restricted by the Full Voltage and
Full Charge Voltage settings.
20.0–28.0 V Voltage at which the BDI calculator will be reset to 100%, after
the charger is disconnected and the controller is powered up.
Note: Allowable range is restricted by the Full Voltage setting.
0.1–10.0 Discharge rate of the battery. Larger values are for larger batteries,
which discharge more slowly.
0.1–10.0 Charge rate of the battery. Larger values are for larger batteries,
which charge more slowly.
0–100 % Sets the battery charge level at which maximum vehicle speed will be
limited in order to protect the battery from deep discharge.
Setting Low BDI Level to zero disables this function and allows the
battery to discharge completely.
10–100 % Sets the maximum allowed vehicle speed when the battery charge falls
below the programmed Low BDI Level.
