Page 8: Power Supply Mode
POWER SUPPLY MODE Connect the unit to the DC power source and batteries being charged. Press the Power Button on the unit’s front panel. The battery charger will go through its startup sequence. All 6 microprocessor-controlled LEDs flash red and then green. When the Power Button starts glowing, the sequence is complete. -
Page 9: Installation
Do not connect or disconnect anything to the unit while it is powered. To reduce the risk of high voltage electric shock, never connect or disconnect anything to the BCDi320 while it is ON. INPUT POWER CONNECTION The unit is equipped with two 3-foot/1 meter Type D Stranded AWG14 wire leads to serve as a DC Input Connection. -
Page 10: Dc Output Connection
DC OUTPUT CONNECTION This unit is equipped with a pair of Phoenix VDFK Terminal block connectors to serve as a DC Output connection for connection to battery banks. The connection can support up to two connected battery banks. The polarity for these connections can be found on the unit’s front panel label. CAUTION: If you are charging two banks of batteries, they MUST share a common ground! Connector Color... -

The optimal charging voltage of a battery will decrease as its temperature increases. The charger uses this value to calculate DEFAULT WARM (21°C/70°F) its charging compensation if there... -
Page 14: Front Panel Adjustments
Front Panel Adjustments Using the two switches between the Program and Select buttons on the front panel, you can select whether a 2-stage or 3-stage charging profile is used to charge the batteries and control the battery charger’s behavior when the charging cycle ends. END-OF-CHARGE SELECT The End-of-Charge (EOC) select switch controls the charger’s behavior after it finishes charg- ing the battery/ batteries. -
Page 15: Charging Profiles
Charging Profiles This unit has both two-stage and three-stage charging capability. You can choose which charg- ing profile is used during operation by using the Stage Select switch on the front panel. Below are explanations of the two profiles: TWO-STAGE CHARGING Bulk Float •... - Page 16 Equalize Cycle If a battery’s cells are left discharged for too long, sulfate crystals can form on the plates interfer- ing with their conductance. This reduces the battery’s capacity and recharging ability. An equalize cycle is a deliberate overcharge of the battery at high voltage (110% of float voltage) and low current (10% of standard output) to force undercharged cells to match charge of the good cells in the battery.
