Charge Curve and Parameters

Charge Curve
The curve setting is the battery type the charger uses to
select proper output voltage & current characteristics, if
the charger does not detect a Prestolite BID.
The values on the right are the rates for the chosen
charge curve. The custom curve allows the user to mod-
ify these values.
Termination Type
VT-4 –The charger will continue to charge for 4 hours
after the 80% SOC point is reached.
VT-4 w/ DvDt override. –If the battery charges to 80%
SOC in under 5 minutes. The charger will automatically
select VT-4 w/ DvDt override enabling DvDt termination
to "top off" the battery.
VT-6 –The charger will charge for 6 hours after 80%
SOC point is reached, unless the charger voltage is
greater than 2.65vpc, at which point the charger will
enable DVDT shutdown.
DVDT –When the charger reaches 80% SOC, battery
voltage is monitored and the charge stopped when the
voltage rise slows to a point to indicate a fully charged
battery.
Additional Charge Time -Extra run time, starts at the
Charge Complete point (00:00 to 02:00 hours) default
00.

BID Settings

1. Battery ID Number
Programs the battery identification number into the BID
(000000 to 999999).
2. Equalize Count
Displays cycle count since last equalize.
3. AH Capacity
Programs the battery ampere hour rating into the BID.
Once programmed, the charger will recognize the bat-
tery upon connection and charge the battery at the
proper charge rates or the max charger output, which-
ever is greater (0000 to 3000).
4. Start Amps/100
Programs the charger start rate at the programmed BID
AH rating to the selected amps/100AH (20 to 50).
5. Number of Cells
Programs the Cell Size into the BID. Once programmed,
the charger will recognize the battery upon connection,
bypass the battery cell size verify function, and charge
to the programmed BID cell size.
6. Charge Curve
Programs the battery curve type into the BID. The
charger will recognize the battery type upon connection.
7. BID Communication
Must be selected to enable communication between the
BID & the charger.
NOTE: When data is being written to the BID, a popup
box will appear that says "Refresh BID"
