3. CONFIGURING THE BATTERY CHARGER Selecting the correct charge program The image in chapter 2.4 showed the location of the rotary selector, which is used to select the desired charge program. The charge program selection depends on the type of battery that needs to be charged. - Page 13 Absorption voltage = 14.70V / 29.40V / 58.80V (also for Float voltage = 13.65V / 27.30V / 54.60V Optima Equalize voltage = 15.50V / 31.00V / 62.00V SpiralCell) Max. bulk time = 8hrs Max. absorption time = 4hrs Position 3 Lead Absorption voltage = 14.80V / 29.60V / 59.20V Calcium...

Page 14: Charge Programs Explained
Charge programs explained Most standard selectable charge programs, perform a four stage IUoUoP charging process comprising of a “Bulk” , an “Absorption”, a “Float” and a “Pulse” stage. The image below visualizes the four stage charging process (for typical 48V voltage values, please multiply the 24V values by 2): In the Bulk stage, the charger delivers full output current and typically returns approximately 80% of charge back into the battery once the absorption voltage is reached. - Page 15 voltage level, the charger jumps back to the Bulk stage and will finalize a complete four stage charging process again, once the battery load consumption has dropped below the charger's maximum output current level. The fourth stage called “Pulse”, will perform a short refresh charge of approximately 1 hour each 7 days while the charger operates in the Float stage.
