LIFESPEED MOD3
Battery Boss WC (BBWC™)
This is a compact wireless electronic device that is installed on the battery to provide real-time
battery diagnostics. The device monitors the battery parameters such as capacity,
temperature, voltage and state of charge, allowing the user to maximize battery performance
and life.

Blockout Time

This function prevents the charger from charging the battery during the block out time window.
If a charge cycle has started before the block out window it is inhibited during the block out
window and will automatically restart the charge cycle at the end of the block out window.

Charging Profile

The charging profile defines the rate of current charge over time. The charger adapts to the
battery's condition and level of discharge.

Cold Storage

This is a charging profile that allows the configuration of the charger for use with batteries in cold
storage application. The profile is an IEI (constant current, constant voltage, constant current)
type with a number of user configurable parameters.

Equalization Charging

Equalization charging is performed after normal charging. It balances the electrolyte densities in
the battery's cells.

Float Charge

A float charge at the end of standard charge is intended to compensate for consumption by the
truck electronics that are left on when truck is not being operated.

Ionic Profile

Also called "ionic mixing", this type of charging profile consists of sending short pulses of current
to stimulate gas formation in the active material, causing sulfuric acid to be distributed outside
the plates. This system of mixing the electrolyte enables more rapid charging of flooded cell
batteries subject to very high demands and balances out differences in density, homogenizing
the electrolyte across the surface of the plates.
Opportunity Profile
The OPPOR charge profile is used when opportunity charging is desired. It has a start rate of
25% of the batteries rated amp hour capacity, requires one complete recharge in every 24 hours
of service and must have an equalize charge done once a week which is programmed to run
automatically.
Operation:
During opportunity charging the user can plug the battery in and charge it during breaks,
lunch or any work stoppage time. One time per day the battery must receive a full
standard Ionic recharge. The charger real time clock must be adjusted and set for this
switch in charging profile to occur automatically at a predetermined time. Sufficient time
should be scheduled after the full charge to allow the battery to completely cool to ambient
temperatures before use.
