AGM – **AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat) batteries differ from flooded lead acid batteries in that the electrolyte is held in the glass mats, as opposed to freely flooding the plates. Very thin glass fibers are woven into a mat to increase surface area enough to hold sufficient electrolyte on the cells for their lifetime. -
Page 9: Power Limit
Power Limit Depending on the size and type of the battery or batteries connected to the charger, the standard charging current output of the charger may be more than is optimal or recommended. Refer to the documentation from your battery manufacturer to determine the maximum safe charging current. -

A 2 Stage charging profile consists of charging the battery at a constant current until the battery voltage reaches the Float Voltage. The charger will then maintain the battery at the Float Voltage and the current will gradually taper down.

Page 12: Operation
Operation Operation of the IBC320 charger is very simple. It is intended to operate fully unattended, and will attempt to recover from any fault, such as Charger Over-Temperature, Battery Over- Temperature, Insufficient Input Voltage, Power Failure and more. In a fixed installation, presumably the charger is already connected to the battery or batteries. Once the battery is connected to the charger, confirm that the ‘POL’... -
Page 13: Charging Indicators
Equalize Cycle An equalize cycle is a deliberate overcharge of the battery at a low current to force an undercharged cell to charge up to match the charge of the good cells in the battery. This cycle should only be selected once every 6 months or thereabouts as it is hard on the good cells of the battery and can cause water loss. -
Page 14: Power Supply Mode
Power Supply Mode The IBC320 charger can be switched to Power Supply Mode at any time by pressing and holding the Power button for 3 seconds until you hear 2 beeps. This changes the operation of the charger in the following ways. 1. -
Page 15: Maintenance
Maintenance The charger requires no maintenance other than the occasional wipe down to remove dust that could reduce its ability to dissipate heat, and carefully blow air through the cooling vent to remove any dust buildup on it or inside the unit. Dry Contact Relay (option) The charger can be fitted with a 1 amp dry contact relay that can be used to indicate charger status to a monitoring system. -

Page 17: Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting The IBC320 charger is designed to provide years of reliable service. However in the event that it does not seem to be operating correctly, here are some things you can check. AC Present LED does not come on. First make sure any external circuit breaker is ON. Unplug or turn off the external power to the charger. - Page 18 No Battery If the charger is turned on without a battery connected, it will show this display. Simply connect a battery to clear this fault. If a battery IS connected and you see this fault, it usually means the battery is completely discharged. Try switching the charger to Power Supply mode for a few minutes and then back to Charger mode to see if the battery will return to life.

Page 19: Abbreviations And Definitions
Abbreviations and definitions We use a number of abbreviations on the labels to save space. Here are the full words corresponding to each abbreviation along with common battery charger terms and their definitions: ABBREVIATIONS POL – Polarity. Refers to the correct connection of the Positive and Negative terminals of the battery to the charger. - Page 20 • Absorption – The first Constant Voltage stage in a 3 stage charging algorithm, where the battery is maintained at an elevated voltage for a period of time to ensure full and equal recharging of all cells. • Equalize – A deliberate overcharge at low current to bring a weak cell up to the same charge level as the good cells in a weak battery.
