    WSC Series 4-stage Battery Charger 8 Settings Charging voltage setting The switch field S1 can be used to select the charging voltage, equalization voltage, charging time and the operation mode of this charger (see Figure 17 Switch, Page. 12). Warning!

  • Page 22: Half Power Mode Setting

    WSC Series 4-stage Battery Charger Half power mode setting When the switch S2 “HALF POWER” is pushed, the output power will reduce to half the chargers' amp rating and the “STATUS” LED will flash. The switch S2 is a kind of no memory switch. That means "ON/OFF" status cannot be identified from the switch.

  • Page 23: Using The Charger

    WSC Series 4-stage Battery Charger 9 Using the Charger Charging characteristic The charging characteristic is generally designated as a modified IUoU characteristic. Figure 18 Charging characteristic 9.1.1 I phase (bulk) The "STATUS" LED constantly lights Red. In the first stage of the charging process, the depleted battery is charged with a constant current until the battery voltage reaches I phase setting voltage (13.5V/13.8 V or 27.0V/27.6 V).
  • Page 24 WSC Series 4-stage Battery Charger After reaching the setting voltage, it remains constant. However, the current drops again. Within this main charging phase, the battery is charged to 95% of its capacity. Note The charging voltage and the period for the main charging phase (Uo phase) can be selected using the switch field S1.
