Page 5: Three Stage Charging Methodology
Approved Copy OPERATION CONTINUED THREE STAGE CHARGING METHODOLOGY will deliver a three stage charge routine to each battery. In general, the PowerCharger ® 1. STAGE ONE will deliver a high rate charge matched to the capabilities of the battery (typically a one or two hour rate, depending on battery type and charger power module rating). During this stage, six separate cutoff methods are in operation, simultaneously, ensuring the fastest, safest charge for that battery. Stage One is indicated by the LCD displaying “Charging (Primary)”.: TCO - Temperature cutoff which stops the Stage one charge precisely when a temperature indicative of full charge is reached; Dt/dT - A microprocessor based algorithm which measures a rise in temperature over a specific time, very accurately indicating full charge. This method is also the recommended method for charging Ni-MH technology; ∆V - A method to determine the end of stage one charging by identifying a characteristic “reverse slope” of a Ni-Cd cell. Since this characteristic can be disguised by the age, temperature and the number of the cells in a battery, it can never be employed alone; CCO - This method requires the identification of the particular battery size (capacity) and chemistry, an exclusive Anton/Bauer Logic ® Series feature. The charger determines the maximum charge time for the particular battery and uses this information to ensure that overcharge conditions are avoided. FUL - This determination is made when a fully charged DIGITAL battery is returned to a PowerCharger within specified parameters of time, temperature, and battery voltage. The DIGITAL battery communicates its fully charged condition and the charger confirms the parameters and immediately indicates a fully charged condition, without additional verification. TEMPERATURE COMPENSATED VCO – For HyTRON series of batteries. Similar to a VCO, however, only operates within certain ™... -
