Page 10: Silent Mode
Battery Positive Bank 1 Silent Mode A unique feature of the Enerdrive ePOWER Battery Charger is the ability to disable the cooling fan for total silent operation at night or whenever required. This setting is manually activated via the display and remains active for a period of 12 hours, or until manually deactivated. -
Page 11: Multistage Charging Process
As dictated by battery manufacturer’s recommendations, deep cycle batteries require a multistage charge sequence for perfect, fast and accurate charging. Enerdrive multistage smart chargers delivers four primary charge stages. Stage 1 – Bulk or Boost charge; The battery is charged at full rated output current of the charger until the battery reaches its final charging voltage, known as its absorption voltage. -
Page 12: Smart Charging Feature
Stage 4- Maintenance stage is a regular timed recharge (or return to bulk stage). The Enerdrive ePOWER Battery Charger switches the charger from float to boost after 7 days of constant operation to ensure the battery banks remain active. Smart Charging Feature The ePOWER Battery Charger will regulate its output based on the loads connected to your battery banks. - Page 13 Page 13...
