Features

• Battery charge level is detected when a battery is inserted or after the unit is powered up. When a highly charged battery is encountered, only a short post-trickle charge is applied, rather than a full charge cycle. This dramatically reduces the time for a fully laden battery manager to fully recover after a power interruption — from about 6 days to about 8-12 hours.
• Some operations can be performed simultaneously on multiple batteries – the unit can charge one battery, discharge another and post-trickle charge two further batteries simultaneously. This reduces the time to process all batteries — a complete discharge-charge cycle is reduced from 12 to 5 days, while a complete charge-only cycle is reduced from about 7 days to about 12-48 hours.
• A diagnostics display shows a wide range of information about the batteries and their condition.
• There is comprehensive fault management for the unit and the batteries it manages. An extended error menu is available, plus comprehensive engineering information to assist with technical support.
• An integrated self-test assists with technical support. Faulty batteries that cannot be charged are rejected and error-marked. An audible alarm complements the visual warnings. Future firmware upgrades and new features can be implemented without dismantling the unit. Current-management, power connections and ventilation further enhance reliability. Current-monitoring features augment the already high levels of fail-safety.
