2.11. Charge Profiles Tab
The charge profile used during
charging
is selected in the
Configuration tab, (if using a
battery module, thecharge profile is
selected in the Battery Module
Configuration tab), however the
Charge Profiles tab is used to
adjust the thresholds that define a
profile and to create all new
profiles.
The charger is programmed with
eight
default charge profiles
covering the most common battery
chemistries and can store up to 16
additional
customized charge
profiles.
Each stage of the charge cycle has
thresholds, timeouts and durations
which may be adjusted to suit
specific batteries and charge rates.
A graphical representation of the
profile is provided reflecting the
threshold values.
Profile Type
The Profile Type drop-down list allows the basic structure of the profile to be selected.
Descriptions of available profile types are listed below.
“Bulk” “Finishing”
Profile Type Stage 1 Stage 2 Stage 3 Description
Unused
A profile configured as Unused allows that profile to be rendered
non-functional and is ignored by the charger.
