3. Charger Configuration
The FSx series charger can be operated in a number of different ways, depending on
the configuration of the charger and battery modules.
Dedicated Profile Configuration
This is the standard single battery-type
configuration (voltage, capacity and
chemistry) and default configuration
for the charger. The charger is
manually configured for use with a
single battery configuration and any
battery may be charged provided the
rating matches that of the charger
configuration.
Alternate battery types cannot be
charged without reconfiguring the
charger appropriately.
Automatic Profile Configuration
Any battery module-fitted battery
within the voltage and current
capabilities of the charger can be
connected and charged appropriately.
The battery module provides the
necessary profile information to the
charger once the battery is connected.
