4. Battery Module Configuration
Single Profile Configuration
A Single Profile Configuration provides
the profile details to the charger, and
the charge is completed as per the
Primary Profile. Typically this would be a
conventional rate charge profile with
appropriate finishing stages to ensure a
healthy battery.
Dual Profile Configuration
A Dual Profile Configuration allows a
battery to be charged with either of two
profiles depending on how the charger
is configured and how the module
profiles are set up.
Typical use is a high-rate primary
profile, followed by a conventional rate
charge with finishing stages as a
secondary profile.
The secondary profile starts only once
criteria in the primary profile are met,
such as after a time delay.
