OPTIMATE LITHIUM BATTERY CHARGER 5 A/h

The new SUPER B Lithium Battery Charger protects your investment and guarantees the advertised performance of your Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4 / LFP) battery for a long time.

CHARACTERISTICS:

-Maximum input current: 0.55 A at 230 V

-Main charge output current: 0.4 A - 5 A

-Multi-stage autofocus (high voltage, turbo and pulsed mode)

-Charging time limit 24 hours (maintenance time: unlimited)

-Test / maintenance cycles: 30 min / 30 min (alternate time)

-Input and output cable length: 2 m

OPERATING MODE:

1. Prequalification Test: The Optimate Super B Lithium Battery Charger displays the battery status before charging and measures the ambient temperature. The ampmaticTM charging program is selected based on temperature and battery status.

2. Low-voltage recovery: Safe protection mode to control charging during this delicate step of battery recovery, to ensure proper recovery of a discharged battery. Tests are carried out throughout the recovery program to determine if the battery has recovered and you can switch to the MAIN CHARGE mode.

3. Primary charge: The ampmaticTM processor actively adjusts the charge current based on battery capacity and status, to obtain a full charge in the best possible time.
Progress is tracked based on the ideal charging curve for LiFePO4 batteries.

4. Checking for short-circuit / dead cells: Monitoring of the
Charge progression is based on the ideal LiFePO4 charge curve. If internal damage is detected, this avoids unnecessarily charging a battery that cannot be recovered.

5. Absorption and equalization: for 10 minutes, the current is sent by pulses, with a controlled voltage between 14.0 and 14.3 V, thus contributing to the harmonization of the cell voltage and improving the general current distribution of the
drums.

6. Charge check: The voltage is limited to 13.6V while the ampmaticTM processor monitors the current drawn by the battery. If a non-optimal state of charge is revealed, the program reverts to absorption mode for an additional 10 minutes.

7. Voltage hold test: performed for 30 minutes, during which no load current is distributed. The test can give 5 different results that indicate the general condition of the battery. If the result is green (voltage 12.7V), the test is extended up to 12 hours to check for excessive spontaneous discharges or abnormal power loss through the vehicle's electrical system.

8. Maintenance charge: During 12 hours there are floating charging periods of 30 minutes (at a voltage of 13.6 V), alternating with periods of "rest" of 30 minutes (without charging current). During the floating charge period, power will only be provided if the battery has been discharged due to the connected circuit of the vehicle. An update cycle can be achieved if the load level has been significantly reduced. The maintenance charge and voltage hold test cycle repeats 24 hours after the start of the first test and continues to repeat as long as the charger remains connected.
