OPERATIONAL CHARACTERISTICS
➢
Four stage algorithm operation
•
Soft start charge mode
– the current
increases gradually over the first two
minutes from approximately one fifth of the
bulk charge current up to the factory set
bulk charge rate
•
Bulk charge mode
– current is supplied to
the battery at the rate programmed into the
charger for the specific battery pack
•
Topping charge mode
– current is supplied
for two hours at a C-10 rate to complete the
charge cycle
•
Maintenance charge mode
– current is
supplied at the C/40 rate until the battery is
removed
CHARGER PART NUMBER DETERMINATION
➢
The PC-8045 specific part number can be configured
and ordered using the following
•
•
•
•
•
PC-8045-BB-CC-DD(T)
Where
BB
is the cell count for the battery
Where
CC
is the batteries capacity in Ampere Hours
Where
DD
is the charge time in quarter hour increments
Where
(T)
needs to be added, if the battery pack
contains a the thermistor to be monitored
