The functions available from the Power Supply mode screen are Veq and Data. 
 

[Veq] Voltage Equalization

 - The timed equalization function described in the Time 

Equalization Mode section. 
 

[Data]

 - This function lets you scroll through data stored during a timed equalization charge. 

There are ten data points taken at equal intervals during a charge. This function is described in the 
General Test Notes section. 
 
NOTE: If you want to return to the Cell Voltage mode from the Power Supply mode, press [Data] 
then press [Cell-V]. 

7. Float Voltage 

In the Power Supply mode, to set the target float voltage to the desired level, press the Inc 
(Increment) or Dec (Decrement) up/down arrow keys. As soon as the target voltage is raised 
above the actual cell voltage, current starts to flow, and the cell voltage begins to increase. The 
charger current is limited to a maximum value of 10 amps. 
 
NOTE: The target value should be the normal float voltage for that cell.

Figure 4. Power Supply Mode

 

 
NOTE: If a timed equalization function (described below) is to be performed, use the Power 
Supply mode to set the float voltage that the cell should be returned to following the equalization 
charge. When the timed equalization charge finishes, the PSC returns to the Power Supply mode. 
 
NOTE: If you want to return to the Cell Voltage mode from the Power Supply mode, press [Data] 
then press [Cell-V].
