Introduction
The IBC320 Intelligent Battery Charger delivers a full 300 watts of charging power to charge a
12, 24, 32 or 48 volt, one or two bank battery system (batteries must share a common ground).
The charger comes standard with easy to use color coded battery connection terminals.
The charger uses advanced Power Factor Correction circuitry on the AC input so it will work
from any standard AC voltage anywhere in the world and use the electricity in the most
effective and efficient way. LLC Resonant Converter technology allows Zero Voltage/Zero
Current switching on the Primary or high voltage side of the main power transformer, and
Active Rectification on the Secondary or low voltage side ensures maximum efficiency and
the lowest Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) so the EBC320 will not interfere with sensitive
voice or data RF communication equipment.
The charger is preprogrammed for three standard types of Lead Acid batteries; Flooded
(traditional Lead Acid), AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat Lead Acid) and Gel or VRLA (Valve
Regulated Lead Acid). It also has a 4th that is preset for a typical Lithium Ion battery. Any of
the 4 charging profiles can be adjusted to suit a specific make and model of battery using the
PowerWizard software that is free to download from www.analyticsystems.com.
The charger is supplied with one battery temperature sensor and a second sensor can be
added for two bank battery systems. Based on the temperature of the batteries the charger
will adjust its charging voltage for optimal charging. In the event a sensor is not used or
becomes faulty, the charger can be pre-set to one of three default battery temperatures, or
it can be programmed to automatically estimate the battery temperature by reading its own
temperature at the time it is turned on.
Eight dual color LEDs clearly indicate charging levels and stages as well as indicating faults
with either the charger or the batteries. The ‘PowerWizard’ software adds advanced charging
algorithm programming and charger monitoring as well as a graphing function through the
built in USB port.
Safety features include charger and battery over temperature shutdown, current limiting, short
circuit protection, input under voltage shutdown and output over-voltage protection all with
automatic recovery.
The charger requires no maintenance other than the occasional wipe down to remove any
accumulation of dust or dirt.
