Charger Profile

Description

C

Cold  

Storage

IEI (constant current, constant voltage, constant 

current) type with several user configurable 

parameters specifically designed for cold 

storage applications.

G

Gel-Bloc

IEI (constant current, constant voltage, constant 

current) charging profile designed for gelled 

electrolyte type sealed lead acid batteries.

I

IONIC™

The IONIC™ charge profile diagnoses the 

battery status throughout the recharge phase 

and adjusts its parameters to optimize the 

charge of flooded battery technology. Short 

current pulses injected during charge stimulate 

gas formation in the active material, allowing 

for a better density distribution of sulfuric acid 

(homogenization) across the surface of the 

plates. Being performed during the regular 

charge, this sophisticated form of equalization 

improves charge efficiency in terms of charge 

time reduction and heat generation.

LI

LITH

When a NexSys

®

 iON Li-ion battery is 

connected, the CAN communication between 

the battery and charger is established and the 

message “BMS CONNECTED” will be displayed 

on the screen. The battery BMS will control the 

charge current and voltage through the CAN.

O

Opportunity(*)

Designed for opportunity charging operations. 

It includes a start rate of up to 25% C6 and an 

equalize charge performed once a week. The 

weekly equalize charge can be programmed to 

run automatically.

T

NXBLOC

Designed for NexSys TPPL bloc batteries at 0.2 

to 0.7 C6 charging rates.

T2

NXSTND

Designed for NexSys 2V batteries at 0.2 to 0.25 

C6 charging rates.

T3

NXFAST

Designed for NexSys 2V batteries at 0.26 to 0.40 

C6 charging rates.

T4

NXPBLC

This charging profile allows charging of NexSys 

PURE bloc batteries at rates of 0.2 to 0.7 C6

T5

NXP2V

This charging profile allows charging of NexSys 

PURE 2V batteries at rates of 0.2 to 0.4 C6

IEIE (constant current, constant voltage, 

constant current, constant voltage) profile type 

for Valve Regulated Lead Acid (VRLA) batteries.

2.2.  (*) Opportunity profile options

2.2.1.  Operation: In Opportunity charging mode, the user can charge 

the battery during breaks, lunch, or any available time during the 
work schedule. The Opportunity charge profile allows the battery 
to be safely charged while it is kept in a partial state of charge 
between 20% and 80% of C6 throughout the work week. Sufficient 
time should be scheduled after the weekly equalize charge to allow 
battery cooling and to perform periodical electrolyte level checks.

2.2.2.  Daily Charge: This option can be set to add additional daily 

charging time, if the work schedule allows. It should be considered 
only when the daily work demand requires additional capacity.

2.3.  Equalization charging

2.3.1.  Equalization charging for traditional flooded lead acid batteries, 

performed after normal charging, balances the electrolyte 
densities in the battery’s cells.

2.3.2.  NOTE: The factory default is Daily Charge DISABLE, 6-8 

hours Equalize, Sunday at 00 hour for flooded, 2-hour week / 
maintenance charge for NexSys

®

 charge profiles. 

2.4.  Block out time

2.4.1.  This function inhibits the charger from charging the battery during 

the block out time window. If a charge cycle has started before the 
block out window it is inhibited during the block out window and 
will automatically restart the charge cycle at the end of the block 
out window.

2.5.  Refresh charging

2.5.1.  Refresh or maintenance charging enables the charger to maintain 

the battery at maximum state of charge as long as it is attached to 
the charger.

2.6.  Specialty charger option list

3.1.  Warning: The shipping pallet must be removed for proper and safe 

operations.

3.2.  This manual contains important safety and operating instructions. Before 

using the battery charger, read all instructions, cautions and warnings on 
the battery charger, the battery and the product using the battery.

3.3.  Read and understand all setup and operating instructions before using 

the battery charger to prevent damage to the battery and to the charger.

3.4.  Do not touch non-insulated parts of the output connector or the battery 

terminals to prevent electrical shock.

3.5.  During charge, lead acid batteries produce hydrogen gas which can 

explode if ignited. Never smoke, use an open flame or create sparks 
in the vicinity of the battery. Ventilate well when the battery is in an 
enclosed space.

3.6.  Unless charger is equipment with LM2 (Late Break/Early Make) feature Do 

not connect or disconnect the battery plug while the charger is on. Doing 
so will cause arcing and burning of the connector resulting in charger 
damage or battery explosion.

3.7.  Lead acid batteries contain sulfuric acid which causes burns. Do not 

get in eyes, on skin or on clothing. In cases of contact with eyes, flush 
immediately with clean water for 15 minutes. Seek medical attention 
immediately.
