DESCRIPTION & USE
INTRODUCTION
The LifeSpeed IQ
TM
range of chargers is designed to recharge
24 V, 36 V, 48 V, 72V or 80 V batteries with 3-phase mains
supply. The micro processor-controlled unit automatically
recognises the battery (voltage, capacity, charge level, etc.)
and very effectively analyses its condition for optimum
handling. Several charging profiles are available (vented
