Open architecture presets
Dual PowerLab 8x2
can be described as being “preset driven.” All major aspects of its
operation are defined as parameters at the preset level. The fact that you (for the most
part) can set these parameters introduces the concept of “open architecture presets.”
As an example of how preset parameters affect the charging process, each Auto mode
preset includes a Fuel Table unique to a specific battery chemistry. When you select a
User Preset for the REVO Red brand, for example, you are also selecting a Fuel Table
tailored for that brand. The Dual PowerLab 8x2 uses the Fuel Table to adjust current to
maintain the specified C charge rate. Given a brand-specific Fuel Table, the Fuel Level
display and Auto charge modes are highly accurate.
When preparing to charge a pack, the first step is to find the appropriate User Preset. If
one doesn’t exist, you might be able to create a User Preset from the closest Library
Preset. Or you might select a User Preset from the library available in the Charge
Control Software (which enables you to load, select, backup and share presets). You
can even create a new, custom Fuel Table for any Li chemistry using the
FMA technicians will continually update the presets library, which is included each time
you update the Charge Control Software. This library will be supported far into the future
as new battery brands and chemistries are introduced.
