SBS MicroSMART Battery Charger Technical Handbook
When
Weekday
is selected all charges ongoing the configured weekday will run an equalize
charge.
This function tells the charging curve to run an equalize charge. If and when equalize charging
is performed is defined in the charging curve, normally when the battery is fully charged.
Please note that if
Charging param
is set to
BMU
and
Equalize
is activated in BMU the charger
parameters will be disabled because then
Equalize
is scheduled in the BMU.
5.5.6.
BBC, Best Battery Choice
This function is only visible in the menu system if the charger is connected to a radio network.
The
BBC
function is intended for battery prioritizing. If a group of chargers are connected to
the same radio network, the
BBC
function is active and if they have the same
Group ID,
only
one of the chargers will light up green and indicate ready at a time. The decision criteria for
the best battery are longest time in best charging stage. In this way the batteries are being
used more evenly which causes reduced temperatures and longer rest periods between
cycles. This will also make sure that the battery can deliver up to its full potential when actually
being used.
If a charging related alarm occurs in the charger being BBC it will no longer be BBC.
Time between BBC messages
60 s
Time to BBC can set first time (battery connected)
90-270 s
Time between BBC is set and green lamp is lit (if ready)
