The charging current can be limited to 20A by connecting the LC port to the next IN+ port via the provided signal cable. If there is no need for current limiting, it can be disconnected.
8. Режими пуњења
The charger utilizes a multi-stage charging process to optimize battery life and performance.
Image: A graph illustrating the voltage and current curves during the three charging stages (Pre-Charge, Constant Current, Constant Voltage) over time.
- Pre-Charge Stagе (Т1): Када је батерија волtage is lower than its normal standard and cannot withstand high-current charging, the charger will charge it at a limited current. This charging mode will be able to activate and repair the battery and extend the battery's lifetime. When the output voltagКада е достигне нормалну вредност, пуњач ће се аутоматски пребацити на следећи stage.
- Пуњење константном струјом Сtagе (Т2): When the battery is in the main charging time, the charger will charge the battery with a 40A current. When the battery voltagе пређе подешену вредност, пуњач ће се аутоматски пребацити на следећи stage.
- Цонстант Волtagе Пуњење Сtagе (Т3): Пуњач се пребацује на Цонстант Волtagе Пуњење Сtagе и струја пуњења се постепено смањује. Када се пуњење волtagе или струја достигне подешену вредност, пуњач аутоматски искључује излазни напонtagе и пуњење батерије је завршено.
