Charging Method
The charging method for all Eco Battery Lithium (LiFePo4) battery chargers is CC/CV (constant current/constant voltage). Once AC power is connected, the battery charger will initiate a bulk charge. When the battery reaches the voltage setpoint, it will stop charging. There is no float stage. For 12V and 24V models, even if left plugged in, you will need to unplug/plug in the AC power to initiate a new charge cycle. For 36V and 48V chargers, the charger will automatically initiate a new charge charge cycle if the battery voltage drops significantly while plugged in. Max charge time for all chargers is 12 hours.
Installation
- Mount charger with suitable hardware for the application.
- Connect the M8 ring terminal charging leads to the battery. Ensure the highest power drawing cables. are attached to the battery first, with lower drawing cables stacked on top. See figure 1 below.
- Torque terminal nuts or bolts to battery specifications – Do not over tighten.
- Plug AC power cord into 115V receptacle.
- The battery charger will now begin a charge cycle
