Opportunity profile options

Operation: In Opportunity charging mode, the user can charge the battery during breaks, lunch, or any available time during the work schedule. The Opportunity charge profile allows the battery to be safely charged while it is kept in a partial state of charge between 20% and 80% of C6 throughout the work week. Sufficient time should be scheduled after the weekly equalize charge to allow battery cooling and to perform periodical electrolyte level checks.

Daily Charge: This option can be set to add additional daily charging time, if the work schedule allows. It should be considered only when the daily Work demand requires additional capacity.

Equalization charging

Equalization charging for traditional flooded lead acid batteries, performed after normal charging, balances the electrolyte densities in the battery’s cells.

NOTE: The factory default is Daily Charge DISABLE, 6-8 hours Equalize, Sunday at 00 hour for flooded, 2-hour week / maintenance charge for NexSys®battery charge profiles.

Block out time

This function inhibits the charger from charging the battery during the block out time window. If a charge cycle has started before the block out window it is inhibited during the block out window and will automatically restart the charge cycle at the end of the block out window.

Refresh charging

Refresh or maintenance charging enables the charger to maintain the battery at maximum state of charge as long as it is attached to the charger.
