BATTERY CHEMISTRY SELECTION
Our Battery Chemistry option lets you set the charging profile of batteries depending
on their chemistry (AGM/Gel, Calcium, Wet, or LiFePO4). This must be done to ensure
you maintain your battery effectively and maximise its performance. To do this, press
the battery chemistry button until you have selected the correct battery type.
Battery Chemistry Button
AGM/GEL (max voltage of 14.4V (AGM) or 14.2V (Gel))
Designed specifically for either AGM or GEL type batteries.
WET (bulk and absorption 14.6 volts, recondition up to 15.8 volts)
Designed specifically for WET type batteries. As such, it has a maximum charge
voltage during bulk and absorption of 14.6 volts. If required, voltage may increase to
15.8 volts during the recondition stage.
Calcium (bulk and absorption 14.8 volts, equalisation and recondition up to 15.8 volts)
Designed for calcium batteries that have been discharged deeply and need an
equalisation charge to ensure a full electrolyte reading. Note: if the battery only needs
a top up, do so and then use the WET charge mode. This mode is also suitable for Lead
Crystal Batteries
LiFePO4 (CV mode voltage of 14.6V, CC mode maximum current of 15A for BC15 / 25A
for BC25) Designed specifically for LiFePO4 type batteries. Able to wake-up a LiFePO4
battery that has undergone low voltage disconnect.
Power Supply (constant voltage of 13.6 volts)
When in power supply mode, a constant voltage of 13.6VDC of up to 10A for BC15
and 20A for BC25. This is to power appliances or tools that are otherwise 12V battery
powered. See “Power Supply” section.
WARNING
Do not attempt to charge a battery with a different
chemistry. This may damage the battery. Do not connect
in reverse polarity batteries higher than 12V as it may
damage the charger.
