3. UNDERSTANDING THE UNIT
The Enerdrive ePOWER Battery Charger is a fully automatic multistage
battery charger with the ability to charge 3 separate battery banks.
When rst connected to an AC power source, the charger will check all
three battery banks before charging commences. The ePOWER Battery
Charger operates on an isolated charging design where battery bank
one is separate from battery bank two and three. Battery bank one is the
priority battery bank in the charging sequence and must be connected
to the primary house (or main) battery bank. Battery bank one can be
programmed with a dierent charge algorithm over banks two and
three.
Battery bank two and three are connected in parallel internally (with a
separation diode) and share a common charge algorithm.
During normal operation the ePOWER Battery Charger will do a full
charge cycle to oat stage on battery bank one with battery types
set to either GEL, AGM, FLOODED or LITHIUM (see Lithium section for
limitations of use). Once oat stage is reached the charger transitions
to charge banks two and three together with a bulk / absorption mode
(battery banks two and three can be set to either GEL, AGM or FLOODED).
On completion all three battery banks move to oat stage with a shared
battery voltage determined by bank one settings. This setting allows
the charger to remain permanently connected to mains if required.
CAUTION
Battery bank one should ONLY be connected to the main battery bank that
requires charge priority.
On single battery bank installations DO NOT use bank two and three charger
outlets.
