TC2 Series BattChg Owners Guide.book Page 1 Tuesday, July 1, 2008 11:55 PM 2 Operation WARNING The battery charger must be properly installed with in accordance with all local and application-specific codes and ordinances before it is used. For installation instructions, see Truecharge™ 2 Battery Charger Installation Guide (doc. part number: 975-0402-01-01). Chapter 2 describes the operating states and provides procedures for charging a battery and performing an equalization.
TC2 Series BattChg Owners Guide.book Page 2 Tuesday, July 1, 2008 11:55 PM Operation About Truecharge™ 2 Battery Charger Most Truecharge™ 2 Battery Charger models have three outputs that share the full rated current enabling it to charge three different batteries or battery banks that either have the same chemistry or can tolerate the same charge sequence and thresholds. Model TC1012 has only one output while model TC1512 has two outputs that share the full rated current output.
TC2 Series BattChg Owners Guide.book Page 3 Tuesday, July 1, 2008 11:55 PM About Truecharge™ 2 Battery Charger Three-Stage Charging The three-stage charging mode employs the following sequence: Bulk, Absorption, and Float. During the Bulk stage the batteries are accepting a constant maximum current. In the Absorption stage, the battery voltage is held constant and the current declines. A battery will “gas” (produce hydrogen and oxygen) when its voltage exceeds the “gassing” voltage.
TC2 Series BattChg Owners Guide.book Page 4 Tuesday, July 1, 2008 11:55 PM Operation Two-Stage Charging The two-stage charging mode employs the following sequence: Bulk and Absorption. It runs similar to the threestage sequence except that there is no float stage; after the absorption stage the charger stops providing voltage and current to the battery and enters a “rest or standby stage.
TC2 Series BattChg Owners Guide.book Page 5 Tuesday, July 1, 2008 11:55 PM About Truecharge™ 2 Battery Charger Charging Voltage Setpoints The Truecharge™ 2 Battery Charger charging process enables the battery or battery banks to reach the following voltage setpoints. Table 2-1 Charging Maximum Voltages for 12 V Chargers Battery Type Bulk/ Absorption (Volts) Float (Volts) Equalization (Volts) Flooded 14.4 13.5 16.0 GEL 14.2 13.8 not applicable AGM 14.3 13.4 not applicable Lead-Calcium 15.
TC2 Series BattChg Owners Guide.book Page 6 Tuesday, July 1, 2008 11:55 PM Operation Charging Overview The Truecharge™ 2 Battery Charger will perform a battery qualification on each application of AC, to determine if battery banks are present and healthy. To force a battery detection sequence, 1. Turn off AC. 2. Wait approximately 20 seconds or until all lights on the charger or remote have gone out. 3. Turn on AC.
TC2 Series BattChg Owners Guide.book Page 7 Tuesday, July 1, 2008 11:55 PM About Truecharge™ 2 Battery Charger Temperature Considerations Xantrex strongly recommends that you purchase and install the optional Battery Temperature Sensor (BTS) to protect your battery and improve charging accuracy. Attach the BTS to the warmest battery. If no BTS is connected, the charger defaults to the Battery Temp. selection on the onboard display and remote panel.
TC2 Series BattChg Owners Guide.book Page 8 Tuesday, July 1, 2008 11:55 PM Operation Charging Batteries Before you start to charge batteries read the “Important Safety Instructions” on page v and follow all safety precautions when working with batteries. To charge your batteries: 1. If possible, disconnect all loads from the battery, by opening disconnect switches or by switching the loads off. 2. Ventilate the area around the battery thoroughly.

TC2 Series BattChg Owners Guide.book Page 10 Tuesday, July 1, 2008 11:55 PM Operation Equalizing Flooded Batteries About Equalization CAUTION: Risk of battery damage The Truecharge™ 2 Battery Charger will only equalize flooded lead-acid or lead-calcium batteries. It does not enter equalization when the battery type is set to sealed lead-acid batteries (GEL or AGM) since they will be damaged by this process. Use the correct settings for your battery types.
TC2 Series BattChg Owners Guide.book Page 11 Tuesday, July 1, 2008 11:55 PM Equalizing Flooded Batteries Performing An Equalization CAUTION: Risk of equipment damage Turn off or disconnect all DC loads on the battery during equalization. The voltage applied to the battery during equalization may be above safe levels for some loads but the absolute maximum is 16 V for 12 V chargers and 32 V for 24 V chargers within operational temperature range.
TC2 Series BattChg Owners Guide.book Page 12 Tuesday, July 1, 2008 11:55 PM Operation Important: If equalization is programmed prior to float or rest mode, the Equalize LED will flash and equalization will start prior to reaching float or rest mode. 3. Press and hold for five seconds the Charger Mode Select button and Battery Temp Select button at the same time to put the Truecharge™ 2 Battery Charger into equalization mode.
