Abnormal Shutdowns:
High Battery Reject- Initial battery voltage higher than expected
per the charger’s capabilities or cell count setting. The charge
indicator will turn red and screen will display “High Battery voltage
detected unable to Charge”
Battery Overtemperature- Battery has exceeded the max tem-
perature setting and is cooling down. The charge indicator will
show solid Red and screen will display “Battery Over Temperature
Detected Cooling Down”. Once the battery cools down, charging
will continue.
Low Voltage Shutdown- This shutdown will occur if cell volt-
age does not rise above the following levels in the indicated time
frame: On screen message: “Charge Curve Error Minimum Charge
Slope Not Met”
Charge Curve Voltage Error- On screen message text: “Charge
Curve Error Unable to Reach Tar-get CV”. This is to indicate to the
user that the charger cannot charge the battery properly due to
battery problems, charger problems or mis-matched equipment.
Low Current Shutdown- Predetermined level is below 2 amps
for greater than 30 seconds. On screen message: “Charge Curve
Error Low Current”
High Current Shutdown- Charger output current is higher than
expected. This error is triggered when output is 5 amps above the
desired out-put for longer than 30 seconds and the charge con-
troller is unable to compensate for it. The charge indicator is solid
red. On screen message: “Charge Curve Error Over Current”.
Manual Stop- On screen message: “Manual Stop”. This should
only be present if the Manual Stop button has been pressed while
the charger is running.
Backup Timer- Charger recognizes that the battery is not
charging properly due to a lack of increased voltage as the charge
occurs. On screen message: “Charge Session Timeout”.
Over Max AH Returned- Without a BID this will trip at 125% of
total battery amp hour. 150% with a BID. For an equalize charge,
it is 150% without a bid and 175% with a BID. On screen mes-
sage: “Charge Error Over AH Returned”
Charger Overtemperature Shutdown- Charger cabinet tem-
perature high, charging stopped. The charge indicator is solid
red, on-screen message: “Charger Over Temperature Error”
Charge Curve Error DiDt- Indicates an increase in current over
time. Current should decrease when it hits gassing voltage. On
screen message “Charge Curve Error DI/DT”
Charge Engine Error- All power modules are offline, unable to
charge. The charge indicator is solid red, on screen message:
“Charge Engine Error”
BID Battery Reject- Battery type described by BID/ WBID device
is not compatible with this charger. The charge indicator is solid
red, on screen message reads: “BID Battery Reject”
Voltage Charge Time (Minutes)
> 1.7VPC 30
>1.8VPC 60
>1.9VPC 90
