BID Programming
The following conditions must be met before a
Prestolite BID can be programmed or repro-
grammed with this charger.
a. A battery with the correct cell size BID must be
connected to the charger.
b. The charger must be in the Manual Stop condi-
tion
c. The control must be set to the programming menu
and functions 51 thru 54 must be selected.
After the above conditions are met the BID can be
properly programmed.
After a number entry is keyed in, the control will
immediately attempt to program it in the BID while
displaying ―WRITING BID‖. If the entered number is
out of range or is not accepted by the BID, the
control will return to the original prompt with all 0's
displayed for the entered data. If the BID properly
accepts the data, the programmed number will be
returned to the display.
51. BID CELLS
Programs the Cell Size into the BID. Once
programmed the charger will recognize the battery
upon connection, bypass the battery cell size verify
function, and charge to the programmed BID cell
size.
06 = 6 Cells
09 = 9 Cells
12 = 12 Cells
18 = 18 Cells
24 = 24 Cells
36 = 36 Cells
40 = 40 Cells
52. BID NUMBER
Programs the battery identification number into the
BID. (000 to 999)
53. BID AMP HOURS
Programs the battery ampere hour rating into the
BID. Once programmed the charger will recognize
the battery upon connection and charge the battery
at the proper charge rates or the max charger
output, whichever is greater. (0000 to 9999
54.
BID BATTERY TYPE
Programs the battery type into the BID. Once pro-
grammed, the charger will recognize the battery
type upon connection, and charge the battery with
the proper curve.
0 = Flooded Curve
1 = Custom Curve
2 = Sealed Lead Acid Curve
3 = Sealed Lead Recombinant Curve Absorbed
Glass Mat (AGM) Types
4 = Sealed Lead Acid Curve (―DEKA‖ and Other
Gel Types)
5 = Sealed Lead Acid Curve
6 = Sealed Lead Acid Curve
7 = Sealed Lead Acid Curve
55. PASSWORD
OFF = Factory Setting
On = Password Enabled
Use the up or down arrow to select the proper
setting.
56. NO GASSING HOURS
The number of Hours before the charger can begin
the gassing portion of the charging cycle. (0 – 8
hours)
Factory setting = 00 hours
Use the up or down arrow to select the proper
setting.
57. MAX BATT TEMP
The maximum battery temperature for charging to
proceed. (For use with BID only)
(080 to 150 degrees F)
Factory setting = 150
58. BID START AMPS
Programs the charger start rate at the programmed
BID AH rating to the selected amps/100AH. For
example, to charge an 800AH battery at 320 amps,
the ―BID Start Amps‖ would be programmed to
40A/100AH. Please note that if the programmed
rate exceeds the maximum rated charger amps, the
charger output will be limited to the maximum cur-
rent rating
