59. BATTERY CHARGE AMP HOURS  
The accumulated amp hours charged into the     
battery.  An Amp Hour Accumulator and BID module 
assembly must be installed on the battery to use 
this function.  The Amp Hour Accumulator continu-
ally records this data while it is installed on the bat-
tery.   
 
The data is automatically read from the bid when 
the control terminates each charge cycle, except for   
Manual Stop.  The data is stamped with the date 
and  BID number.  
 
Read the data ―on demand‖ by pressing the ―Stop‖ 
key.  *  
 
Press and hold the ―Equalize‖ button for 10 seconds 
to reset all data. * 
 
60. BATTERY DISCHARGE AMP HOURS  
The accumulated amp hours discharged from the 
battery.  An Amp Hour Accumulator and BID module  
assembly must be installed on the battery to use 
this function. The Amp Hour Accumulator / BID  
continually records this data while it is installed on 
the battery. 
 
The data is automatically read from the bid when 
the control terminates each charge cycle, except for  
Manual Stop. The data is stamped with the date and  
BID number.  
 
Read the data ―on demand‖ by pressing the ―Stop‖  
key.  *  
 
Press and hold the ―Equalize‖ button for 10 seconds 
to reset all data. * 
 
61. LONG TERM AVERAGE BATTERY  
TEMPERATURE  
The average BID temperature of the battery. An 
Amp Hour Accumulator and BID module assembly 
must be installed on the battery to use this function.  
The BID continually updates the average while it is 
installed on the battery.    
 
The data is automatically read from the bid when 
the Control terminates each charge cycle, except for  
Manual Stop. The data is stamped with the date and 
BID number.  
 
Read the data ―on demand‖ by pressing the ―Stop‖  
key.  *  
 
Press and hold the ―Equalize‖ button for 10 seconds 
to reset all data. * 
 
 *The control must be in Manual Stop mode.     
 Note that all data is read in, Charge AH, dis-
charge AH and average temperature when read-
ing in the “on demand” mode.  
 
 
62. BATTERY CYCLES  
The number of battery discharge cycles, based on  
the total discharge amp hours and 80% of the BID 
amp hour setting.  An Amp Hour Accumulator and 
BID module assembly must be installed on the   
battery to use this function.  The Control continually 
updates this calculation using the total accumulated 
discharge amp hours read in from the BID.   NOT 
PROGRAMMABLE 
 
63. CHARGE/DISCHARGE RATIO  
The ratio of the total charge amp hours over the 
total discharge amp hours.  An Amp Hour Accumu-
lator and BID module assembly must be installed on 
the battery to use this function.  The control continu-
ally updates this calculation using the total accumu-
lated charge and discharge amp hours read in from 
the BID.    NOT PROGRAMMABLE 
 
64. Display Contrast Adjust 
When mounted in its permanent position the 
charger display should be clear and visible as possi-
ble.  If it is not, try adjusting the display contrast with 
this function.  Using the ―Enter‖ key to get into pro-
gramming mode, use the up and down arrows to 
make the contrast adjustment.  Depending on condi-
tions, it may take 20 or more presses of the either 
arrow key to make a visible change. 
 
65. FIXED START AMPS  
Programs the charger start rate at the programmed 
charger AH setting to the selected amps/100AH.  
For example, to charge an 800AH battery at 320 
amps, the ―battery start amps‖ would be pro-
grammed 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 current rating. 
 
 Factory Setting = 25 
 
Not Available on the Standard Eclipse II Charger 
 
66. MAX CELL SIZE 
Programs the Max Cell Size available on 40 cell  
chargers in the multi-cell mode. The charger cannot 
automatically recognize the difference between  
40 and 36 cell sizes and therefore the Max Cell Size  
in that mode must be programmed to 36 or 40 cells.   
Regardless of this setting 36 or 40 cell batteries with 
properly programmed Prestolite BID modules will  
correctly be charged. 
 
 36 = 36 Cells 
 40 = 40 Cells 
 
Use the up or down arrow to select the proper  
setting.
