Ionic Profile
Also called “ionic mixing”, this type of charging profile consists of sending short pulses of current
to stimulate gas formation in the active material, causing sulfuric acid to be distributed outside
the plates. This system of mixing the electrolyte enables more rapid charging of flooded cell
batteries subject to very high demands and balances out differences in density, homogenizing
the electrolyte across the surface of the plates.
Opportunity Profile
The OPPOR charge profile is used when opportunity charging is desired. It has a start rate of
25% of the batteries rated amp hour capacity, requires one complete recharge in every 24 hours
of service and must have an equalize charge done once a week which is programmed to run
automatically.
Operation:
During opportunity charging the user can plug the battery in and charge it during breaks,
lunch or any work stoppage time. One time per day the battery must receive a full
standard Ionic recharge. The charger real time clock must be adjusted and set for this
switch in charging profile to occur automatically at a predetermined time. Sufficient time
should be scheduled after the full charge to allow the battery to completely cool to ambient
temperatures before use.
Note: The user must configure the charger for the time of day that the full recharge is to
take place, they must also configure the day of the week that the equalize charge will take
place.
Refresh Charging
Refresh or maintenance charging enables the battery to be maintained at maximum charge all
the time that it is connected to the charger. Refresh charge is applied at a predetermined
intervals after charge is complete and battery remains connected to charger.
