What time is needed to switch from charging mode to discharging mode?
Max. 200ms.
Can I trickle charge the battery?
No, lithium ion has to be charged in a “constant current, constant voltage” method (CC/CV) and done
so cyclically. The battery does not support trickle charging.
Charge rate: What are impacts of 0.7C or higher on Cycle life?
Easy Blade – cycle life will be significantly reduced and we would not recommend this product for
daily fast-charge use case. Use of 1C charge rate for every cycle will reduce cycle life by 75%.
Easy Block – will not be adversely affected. 1C charge rate will have minor impact on total cycle life,
full 4,000 cycles are achievable.
What is recommended for ‘Fast Charge’ and what is recommended for ‘Cycle Life’?
Easy Blade – to achieve cycle life of 1,200 cycles and beyond, the max charge current recommended
is 0.5C, discharge current of 0.5C. High charge rates will have a significant negative effect on cycle
life.
Easy Block – Max charge current allowed is 1C and it will have minimal impact on lifetime, due to the
different cell technology.
In general, to extend cycle life, we would recommend reduction in max charge voltage and average
state of charge over lifetime. These will have the biggest impact to maximize cycle life.
13.2 CAN-Communication
What is the PIN configuration?
1.
What is the baud rate of the CAN bus and can it be configured to other values?
250kbit/s fixed baud rate which cannot be configured.
