8. CHARGE PROFILE
Charge Profile Instructions:
Changing the Charge Profile on the Enerdrive ePOWER Industrial Charger
The ePOWER Industrial charger has the ability to be programmed with a charge profile (algorithm) to suit any battery. The default charge profile that comes installed on the charger is b02. This charge profile is suited for Trojan T105 batteries. You can change the charge profile installed on the charger at any time via the USB port on the front of the charger.
NOTE: You will require a formatted (FAT32) USB memory stick with a capacity of 1024KB or larger.
Please carefully follow the steps below to change the charge profile: -
1. Download and save the Battery Algorithm Listing from the download link www.enerdrive. com.au/Algorithm/ePOWER-algorithm.xlsx
2. Select a charge profile that matches the batteries you are using from the "Charge Profile Listing" tab in this spreadsheet.
3. Right click on the selected Charge Profile in the "Charge Profile" column and click "Copy".
4. Now "Paste" the copied charge profile to your formatted USB memory stick.
5. Make sure the charger is NOT connected to the battery or AC power.
6. Unscrew the round cap covering the USB port on the front of the charger and insert the USB memory stick.
7. Plug the AC power cord into the charger and switch ON AC power.
8. Please allow up to 1 min for programming. Programming is complete once USB status LED is "SOLID".
9. Switch OFF AC power to the charger.
10.Remove USB memory stick and screw USB cap back on.
11. Switch ON AC power to the charger and check the charge profile you selected has been installed. The charger will display the installed charge profile as a series of flashes of the Battery Capacity LED's. See user manual for explanation.
12. Switch OFF AC power to the charger.
13.Connect the charger to the DC battery.
14.Switch ON the AC power to the charger to begin charging with the installed charge profile.
The ePOWER Industrial charger can also be programmed with a custom (user defined) charge profile for batteries that are not listed. If you cannot find a suitable charge profile for your batteries please contact Enerdrive.
PLEASE NOTE: ALL relevant battery charging specifications MUST be supplied in order for us to be able to create a custom charge profile for you. See following page for the Charge Profile Table.
