Starter Battery Charging Procedure - Calira EVS 38/20-DS/IU Mode D'emploi

' & "
charging current is only released once the battery is correctly connected and a
minimum voltage of 1.5 volt is applied. During the charging process, the
battery voltage is constantly being monitored through the measuring cable B+.
The charging process follows the charging characteristic curve, with minimal
energy loss (for the charging characteristic curve, Fig. 5).
Main charging phase
(all voltage values with respect to a battery temperature of 20 °C)
Charging with maximum constant charging current until the battery reaches
14.4 volt. If the charging current drops below 90 % of the rated current during
this phase due to the internal resistance of the battery and cable resistance, the
post charging phase is started.
Post charging phase
(all voltage values with respect to a battery temperature of 20 °C)
The charging voltage is kept constant at 14.4 volt for ten or four hours for gel
batteries and liquid electrolyte batteries, respectively. After this time, the
device switches to the charge phase. If during this phase the current rises above
90 % of the rated current while the battery voltage drops below 13.2 volt for a
period of 15 minutes for liquid electrolyte batteries, or for more than two hours
for gel batteries, then the device switches back to the main charging phase.
Holding charge phase
(all voltage values with respect to a battery temperature of 20 °C)
The charging voltage is set to 13.8 volt. At the same time, the charging current
drops to the value necessary for the equalising charge of the battery. If the
charging current rises to its rated value due to a user and the battery voltage
remains below 13.2 volt for at least two minutes, then the device switches back
to the main charging phase.
Parallel operation
If during the post charging or holding charge phase, current is consumed, it is
recharged immediately.
Starter battery charging procedure (battery I)
Parallel circuit
Driving operation
During driving operation, the starter battery (battery I) is charged by the
generator of the vehicle. As long as the generator is running and there is a
voltage on the input D+ (contact 18) of the power supply, the supply battery
and the starter battery are in parallel operation. The supply battery is also
charged by the generator. If there is no voltage at the D+ input of the power
supply, the parallel connection is turned off if the voltage falls below 13.2 volt.
