The Bulk State charges the battery at an optimal controlled output, shortening the charging time.
When the battery is fully charged, the charger remains in the Float State, monitoring the battery for voltage drops.
If the battery has been in the Float State for 15 days, the IQ will automatically restart a bulk charge to ensure the battery remains fully charged.
IOTA-LIFEPO: 2-Stage Smart Charge Controller for the IOTA DLS to Use With Lithium-Ion Batteries With BMS
The IQ4 LIFEPO is designed to work with today’s cutting-edge LiFePO4 batteries that employ a Battery Management System. The IQ-LIFEPO enables the DLS to deliver the proper voltage to charge the larger 4-cell design of the battery while remaining in a stand-by trickle mode, ready to deliver a fresh BULK charge when required.
The IQ4 LIFEPO Smart Charge Controller connects to your IOTA DLS Battery Charger’s Dual Voltage Jack. When you plug in your IQ module, the IQ Smart Charge circuitry is automatically activated. Your DLS will now provide your batteries with an automatic and trouble-free charging profile!
Note: External IOTA IQ Smart Charge Controllers do not work with DLS units that have internal IQ charge controllers.
The IQ4 progresses through the following stages while charging your batteries:
The Bulk State charges the battery at an optimal controlled output, shortening the charging time.
When the battery is fully charged, the charger remains in the Float State, monitoring the battery for voltage drops.
If the battery has been in the Float State for 15 days, the IQ will automatically restart a bulk charge to ensure the battery remains fully charged.
