Here it is, the RBbatteries CDC system! This system is the ultimate battery charger / discharger / cycler. The touchscreen allows you the flexibility to tailor the charging and
discharging characteristics to your needs. This system will balance the cells in your battery pack and be a critical maintenance tool to keep your battery in good health. Includes
everything you need: the box itself, vehicle installed harness, IMA fan attachment clips, power cord, instructions and IMA fan controller board for certain versions. To avoid paying for a
rebuilt or a brand new IMA battery, which can cost thousands of dollars, pick up this system and continue frown free driving!
General Features:
- Compact design, all included in a small box.
- Results page provides a summary of all highest and lowest voltages seen during a session.
- US Power cable included (EU type F, UK type G available)
- 110-230V AC 50/60Hz input compatible
Charging Features:
- Charges at a constant ~270mA rate.
- User adjustable charged time plateau. This starts a timer each time the highest voltage is measured.
- You can change the timer length from 1 hour to 12 hours, in 1 hour increments. The higher this setting, the fuller the charge.
- Countdown timer shows you the amount of time left for the charge session.
Discharging Features:
- Discharges at a 180Ω or 360Ω rate (example: 150V/180Ω=833mA).
- Adjustable switch point for the half charge rate to enable.
- No external light bulbs, uses internal resistors. Keeps the system very compact and robust.
- User adjustable depth of discharge down to 15V in 5V increments (cut-off voltage).
Cycling Features:
- Same features as charging / discharging.
- Allows up to 5 charge / discharge cycles.
- Each discharge cycle has an adjustable depth of discharge, cut-off voltage (example: Cycle 1 = 120V, Cycle 2 = 90V, Cycle 3 = 60V, etc).
Error Checking:
- Several parameters are checked during the sessions to make sure your system is safe.
- The IMA cooling fan is checked for operation (can be disabled for pack work outside of vehicle).
- The correct voltage ranges for the battery are checked.
- Correct current (amps) to protect against shorts.
- Discharge overheat protection.
