| Discharge Limits – (Voltage & Current) | Battery | Protection | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Continuous Discharge current | 270A | 1C continuous | |
| Surge Discharge Current – 30 seconds | 800A | 3C transient. Typically repeated for every lift or peak load. | |
| Electronic Current trip limit – analogue | 1000A | If the electronic current limit option is enabled – Note 1* | |
| Electronic trip Retry time – analogue | – | Time taken after current trip to retry connection | |
| Pre-Charge current limit – Note 1* | 1000A | Automatically provided if electronic current limit is enabled | |
| Electronic Overload – Digital | Optional with either, I²t , max current, or Custom profiles | ||
| Internal Battery Fuse | 400A | I²t = 610 000 A | |
| Minimum battery voltage | 23.6V | Battery will cutout here, regardless of indicated SOC | |
| ABSOLUTE Minimum Battery Voltage | 21.7V | Internal electronics Disabled! Please see battery protection. | |
| Note 1*. Electronic current limit is optional and adjustable between 500-1000A. It will act as a automatic pre-charge for connection to inverters. For motive applications, in particular old lead machines, pre-charge or current limit prevents startup, and not desirable. | |||
| Charge Limits – (and charger settings) | ||
|---|---|---|
| Maximum Continuous Charging Current | 200A | Preferred range is 130A to 200A, set for constant current CC. |
| End of Charge voltage | 28V | 27.8V to 28.0V max set as endpoint CV voltage |
| Balancing charge voltage or current | 28V | 28.0V-28.2V OR charge at constant current (CC) of 400mA |
| Charger voltage range | 24V | Charger voltage must be within normal 24V limits. |
| Battery maximum voltage self cut out | 28.2V | Battery will cutout, preventing further charging, NOTE 3*. |
| Peak transient charger voltage | 75V | *Peak transient voltage after battery self disconnects |
| Charger Lead Inductive Energy | 75J | NOTE 4*. However, Typical 2m length lead installations are of no concern. |
| NOTE 3*. If battery self cuts out from over voltage it will still be available for discharge through reverse diode.
NOTE 4*. This is the maximum charger lead Inductive energy battery cutout can absorb ( 1/2 I²L < 75J ). |

| Protection | Individual Cell | Battery Level |
|---|---|---|
| Over Voltage | Digital | Analogue and Secondary Digital cutout |
| Over Discharge | Digital | Digital SOC and Digital under voltage |
| Deep Over Discharge | Analogue cut out of internal electronics to prevent further discharge. NOTE 1*. | |
| Over temperature | Digital | Digital and Secondary Analogue |
| Under temperature | Digital | Digital |
| Charge rate | Digital | Digital |
| Short circuit 1* | Optional* – Analogue electronic protection, 40ns response time, with automatic hiccup retry. | |
| Short circuit 2 | Fuse is always installed on all batteries. | |
| NOTE 1*. When the internal electronics are disabled, the battery enters a dormant state. In this state the battery will be inactive, not connected and not available for normal recharge or use. It can be recharged but it MUST be recharged with a constant current that must not exceed 500mA (450mA preferred) and voltage less than 65V (e.g. Balancell hockey PUK charger). If left for more than 6 months in this dormant state, then it should NOT be recharged and battery needs to be returned for a service and cell checkup. | ||
