Introduction
The BLUESHAPE series of intelligent lithium ion battery chargers
has been specifically designed for fast and reliable charging of the
BLUESHAPE V-lock battery range. All charger models are capable
of delivering up to 4.9Amps in constant current mode making them
particularly suitable to users who require a fast turnaround from their
batteries. For the users’ convenience, the external dimensions have
been kept as compact as possible for better portability.
Properties of the CVS8X
-
Elegant and robust design. Ideal for indoor use
- Sophisticated electronics for accurately detecting the charging
state
- Simultaneous battery charging, up to 8 channels through the
external battery adapters.
- Charging power optimisation for maximum charging
performance
- Colour LCD display and three-colour LED indicators for
effective and comprehensive individual charge-station
monitoring
- Pre-charge function for protecting heavily discharged cells
against high currents until their voltages rise to a safe level.
- Maximum compactness and space utilisation
- IPCS and CTP Features (see next pages)
- Powerful auxiliary output at 13.8V / 110W through 4-pole XLR
Battery charging and performance features
The electronic circuitry provides a very accurate lithium ion charge
algorithm. Initially, the chargers will only apply a pre-charge current
of a few milli-amperes to batteries that are heavily discharged. This
same current enables the charger to detect the current battery state.
Once the cells inside the batteries reach a safe level, the full
(maximum) charging current is delivered until the battery reaches
almost 80% state of charge. After this, a constant voltage phase
begins with the charging current decaying slowly until full cut-off.
