PowerLab

8

Charge Control Software

(CCS, a free download) allows you to

customize, save and load presets (including data displays), and view real-time
charging data and graphs. CCS also manages firmware updates to keep PowerLab 8
operating smoothly, and to keep you up-to-date with latest features and
enhancements.

Parallel charging

takes

advantage of the PowerLab 8’s high power output. After

connecting packs using Safe Parallel Adapters, simply tell PowerLab 8 how many
packs are attached—charge/discharge rates are automatically divided among the
packs.

Smart Power Management

, once configured, prevents damage to your power

supply

or storage battery.

Operates from any 12–24V DC power source. Inputs and outputs are protected

against reverse polarity.

Expansion Channel Mode

enables

multiple PowerLab 8 units to be inter-connected,

for

highly efficient charging of multiple packs of the same chemistry. The primary

PowerLab 8 communicates with the enhancement units, sends selected preset
configurations over the network, and controls all aspects of charging and balancing for
the expansion units.
