Charging Process (3 Stages with BMS Activation)

The LiTime charger employs a smart 3-stage charging process to optimize battery life and performance, including a 0V activation function for deeply discharged batteries.

  1. T1: Tlhōrō ea Pele Stage: If the battery is deeply discharged (e.g., below 18V for a 24V battery), the charger will initiate a pre-charge stage. It charges the battery at a limited current to safely activate it and bring its voltage to a normal level. This stage is crucial for batteries that have entered BMS cut-off protection.
  2. T2: Constant Current Charging Stage: Hang ha betri voltage is within a safe range, the charger delivers a constant 20A current, rapidly charging the battery.
  3. T3: Constant Voltage Ho tjhaja Stage: As the battery approaches full charge, the charger maintains a constant voltage (29.2V) while gradually decreasing the current until the battery is fully charged.

  • Botala bo tiileng: Betri e tlatsitsoe ka botlalo.
  • Botala bo Khanyang: Charger is on standby.
  • Bofubelu bo Benyang: Charger fault or under protection.

0V Activation Function

If your LiFePO4 battery's Battery Management System (BMS) has triggered its cut-off protection due to deep discharge, this charger can activate it. The charger will send a gentle current to safely raise the battery's voltage above the BMS cut-off threshold, allowing it to resume normal charging.

Video: This video demonstrates how to revive a LiFePO4 battery that has stopped working or won't charge, often due to BMS protection. It shows steps like disconnecting devices, letting the battery rest, and using a charger with an activation function. It also explains voltage thresholds for 12V and 24V batteries.

Video: This video explains the internal processes of a LiFePO4 charger during its 3-stage charging cycle: pre-charge, constant current, and constant voltage. It highlights how the charger safely raises voltage, delivers full power, and then steadily reduces current to protect battery cells and ensure full absorption of energy.

Tlhokomelo

  • Ho hloekisa: Keep the charger clean and free from dust and debris. Use a dry, soft cloth for cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners.
  • Polokelo: Store the charger in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area when not in use.
  • Tlhahlobo ea Lithapo: Regularly inspect the AC and DC cables for any signs of damage, fraying, or loose connections. Replace damaged cables immediately.
  • Moea oa moea: Ensure the cooling fan is not obstructed during operation. Periodically check for dust buildup in the fan area.

Charger Won't Start or Battery Won't Charge

If your charger is not initiating a charge or your battery is not responding, consider the following:

  1. Sheba Likhokahano: Ensure all connections (AC power, DC to battery) are secure and correctly polarized.
  2. Battery Voltage: If your 24V battery's voltage is below 18V, its BMS might have activated protection. The LiTime charger has a 0V activation function to revive such batteries. Follow the steps in the "0V Activation Function" section.
  3. Lisebelisoa tsa Kantle: If an inverter or other device is plugged into the battery, it might block the charger's initial "wake-up" pulse.
    • Unplug the inverter from the battery.
    • Let the charger activate the battery.
    • Reconnect the inverter after charging is complete.
  4. Charger Fault: If the LED indicator is flashing red, there might be a charger fault or it's under protection (e.g., over-temperature, short circuit). Disconnect the charger, allow it to cool, and re-attempt connection. If the fault persists, contact customer service.
