FUNCTIONING
Green LED: it slowly winks during the Charge Cycles (Soft & Bulk), it quickly winks during the Desulfation Cycle, it’s fixedly on during the Maintenance Cycle.
Red LED: it’s fixedly on if the 220V Input Power is missing, it slowly winks if the Battery isn’t connected or the overcharging protection is on, it quickly winks in case of polarity inversion or short circuit.
LED Bar Voltmeter: according to how many LEDs are on, it shows the percentage of charge of the battery in real time (50%, 65%, 80%, 100%).

CHARGING TECHNOLOGY
BC SMART 1500 is managed by a latest-generation microprocessor, which is in charge of monitoring the battery parameters in real time and to execute a new multi-cycle charging algorithm:
1. Initialization: the device checks if one or more cells are shorted, in order to verify that the battery is in a proper condition to be recharged/recovered.
2. Recovery: if the battery is deep discharged (battery voltage starting from 1.5 V), the device tries to recover it, taking it back to a higher voltage.
3. Soft Charge: if the battery is in a condition of significant undercharge, the device provides a light pulsing current to the battery, to overcome this critical phase.
4. Bulk Charge: the device provides full current to the battery, recovering about 85-90% of the battery capacity.
5. Desulfation / Absorption: the device provides a "controlled overcharge" to recover the remaining 10-15% of the battery capacity, through the desulfation/recovery the lead-acid cells (for low or
medium sulfation).
6. Battery Analysis - End Cycle Test: the device stops providing current to the battery for a short time, in order to verify whether the battery is able to retain the charge received. This test is periodically repeated during the Maintenance.
7. Maintenance: the device keeps the battery in the best charge conditions for very long periods (even months) during which your vehicle is left unused, without any possible drawback (battery overcharge, battery overheating, water and/or electrolyte loss, etc).
8. Equalization: every 30 days during long term maintenance, the device executes an equalization
charge in order to balance the battery lead-acid cells, avoiding electrolyte stratification within the cells.
SAFETY AND PROTECTIONS
BC SMART 1500 features a series of 8 protections and active guard mechanisms that make it easy to install and to use, without any risks even for users without expertise:
No interferences the vehicle's on board electronics (control unit, ABS, GPS...)
Protection from output lines short circuit, even for an indefinite time: no sparks!
Protection from battery polarity inversion
Protection from battery overcharge/overheating
Thermal protection from overtemperature
No need to disconnect the battery from your vehicle
Very few gas development during the charge: no need to remove the battery plugs
Laboratory Tests ensure the manufacturing of products in conformity to the regulations in force on safety and electro-magnetic compatibility. Norms and Regulations: EN55014-1, EN55014-2, EN60335-1, EN60335-2-29, EN61000-3-2, EN61000-3-3.
