2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Power Peak® Triple 360 W EQ-BID is an intelligent battery charger with convenient
battery management for charging and discharging NC, NiMH, lead and lithium recharge-
able battery packs.
Additionally, it features a built-in equalizer.
The Power Peak® Triple 360 W EQ-BID is used to charge or discharge 1 to 14 cell NC or
NiMH battery packs both in automatic mode with automatic current adjustment as well as
in manual mode. The Delta-Peak method is used to switch off the device when the battery
is fully charged.
Likewise, up to 6-series connected lithium cells can be charged with a maximum current
of up to 10 amps. The Cut-Off is made automatically when the battery reaches its fully-
charged voltage. It is also possible to automatically charge lead batteries from 2 to 12 Volt.
10 internal storage locations allow you to store battery-specific data for
charging and discharging up to ten different batteries in manual mode.
An important feature of the charger is the trend-setting battery Identification
System (BID). As the variety of different batteries is becoming ever more
diverse, each type of battery requires its "own individual" charging process.
It is easy to set up the charger incorrectly for a specific type of battery, resul-
ting in costly damage to the battery.
The revolutionary BID-System from Multiplex offers a brilliant solution for this problem.
Each battery will be fitted with a small, light BID chip/key. This
stores all the relevant data to charge and discharge the bat-
tery to the optimum. The BID chip assigned to the battery
connects to the Power Peak® Triple 360 W EQ-BID and
transfers the parameters to the charger.
Simply press the ‘Start’ button, and the charge or discharge
process begins. No tiresome searching through menus for the set-up parameters, maxi-
mum protection from mishandling, and storing of the
relevant battery data in the BID chip - those are the
unique advantages of the BID system.
By storing the most important data in the BID chip/
key, all the data required for safe, optimum charging
and discharging is always “on board” the battery,
which can be easily displayed on the charger itself.
This function essentially means that PC software
and computer technology are not required in order to
obtain an up-to-date overview of the battery status.
