Iota > Smart Controller for Gel Batteries
Manufacturer Part Number: IQ4-GEL
Confident Charging for Gel Batteries
The IQ-GEL features an extended BULK stage but with a slightly decreased voltage that is just right for Gel lead-acid batteries. After a period of seven days, the IQ-GEL will initiate the standard Maintenance cycle to ensure the battery remains in peak charged status.
Features
Charging Profile
The IQ-GEL progresses through the following stages while charging your batteries:
-
Absorption (Extended)
The Controlled Absorption State delivers a constant charge for a set period of time to ensure that the battery receives a full and complete charge.
-
Float
Once the battery has been fully charged, the Float State maintains a full charge to the battery, and reduces the chances of "gassing."
-
Maintenance
If the battery has remained in the Float State for 7 days, the IQ automatically reinitiates a bulk charge to ensure the battery remains in a completely charged condition.
Installation
The IQ Smart Charge Controller easily plugs into the Dual Voltage Jack* of your IOTA DLS Battery Charger. Once plugged in, the IQ Smart Charge circuitry is automatically engaged and your IQ module will activate. Your DLS will now provide an automatic and trouble free charging profile to your batteries!
*Location of the Dual Voltage Jack may vary depending on the IOTA DLS Model
Note: External IOTA IQ Smart Charge Controllers are not compatible with DLS with internal IQ charge control.
