INTRODUCTION
KEY FEATURES & BENEFITS
STANDARD FEATURES
Simultaneous Charging for all ELORA batteries
300W Output
Full InterActive®technology (including I-Min),which
makes 3 simultaneous charge termination systems,
rejuvenation modes, and LifeSaver®maintenance mode.
UV LED to aid in disinfection control duringthe charging
process
LED “ready” Indicator Lighting
LED INDICATOR LIGHTS
TheEloraBattery Charging Cabinet contains a series of
LED indicators that inform the user of the current status of
each battery.
UV LED
When a battery is rst placed ontoa station and the door
is closed, theUV LED will begin the disinfection cycle to
aid in keepingthe battery germ and bacteria free. This is
indicated via the violet LEDs that will illuminate the charging
station. If thecabinet door is opened during disinfection
the cycle will be suspended while the door is open
and will recommenceonce the door has been closed.
Once thebatteryhas completed the disinfection cycle the
LEDs inside the cabinet will indicate the current state of
the battery.
BLUE LED
An illuminated blue LED indicates that the battery has
been completelycharged and is ready for use.
GREEN LED
An illuminated green LEDindicates that the battery has
been completelycharged, is readyfor use and has the
highest capacity (run-time). This is the battery that should
be removed rst. Only one battery will indicate green at
a given time. Once this battery has been removed the
next fully charged battery(if available) will illuminate green
indicatingthat it is ready for use and has the highest
capacity (run-time). This assures that not only willthe
battery with thehighest capacity be used but alsoensures
that only batteries that have been fully charged will be
put intoworkow, ensuring that the workow will not be
interrupted prematurely.
TheEloraBattery Charging Cabinet is a wall mountable charger capable of charging 3 batteries
in parallel. The cabinet can be mounted ush to the wall or recessed for a more aesthetic appeal.
Like all Elora chargers, everything is automatic. Once a battery is placed onto one of the
stations the charger will read thebattery’s current state of charge and will then automaticallygo
into one of theapplicable Three Stage Charging modes. At the same time the chargerwill begin
a disinfection sequence via its UV LEDs that will aid in keeping the battery germ and bacteria
free.
When theuser is prepared to remove a battery from the Elora Charging Cabinet, a green LED will
illuminatethebattery that should be used next. This feature ensures that all batteries throughout
the eet are used equallyto ensure maximum battery life.

GROUNDING / EARTHING
IMPORTANT WARNING: THIS APPARATUS MUSTBE
EARTHED
To ensure safe operation, the three pin plug supplied must
be inserted only intoa standard three-pin power point that
is effectively grounded through normal household wiring.
Extension cords used with the equipment must be three-
conductor and be correctly wired to provide connection
to earth ground. Improperly wired extension cords are a
dangerous electricalhazard.
Thefact that the equipment operates satisfactorily does
not imply that the power point is properly grounded and
that the installation is completely safe. If any doubt exists
about thecorrect grounding of the power point, consult a
qualied electrician.
SPECIFICATIONS
IMPORTANT: The wires in this main lead are colored in
accordance with the following code:

THREE STAGE CHARGING METHODOLOGY
In general, the EloraBattery Charging Cabinet will deliver
a Three Stage charge routine toeach battery.
1. Stage One will deliver a high rate charge matched to
the capabilities of the battery. During this stage, six sep-
arate cutoff methods are in operation, simultaneously,
ensuring the fastest, safest chargefor that battery:
CCO - This method requires theidentication of the
particular battery size (capacity) and chemistry, an
exclusive Elora feature. The charger determines
the maximum charge time for theparticular battery and
uses this information to ensure that overcharge condi-
tions are avoided.
STAGE ONE will deliver a charge matched to the capa-
bilities of the battery. During this stage, seven separate
cutoff methods are in operation, simultaneously, ensur-
ingthe fastest, safest charge for that battery:
TCO - Temperature cutoff which stops the Stage one
charge precisely when a temperature indicative of full
charge is reached;
Dt/dT - A microprocessor based algorithm which mea-
sures a rise in temperature over a specic time, very
accurately indicating full charge. This method is also the
recommended method for charging Ni-MH technology;
charging by identifying a characteristic “reverse slope”
of a Ni-Cd cell. Since this characteristic can be dis-
guised by the age, temperature and the number of the
cells in abattery, it can never be employed alone;
CCO - This method requires theidentication of the
particular battery size (capacity) and chemistry, an
exclusiveElora Logic Series ®feature. Thecharger
determines the maximumcharge time for the particular
battery and uses this information to ensure that over-
charge conditions are avoided.
FUL - This determination is made when a fullycharged
DIGITAL battery is returned to acharger within specied
parameters of time, temperature, and battery voltage.
The DIGITAL battery communicates its fully charged
condition and the charger conrms the parameters and
immediately indicates a fully charged condition, without
additional verication.
TEMPERATURE COMPENSATED VCO–For HyTRON™
series of batteries.Similar toa VCO, however, only
operates within certain temperature parameters;
I-Min – for Dionic®batteries, a seventh cutoff method
is employed. The battery is charged tospecic voltage
and I-Min current until fullcharge is reached. I-Min
is the “minimum current” ow required for proper cutoff
2. Stage Two charging is a “balancing” or “stabilizing”
mode which calculates each battery pack type to offset
any imbalanceof the battery’s cells, created by unequal
self-discharge or any capacity mismatch of the indi-
vidual cells in thepack. This stage can vary in duration
from zero to as much as 16 hours,depending on the
condition of the battery. The Stage Two charge for Elora
Series batteries reduces current automatically as the
battery charges maintaining the Lithium-ion cells at a
safe voltagelevel.
3. Stage Three charging is the Elora exclusive
Lifesaver
®maintenancemode. This patented pulse
routine keeps batteries fully charged, free from self-
discharge - indenitely – without damaging heat associ-
ated with a so-called “trickle charge”. The Stage Three
programming for Elora monitors the self-discharge of
the battery, providing charge only when the battery
self-discharges toabout 95% of its capacity.
4. NOTE: Batteries maybe kept on a charger until ready for
use. The Lifesaver mode will keep them 100% charged.
NOTE: Elora recommends that each battery have
a charge position, for when the battery is not in use.
A batterycan remain on an Elora charger indenitely.
