Wi-Fi Capability
The LP Performance Series Chargers come standard with an
integrated Wi-Fi module to be utilized with a variety of features and
functions released in upcoming software revisions. The integrated
Wi-Fi module will also be used for future battery compatibility, so
new batteries may be used on the LP Performance Series Chargers
as they are released.
Mini USB Port
Located at the back, this port is used to upgrade the firmware of the
LP Performance Series Chargers. For information, please contact
the Elora Customer Support Group.
AC Mains Power
The AC Mains power connector is located on the rear of the charger.

Self-Test
Upon applying AC mains power, the charger will initiate a brief
self-test mode. Self-test mode is complete when the charger LED
indicates battery information on the position being used.
Charging
As with all Elora chargers, charging with a LP Performance
Series Charger is fully automatic. Mount any applicable battery to
any open position on the charger and the LP Performance Series
Charger will automatically determine the appropriate charge routine
and execute it. The LP Performance Charger automatically detects
which battery has the strongest charge and prioritizes it, ensuring
that a fully charged battery is always available in the shortest
amount of time possible. Software constantly monitors the charging
process and discharge curves to ensure that each battery is charged
to its peak performance
In some cases a battery may be discharged to a very low
voltage level causing the battery to be unrecognizable to the
charger when first attached.

Three Stage Charging Methodology
In general, the LP Performance Series Chargers (Gold Mount and
V-Mount) will deliver a three stage charge routine to each battery.
Stage One will deliver a high rate charge matched to the
capabilities of the battery (typically a one or two hour rate,
depending on battery type). During this stage, six separate cutoff
methods are in operation, simultaneously, ensuring the fastest,
safest charge for that battery.
Stage Two charging is a BALANCING or “stabilizing” mode
which calculates each battery pack type to offset any imbalance
of the battery’s cells, created by unequal self-discharge or any
capacity mismatch of the individual cells in the pack. 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 reduces
current automatically as the battery charges maintaining the cells
at a safe voltage level. A battery will typically leave Stage Two in
2-4 hours under average operating conditions.
Stage Three charging is the Elora exclusive Lifesaver®
maintenance mode. This patented pulse routine keeps batteries
fully charged, free from self-discharge - indefinitely - without
damaging heat associated with a so-called “trickle charge”. The
Stage Three programming monitors the self-discharge of the
battery, providing charge only when the battery self-discharges to
about 95% of its capacity.
Elora recommends that batteries remain on the
charger and plugged into AC mains power for best results.
The Lifesaver mode will keep them 100% charged.
