DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION
General
The LIFEPLUS MOD3 series of chargers are compatible with batteries at 24, 36, 48 volts or
72, 80 volts, depending on model.
The LIFEPLUS MOD3 chargers are microprocessor-controlled. The processor calculates the
battery’s capacity so that the charging profile can be automatically adapted to the battery’s actual
state over a wide range of capacities. The charging coefficient is maintained absolutely on all
types of batteries. LIFEPLUS MOD3 chargers adapt to the battery’s capacity and its discharge
level.
LIFEPLUS MOD3 chargers can easily be set to charge flooded batteries used in cold or freezer
storage applications, ionic or opportunityprofiles. This batterycharger is also designed to charge
flooded and sealed lead-acid storage batteries within the range of the cell and amp-hour rating
as marked on the nameplate.
Auto Start Charge
When a battery is connected to the charger, the control board senses the voltage and after a 20
second delay, the charger starts charging the battery automatically.
Charging Current
Charging current is determined by the charger based on battery voltage and its state of charge.
Charging current declines automatically as battery voltage rises during the charge. As the battery
charges, the graphical LCD display will output various charge parameters including the charging
current.
AC Power Fail
If the AC power fails with a battery connected to the charger during a charge cycle, the charger
will reset and start a new charge cycle when power is restored. All charger settings as well as
the time and date are preserved.
Series Charging
In series charging, the voltages of both batteries add up and must match charger’s nameplate
rating. The charger’s amp-hour rating must be equal to each of the batteries’ amp-hour rating.
Charge cycle will not start unless both batteries are connected.

GLOSSARY
Battery Boss WC (BBWC™)
This is a compact wireless electronic device that is installed on the battery to provide real-time
battery diagnostics. The device monitors the battery parameters such as capacity,
temperature, voltage and state of charge, allowing the user to maximize battery performance
and life.
Block Out Time
This function prevents the charger from charging the battery during the block out time window.
If a charge cycle has started before the block out window it is inhibited during the block out
window and will automatically restart the charge cycle at the end of the block out window.
Charging Profile
The charging profile defines the rate of current charge over time. The charger adapts to the
battery’s condition and level of discharge.
Thin Plate Pure Lead (TPPL)
This is an advanced lead acid battery design used in FLEX batteries. TPPL technology provides
longer service life, higher power density, longer shelf life and fast recharge capabilities.
Flex Bloc Profile
This charging profile allows charging of Flex bloc batteries at rates up to 0.7C.
Flex Standard Profile
This charging profile allows charging of FLEX 2v cell batteries at rates up to 0.25C.
Flex Fast Profile
This charging profile allows charging of FLEX 2v cell batteries at rates up to 0.4C.
Cold Storage
This is a charging profile that allows the configuration of the chargerfor use with batteries in cold
storage application. The profile is an IEI (constant current, constant voltage, constant current)
type with a number of user configurable parameters.
Equalization Charging
Equalization charging is performed after normal charging. It balances the electrolyte densities in
the battery’s cells.
Gel Profile
This charging profile is designed to charge Valve Regulated Lead-Acid (VRLA) or Gel batteries.
Float Charge
A float charge at the end of standard charge is intended to compensate for consumption by the
truck electronics that are left on when truck is not being operated.

LIFEPLUS MOD3
Owner’s Manual
AM-HLPM3-OM
Rev AB September 2019
11
Ionic Profile
Also called “ionic mixing”, this type of charging profile consists of sending short pulses of current
to stimulate gas formation in the active material, causing sulfuric acid to be distributed outside
the plates. This system of mixing the electrolyte enables more rapid charging of flooded cell
batteries subject to very high demands and balances out differences in density, homogenizing
the electrolyte across the surface of the plates.
Opportunity Profile
The OPPOR charge profile is used when opportunity charging is desired. It has a start rate of
25% of the batteries rated amp hour capacity, requires one complete recharge in every 24 hours
of service and must have an equalize charge done once a week which is programmed to run
automatically.
Operation:
During opportunity charging the user can plug the battery in and charge it during breaks,
lunch or any work stoppage time. One time per day the battery must receive a full
standard Ionic recharge. The charger real time clock must be adjusted and set for this
switch in charging profile to occur automatically at a predetermined time. Sufficient time
should be scheduled after the full charge to allow the battery to completely cool to ambient
temperatures before use.
Note: The user must configure the charger for the time of day that the full recharge is to
take place, they must also configure the day of the week that the equalize charge will take
place.
Refresh Charging
Refresh or maintenance charging enables the battery to be maintained at maximum charge all
the time that it is connected to the charger. Refresh charge is applied at a predetermined
intervals after charge is complete and battery remains connected to charger.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The LIFEPLUS MOD3 series of chargers are compatible with batteries at 24, 36, 48 and 72 or
80 volts (depending on the version supplied).
Battery recognition (voltage, capacity and state of charge) is accomplished automatically by the
microprocessor. Several charging profiles are available (Ionic, Gel, Opportunity) based on the
configuration chosen by the operator. If the charger is loaded with the Flex firmware then the
selectable profiles are Flex Fast and Flex Bloc. Furthermore, equalization and compensation
charges are integrated.
The LIFEPLUS MOD3 includes an adapter to communicate to a BBWC™. The BBWC™ is an
advanced battery module that measures, tracks and stores important battery parameters such
as temperature, electrolyte level, voltage and AH throughput. This data is wirelessly transmitted
to the LIFEPLUS MOD3 to optimize charging, alerts the operator to battery issues and
safeguards the battery from being permanently damaged.

Charge Profile Configuration
Battery Capacity
Without BBWC: this adjusts the battery AH capacity used by the charger to determine start and finish
rates, and should match the AH capacity of the battery being charged.
With BBWC: the battery AH capacity will be automatically transmitted from the BBWC.
When running in ionic: In ionic with Auto Capacity is enabled, the value is not used and it automatically
calculates the Ah capacity of the battery. If using ionic and Auto Capacity is disabled the charger will use this for
the Ah capacity of the battery.
Auto Capacity
Select either Disable or Enable. Only used for ionic. All other profiles are manual all the time and will either
use the battery Ah programmed into Battery Capacity or the value the charger reads from the BBWC. When
enabled in ionic the charger will automatically adjust to battery Ah sizes within the range it covers. (depending
on number of modules installed)
Battery Temperature
This parameter adjusts the regulation voltages on the charging profile (values between 5° and 149° F (–15°
and 65° C).
Without BBWC: defines the average operating battery temperature before the charge. It is recommended
the average electrolyte temperature be entered, especially in cold areas.
With BBWC: the battery operating temperature will be automatically transmitted from the BBWC. The
battery temperature will be analyzed during the charge; if it increases too much, the charger will stop to prevent
any possible damage.
High Battery Temperature
Defines a battery temperature safety limit.
Without BBWC: not used.
With BBWC: If the battery temperature, during the charge, reaches the programmed limit, the charger will
stop the charge cycle and wait until the temperature decreases.
Restart Temperature
Without BBWC: not used.
With BBWC: Defines the temperature at which the charge will restart, if the programmed limit is reached, and
the charge stops.

Charge Profile
To set the correct profile the charger will need to have the appropriate
firmware loaded. If a Flex battery you will need to have firmware
FXPLUS-VX.XX or if it’s a flooded battery or a Gel you need to have
LPM3-VX.XX in the charger. (make sure X.XX is the latest available
version if you are updating the charger)
To install firmware follow all steps below. If you have the appropriate
firmware installed already skip to step 8.
1. Insert flash drive in USB port with appropriate firmware
installed.
2. Enter password and go to USB menu.
3. Select Load Control Firmware.
4. Using the down arrow button, select firmware file from the list
on screen and hit Select button.
5. Firmware will automatically load at this point. Wait until it
finishes and splashes the Hawker startup screen before
removing the flash drive.
6. Reenter password.
7. Scroll down to Charge Profile Menu again and select Charge
Profile.
8. Select Ionic, Opportunity, or Gel. Or if the charger is loaded
with the Flex firmware the selectable profiles are Flex Bloc and
Flex Fast.
Ionic Charge Coefficient
This is only accessible through high level password
If you do have access to this setting make sure you understand what you are doing. If adjusted incorrectly it
could eventually damage a battery if not corrected.
This is the amount of overcharge built into the Ionic charge profile to compensate for losses in the battery
during recharge. (factory set to 15%, means total of 115%)
AGV_offset
For AGV applications, enter amount of Amps onboard electronics draw during charging. Allowed range is 0 to
20A. Entering 0 disables

Charge Delay
Charge Delay Type:
- OFF (no delay)
- Charge Delay Time of Day
- Time After Battery Connect
Charge Delay On Days: Selects day or days of the week to delay charge. One or more days may be
selected, or none.
Charge Delay Time of Day: Charge will not start until the time of day stored in VALUE (24 Hour format) is
reached.
Delay Time After Battery Connection: Start of charge is delayed by the amount of time stored in
VALUE (0 to 24 Hours).
Charge Blockout
Block out Days: Selects day or days of the week to block out charge. One or more days may be selected,
or none.
Block Out Start Time: Sets block out start time.
Block Out End Time: Sets block out end time.
Conditional Charge %
Set conditional charge %. The charger will only charge if the battery has reached the limit of depth of
discharge (DoD) of more than x%. For example if the user wants to charge the battery only if it is discharged
more than 30%, the parameter 30 has to be entered in the conditional charge. The 0 value disables the
function.
Opportunity Daily Charge
Start Daily Charge Time: Sets daily charge start time.
End Daily Charge Time: Sets daily charge end time.
