DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION
General
The LIFESPEED MOD3 series of chargers are compatible with batteries at 24, 36, 48 volts or
72, 80 volts, depending on model.
Battery recognition (voltage, capacity, state of charge, temperature, etc.) is accomplished by
wireless communication from the Battery Boss®. Battery management is optimized through
use of the Battery Boss®. Three charging profiles are available based on the configuration
chosen by the operator. Furthermore, desulfation, equalization and compensation charges are
integrated.
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.
Blockout 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.
Cold Storage
This is a charging profile that allows the configuration of the charger for 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.
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.
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 batteryto completely cool to ambient
temperatures before use.

LIFESPEED MOD3
Owner’s Manual
AM-HLSM3-OM
Rev AB October 2019
11
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.
Fast Charge Profile
Utilizing a patented algorithm, the electronic circuits of the LifeSpeed charger reduce the
natural resistance of the battery by introducing short discharge cycles into the charging profile.
This homogenization of the ions around the plates allows for a better distribution of the active
ions in the charging zones. Therefore, a substantially larger current can be applied and
sustained, resulting in a much faster charging process while maintaining full temperature
control during the charge.
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 LIFESPEED 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 (Fast, Opportunity, Ionic) based on the
configuration chosen by the operator. Furthermore, equalization and compensation charges are
integrated.
The LIFESPEED 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 LIFESPEED MOD3 to optimize charging, alert the operator to battery issues and
safeguard 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.
