1. Introduction
This manual will provide information needed to install the Charger-Splitter™. The
Charger-Splitter™ is to be used in conjunction with an iBOS®battery room
management system.
1.1. System Overview
The Charger-Splitter™ add-on feature enables a site to reduce the number of
chargers needed in half. With the Charger-Splitter™ add-on, two battery
positions are paired to a single charger. When the first battery is fully charged,
the iBOS®battery room management system will alert the operator with a
white flashing LED to switch the charger to begin charging the second battery.
