IntelliSUPPLY
XS Power IntelliSUPPLY User Guide

The IntelliSUPPLY is an advanced power supply unit and battery charger designed specifically for high
performance lead-acid batteries. This power supply/charger uses MOSFET rectifier technology with an advanced
microprocessor control board to create a battery charger and power supply that can rapidly and safely recharge
12V, 14V and 16V flooded, maintenance free, deep cycle, gel-cell, and AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat) batteries
in several sizes. The wireless remote and digital display makes the IntelliSUPPLY very easy to use.
Multi-Stage Charging
At the heart of the technology in the XS Power IntelliSUPPLY are the three distinct charging stages and DC
power output. During the first stage, called “Bulk” charging, the charger will regulate the current the voltage is
allowed to float. During this stage, 80% of the battery’s capacity is restored. When the battery’s cell voltage
comes up to the correct level, the second stage called “Absorption” charging is engaged. During this stage
the voltage is fixed according to the battery type and voltage switches on the front panel and the current is
allowed to float. The battery is brought to 100% during this stage and the cells are equalized. The third stage
is float charging. During this stage the voltage and current are reduced to a level that will maintain the battery
indefinitely. Several microprocessors are used to tightly control the entire process. This is the same technique
that battery manufacturers recommend and use in the production of new batteries and it is the fastest and
safest technique for battery charging.
Compatible With All Lead-Acid Type Batteries
Lead-acid batteries have different charging requirements based on their specific design. Flooded and
maintenance free batteries require a higher voltage per cell than do sealed valve regulated types such as AGM
and gel-cell batteries. Overcharging will reduce the life of any battery as sealed valve regulated batteries are
especially sensitive to high charging voltages and overcharging. Some sealed valve regulated batteries are
more sensitive to overcharging than others. If in doubt as to which battery setting to use for your application,
contact the manufacturer of the battery being charged. Overcharging an AGM or gel-cell battery will cause
permanent damage.
Power Supply Mode
Along with charging batteries, the XS Power PSC Chargers can operate as Power Supplies. When this mode is selected,
the Charger will maintain a constant output voltage and current. Power Supply mode is to be used for audio display boards
and can be used as test bench power supplies. Power Supply Mode should not be used to charge AGM Batteries.
Desulfation Mode
At the end of a battery’s life, or in the event that a battery has sat uncharged for an elongated amount of time, It
can become sulfated. This would reduce the capacity and performance of the battery. The PSC Chargers have the
ability to recondition a battery that has sulfated. Through a complex charging cycle and microprocessor controlled
pulsed output, the PSC charger can break down the sulfated crystals inside the battery which cause the lack in
performance. Using this mode on older batteries once every few months is advisable to prolong battery life.
Remote Control/ Display
A remotely mounted display will show the status of the charging functions of the PSC models. This feature will
allow the user to control power on/off. The remote will display important charger and battery information such as
voltage, charge rate, mode, fault, and status of the battery being charged.
Voltage Monitoring
The battery’s terminal voltage is measured every five minutes by the on-board microprocessors and this information is
analyzed in addition to the elapsed time to dynamically control the Battery Charger for optimum charging performance.
Automatic Computer Analysis/Auto Shutdown
The microprocessors will analyze the battery when connected. If the battery’s voltage is below 4V or the battery will
not come up to the correct voltage in a ten-hour period the charger will automatically shut off.
UL Approved Battery Cables
Six feet of durable battery cables are provided that are resistant to cuts and abrasion. The copper plated battery clamps are
compact and custom designed easy connections. All clamp connections are soldered for maximum current flow.
Internal Cooling Fan
A cooling fan automatically operates during charging to keep the transformer and other internal components at
a constant safe temperature.

The PSC60 can be used as a dual bank charger,
meaning it has a secondary output that allows inde-
pendent charging of two isolated batteries or battery
banks. When using this feature, the charger will
automatically sense how much current to deliver to
each battery or battery bank and will provide different
levels of current as needed to each until both are fully
charged. This feature is designed for use on com-
mon voltage batteries only, so connecting a 12V and
a 16V battery to one charger will result in improper
charging of one of the batteries and may cause
irreversible damage.

Installation Location:
Physical Requirements
Requirements For Installation
IMPORTANT: This product is best mounted in a Horizontal position. If the unit is mounted in a vertical
position, the cooling fan must be at the bottom of the unit.
Avoid excessive cable lengths and use the recommended wire lengths and
sizes. Undersized or overly long cables may affect charging accuracy.
Avoid the use of extended wire lengths if possible.
Allow at least 4 inches (10 cm) of clearance around all sides of the
charger for air flow. Ensure that the ventilation openings on the unit are
not obstructed. If mounting in a compartment, ventilate the compartment
with louvres or cut-outs to prevent overheating.
Working in the vicinity of lead-acid batteries is dangerous. Batteries generate
explosive gases during normal operation. It is safest not to install electrical
equipment in these areas.
The unit is intended for use in a dry location. Do not allow water or other
fluids to drip or splash on the charger. Do not mount the charger in an
area subject to rain, spray or splashing bilge water.
For best performance, the ambient air temperature should be between
5°F (-15°C) and 113°F (45°C)- the cooler the better. At higher ambient
temperatures, the output current will be automatically reduced to protect
the charger from high internal temperatures.
Do not expose the charger to metal filings or any other form of conduc-
tive contamination. The presence of conductive contamination can cause
damage and void your warranty.

Charging Lead-Acid Batteries
WARNING: Before you start to charge batteries read the “Important Safety Instructions” on page (1)
and take all safety precautions when working with batteries.
The IntelliSUPPLY has been designed to provide fully automatic recharge of 12V, 14V and 16V AGM and gel-cell
batteries.
To charge your 12V, 14V or 16V battery:
1) If possible, disconnect all loads from the battery, by removing battery cables, opening a
disconnect switch, or switching loads off.
CAUTION!
Although this is best, in a racing environment this may not be possible. Supplemental
loads such as an electric water pump or cooling fans may be operated while charging
during stage one. Please note though that supplimental loads will reduce the amount of
amperage available to the battery. The charger detects that a battery is fully charged when
its charging current drops below a preset limit in a specific elapsed time. The presence of
electrical loads on the battery will interfere with this process. Therefore when the charger
is in stage two-absorption charging it is necessary for the battery to be isolated from loads.
The IntelliCHARGER is in stage-two when the charge rate is declining.
2) Select the correct battery voltage.
3) Connect the red positive (+) clip of the charger cables to the positive (+) terminal of the
vehicle battery.
4) Connect the black negative (–) clip of the charger cables to a solid chassis ground. If this is
not possible, connect it to the negative (–) battery terminal.
5) Flip the power switch on the front panel to ON.
The microprocessors will analyze the battery and then after a short delay, the charging status
LED indicator will turn red beginning the three-stage charging sequence.
CAUTION: Do not change the voltage type during charging. Use the correct battery type at all times.
During stage one-bulk charging, the amperage will begin at 0A and finish at either 15A, 30A, 60A,
or 90A depending on which PSC model is being used. During stage two-absorption charging, the
amperage will start to fall to zero as the battery comes up to 100%. When the charging process
is complete, the charging staus LED indicator will turn green. The cooling fan inside the charger
wll come on for several seconds when the unit is initially powered up and connected to your
battery. The fan will turn on automatically when the unit reaches 6 to 7 amps and will remain on
until the unit falls below 6 to 7 amps.
*Note that the charger will automatically restart the charging sequence if the charge current rises
above a factory preset threshold.
6) When complete, flip the power switch to OFF.
7) Remove the black negative (–) clip and the red positive (+) clip from the vehicle’s battery terminals.

Precautions Working With
Lead-Acid Batteries
Follow all instructions published by the battery manufacturer and the manufacturer of the equipment in
which the battery is installed.
1) Make sure the area around the battery is well ventilated.
2) Never smoke or allow a spark or flame near the battery(ies).
3) Use caution to reduce the risk of dropping a metal tool on the battery.
It could spark or short circuit the battery or other electrical parts and
thereby cause an explosion.
4) Remove all metal items, like rings, bracelets, and watches when working
with lead-acid batteries. Lead-acid batteries produce a short circuit
current high enough to cause a severe burn.
5) Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts
skin, clothing, or eyes.
6) Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection. Avoid touching
eyes while working near batteries.
7) If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and
water. If acid enters your eye, immediately flood it with running cold
water for at least twenty minutes and get medical attention immediately.
8) If you need to remove a battery, always remove the ground terminal
from the battery first. Make sure all accessories are off to minimize the
potential of a spark.
9) Someone should be in the range of your voice or close enough to come
to your aid when working with a lead-acid battery.
10) Do not attempt to remove the vent covers on sealed lead-acid batteries
such as the XS Power 16V AGM battery. Sealed batteries operate on a
slight positive cell pressure. Venting this pressure will ruin the battery.

Appendix B
Appendix B describes battery charging in more detail.
The IntelliSUPPLY charges batteries in a sequence known as multi-stage charging. The charging
voltage delivered to the battery depends on the battery’s depth of discharge.
The three automatic stages are:
• Stage One - Bulk
• Stage Two - Absorption/Equalization
• Stage Three - Float
Bulk Charge
In the first stage, known as “bulk” charging, the IntelliSUPPLY delivers its full-rated output
current. This constant current is delivered to the batteries until the battery voltage approaches
its absorption voltage, either 2.5V per cell or 2.375V per cell depending on battery type selected.
The bulk charge stage restores about 75% of the battery’s charge and this stage completes very
quickly unless the battery is deeply discharged. During this stage the charge rate current on the
ammeter should close to the charge rate selected on the front panel switch.
Absorption/Equalize Charge
During the second stage, known as “absorption” charging, the charging voltage is held constant
near the gassing voltage, and the charging current is allowed to diminish as the battery comes
up to 100% charge. Complex algorithms considering the time, voltage level, and charging current
determine when the charger exits this mode and goes to stage three, float charging. The length
of time of this mode depends on the battery and is not fixed.
Float Charge
The third stage, called “Float” charging is a maintenance mode in which the output voltage of
the charger is reduced to a lower level, typically about 2.26 V per cell to maintain the battery’s
charge without losing electrolyte through gassing. In the float mode, the charger will initiate a
new charge cycle if:
• AC power is disconnected and reconnected
• The current demand on the IntelliSUPPLY exceeds the battery recharge current setting.

FAQ’s
Can I change the clamps on the charger with quick disconnects?
Yes. We recommend soldering all electrical connections where possible.
Can I run my electric water pump and cooling fan while charging?
Yes, with a word of caution, but there are two issues. First, the charger will only provide 15A
max(PSC15), 30A max(PSC30), or 60A max(PSC60), or 90A(PSC90) charge current. Any amperage
being consumed by extra electrical loads (ie. electric water pumps, etc.) will take away from the
amperage available for battery charging and the battery charge time will be increased. In addition,
the battery charger monitors the battery voltage and time to determine when the battery is at 100%
charge. Extra electrical loads on the system will give the charger false information and therefore will
prevent the charger from properly completing stage two.
Second, some electrical items can be damaged by high voltages. Data loggers, computers, and
other items may lose data or be seriously damaged if subjected to the 19.0~20.0VDC of charging
voltage. We do not recommend retrieving this information while charging. If in doubt about a
particular component, consult with its manufacturer concerning its maximum input voltage.
CAUTION: Data loggers, computers of all sorts, and light bulbs may be damaged by the 19.0~20.0VDC
of input voltage during charging. Do not operate these items while charging. We recommend disconnecting
the battery from the system while charging.

FAQ
Can I run this charger from a portable generator?
Yes with a word of caution. Since the output of the battery charger is directly proportional with
the input voltage, we recommend portable generators with automatic voltage regulation. The
IntelliSUPPLY is calibrated at the factory assuming 120VAC, 60Hz. Deviations from this voltage
will cause deviations in the output voltage and overall performance.
How many batteries can I recharge at one time with the IntelliSUPPLY?
This depends on the size of the batteries. All batteries in the bank must be of the same type and
size. In addition, the IntelliSUPPLY is expecting the battery bank to be at full charge in ten hours or
less. Therefore the size of the batteries and their depth of discharge will play a role in the answer
here. Given they were all XS Power 16V AGM batteries with a size of 45Ah at 100% discharged,
you can charge up to four in parallel in ten hours.
Calculating External Battery Charging Time
Charging time will depend on the amp-hour capacity of your battery and on how deeply it is
discharged. The following equation calculates an approximate charging time:
Charging Time = CAP x DOD
CC x 80% where:
Charging Time = Battery recharge time in hours
CAP = Battery capacity in amp-hours
DOD = Battery depth of discharge in percent.
A fully discharged battery has 100% DOD.
CC = Charge current. The rated current output of the
charger in amps.
80% = Typical charging efficiency for lead-acid batteries.
Example:
An XS Power 16V AGM battery rated at 100 amp-hours is 40% discharged, that is, it has a
DOD = 40%. Charging time with an IntelliSUPPLY 15A unit is calculated as follows:
Charging time = 100Ah x 40% = 3.3 hours
15A x 80%
