SMBus SM2+ charger – Specifications

  SM2+ charger
Description Two-bay fast charger for simultaneous service of two batteries; supports SMBus Level 3; measures state-of-health. Charger prompts user to condition the battery through a discharge/charge cycle if the capacity falls below set target of 60%, 70% or 80% (SMBus batteries only). Also supports 'dumb' nickel-based batteries.
Batteries Supported 2020, 210, 202, 201, 36, 35, 30, 17, 15 or equivalent Smart Battery: Li-ion (14.4V); NiCd/NiMH (12V) Dumb Battery: NiCd/NiMH (10.8V - 12V)
Charging Automatic battery recognition; applies Reverse Load Charge to nickel-based batteries, a brief discharge pulse between the charge pulses to reduce "memory" and prolong battery life.
Charge rate Smart battery: Variable, up to 2.5A; dumb battery: 1.8A fixed
Charge termination Smart battery - controlled by battery or time-out
Dumb battery - dT/dt; 1°C/min. rise or neg. slope
Charge time 2.5 - 4h for 2 batteries (battery dependent)
Discharging "Condition" applies discharge/charge cycle to restore nickel-based batteries and calibrate lithium-ion when target capacity not met.
