How to Use Switchmode Battery Charger BCS-WSC-1280

The Switchmode Battery Charger BCS-WSC-1280 is designed for professional or heavy-duty users requiring flexibility, performance, and ease of use. Follow these steps for proper operation:

1. Choose Battery Type and Mode
   Confirm the battery chemistry (AGM, GEL, Lead-acid, or LiFePO4) and select the appropriate mode—charging or power supply. 
2. Connect the Charger to the Battery
   Attach the output terminals securely to the battery—positive to positive, negative to negative. Up to three battery connections are supported for larger systems. 
3. Plug into AC Power
   Connect the charger to a 100–240V AC power source. The unit will auto-detect the voltage range and begin operation. 
4. Select Charging Stage or Output
   Use the control interface to select desired voltage (14.0V to 15.5V), float mode (13.5V or 13.8V), or equalisation mode for desulphation and maintenance. 
5. Monitor Operation
   The charger’s internal controller automatically adjusts current and voltage during each stage of charging. Optional remote controls (RC-600 or RC-601D) and temperature sensors (TF-100) are available for additional monitoring and control. 
6. Shut Down or Disconnect Safely
   Once charging is complete or if using power supply mode, disconnect the unit or switch to standby. Always disconnect AC power before removing the battery leads. 

FAQs about Switchmode Battery Charger BCS-WSC-1280

What battery types can I charge with the BCS-WSC-1280?

The Switchmode Battery Charger BCS-WSC-1280 supports:

• Lead-acid (wet/flooded) 
• GEL 
• AGM 
• LiFePO4
  This wide compatibility makes it ideal for automotive, solar, marine, mobility equipment, and backup power systems. 

What is the advantage of 4-stage charging?

The 4-stage charging process—Bulk (I), Absorption (Uo), Float (U), and Equalisation—ensures batteries are charged fully and safely. It helps avoid undercharging or overcharging, removes sulphation, and maintains batteries at optimal voltage, especially during long-term use or storage.

Can the charger act as a power supply?

Yes. The BCS-WSC-1280 includes a selectable power supply mode with a stable output of 13.2V. This is useful for maintaining voltage to sensitive electronics or powering 12V equipment when battery support is unavailable.

Is it safe to use in varying weather conditions?

The charger operates within a wide temperature range of -20°C to +50°C. It includes internal protections such as:

• Short circuit protection 
• Over voltage protection 
• Over current protection 
• Over temperature protection
  These features make it suitable for use in mobile service vans, marine cabins, off-grid systems, and outdoor shelters. 

What accessories are available?

Optional accessories include:

• RC-600 or RC-601D remote control modules for extended interface 
• TF-100 temperature compensation sensor for climate-sensitive charging
  These expand monitoring capability and help further optimise charging in varied conditions.
