Introduction to the CBC Toolkit
The CBC Toolkit is an essential tool for optimizing battery performance across a wide range of applications. It enables users to configure Mascot LiFePO4 battery chargers that are marked with the CBC symbol. The toolkit comprises a CBC module, a USB cable, and Mascot configuration software for PC. It provides access to 21 distinct parameter settings and 8 additional functions that can be enabled or disabled.
Key Configuration / Charge Detection Variables
- Charge voltages
- Diode compensation level: Increase in voltage to compensate for diode in series
- Cut-off current level to go to Float charge
- NTC parameters (nominal value and β-value)
- Temperature limits (Hot, cold, charge pause ++)
- Recharge voltage level
- Timers: Soft start timer, CV charge timer and Safety timer
| Name | Value | Unit |
|---|---|---|
| Softstart Time | 1 800 | s |
| Charge Time | 60 | min |
| Safety Time | 4 320 | min |
| Battery Voltage Maintenance Delta | 0,60 | V |
| DACBoost | 14,598 | V |
| DACMaint | 14,006 | V |
Functions (Enable/Disable)
- Enable/Disable NTC if present
- Enable/Disable float charge
- Float charge only: Full charge cycle using float voltage level only.
- NTC mandatory: This will stop the charge cycle if NTC is missing or not working properly
- Power supply mode: Charge logic disabled.
- Read and/or write protected configuration
The following functions can be enabled or disabled:
- [ ] Read protect
- [ ] Write protect
- [ ] NTC required
- [ ] No NTC
- [x] Suspend when cold
- [x] Float charge only
- [ ] Power supply mode
- [x] Float charge enable
