Grid monitoring depends on actual voltage in your electric grid. It is a good idea to set it more conservative. 08 is a factory setting, good for most situations. It will give about 15V gap between idle and reaction to load at 240V, and an approximately 8V gap at 210V. Increasing tolerance is increasing the gap by 1-2V (depending on actual voltage). A higher step can be observed at higher voltages, as this method of grid load control based on actual voltage to estimate load. Decreasing reduces the gap by 1-2V. In the case of electric fuses turned off please decrease tolerance first. If you see, that charger reacts to load and reduces the speed of charging, but this amperage reduction is not enough for your fuse system - please switch “More Sens” on to increase the amount of amperage reduction by twice.

FAQ

1. What is a typical setup of charger you suggest?
We highly suggest to use BatteryCare with No Full Charging for everyday use and commuting, and BatteryCare without No Full Charging for occasional, long trip occurrences. Charging battery full, along with it’s high temperature reduces usable capacity and State Of Health of your battery.

2. Can I restart ReVive balancing again after it finished to balance and cure my battery even more?
Yes, this is ok and it will work for you.

3. Can I use Accelev with 230V 3-phase network (like in some parts of Norway).
No. It won’t work. Or better to answer – it will work with a reduced speed to 4 kWh and show an error.

4. Can I use Accelev outdoors?
No, it designed to use indoor, sheltered. You can use it as a portable charger, but restrictions apply – see paragraph “3. Precautions & Installation”.

5. Can I charge Type1/Type2/Tesla US cars with one charger?
Yes. You need just cables we provide. Tesla US connector, Mennekes (Type 2) and J1772 (Type 1) are available. Your charger is delivered with one of these types. If you want more – ask us.

6. Can I have longer/shorter cables for supply/car connection?
Of course. Just tell us what do you need and we will produce that.

7. Do you plan to expand this charger to be 3-phase? Why don’t you offer 3-phase chargers?
Yes, we plan do add third phase extension as separate module, but without oblige. Charger is ready to have an extension module to 3-phase.
3-phase charger with such power in single housing will be heavy or inefficient.

Firmware Releases

04.25 - v2.02 - the speed of reaction of Grid Monitoring vastly improved (0,01 sec now). Power presentation in orange instead of green while BatteryCare or Grid Monitoring active and controlling the load. Mode 1 charging added for Mitsubishi i-Miev first gen (with 3.0 kW onboard charger).

04.20 - v2.01 - impulse based option of ultra-balancing added (with access code for beta-testers), presentation of actual voltage at grid monitoring button added, SoftStart and AutoStart functions added (see manual). Outlander PHEV special, faster charging routine added (omits in-charge balancing, forces battery balancing at the end of charging, saves about 15 min extra, and 30 min in total vs any other charger)

04.10 - v2.00 - first official release.
