IQ4 Smart Charge Controller
IQ4 smart charge controller for DLS battery
chargers:
Includes a 12" cord with a modular
plug on each end to connect to your
DLS battery charger.
For a dimensional drawing please click
onto the following link:
Will work on the 12, 24 and 36 volt models of DLS chargers.
We also stock the 48 volt model - see below.
Take your DLS Battery Charger to the next level...
Reduced Charge Times
The Bulk Stage allows the batteries to be charged from the full rated
output of the DLS charger.
During this stage the batteries are recharged quickly to reduce
charge times
Increased Battery Capacity
After the Bulk Stage, the batteries are held in the Absorption Stage for
a controlled period, insuring a full and complete charge.
Reduced Battery Stress
During the Float Stage, the DLS charge voltage is reduced.
This minimizes gassing while maintaining a full charge at the nominal
rate of the battery.
Weekly Equalization for Longer Battery Life
If the batteries have not received a "smart charge" during a seven-day
period, the IQ Controller will switch the DLS charger into a
pre-programmed equalization stage to top off the batteries, dissolving
any sulfate layer on the battery's internal plates and avoiding stratification.
LED Indicator
The LED Indicator on the IQ4 informs the user as to the status of the
battery and the charging stage.
When first activated, the IQ4 will read the number of cells in the battery
and indicate the voltage of the battery through a number of flashes.
6 flashes = 12 volt battery
12 flashes = 24 volt battery
18 flashes = 36 volt battery
After reading the battery, the IQ4 will initiate either a Bulk Charge phase
or Float Charge phase depending on the battery's charge status.
When the IQ4 is in the Bulk Charge mode, the green LED indicator will
flash rapidly.
When the Bulk Charge is complete, the IQ4 begins the Absorption Charge
and the LED indicator will flash at a slower rate.
When the battery charging is complete and the IQ4 begins the Float Charge,
the LED will remain lit and no longer flash. If, when first activated, the battery
is not in need of charging, the IQ4 will immediately begin the Float charge
phase and the LED will be remain lit after it has counted the battery cells.
Please note: if you have an old style DLS battery charger, made prior
to 2004 and without the modular jack on top, the current IQ4 can not
be adapted for use with the old style units.

The IQ4 - PARALLEL smart charge controller connects to both chargers
to monitor and control the battery charging sequence and full four
stage charging.
This will work on 12, 24 or 36 volt DLS battery chargers - both chargers
must have the same voltage output (e.g. 12, 24 or 36 volt.)
This will NOT work with the 48 volt (DLS-54.4V-15) charger.
