Product Description
iSmartEV EP401 Battery Charger/Discharger
The EP401 is a battery pack module integrated charge-discharge machine designed based on the characteristics of lithium-ion batteries used in electrical vehicles. It can efficiently perform the charging, discharging, and balancing of battery pack modules, thereby enhancing the efficiency of battery pack maintenance.
This charger/discharger will allow you to charge/discharge battery modules and monitor the individual cells in each module while performing the charge or discharge cycle
Use examples:
- Discharge battery/battery modules for transport, as lithium ion batteries must have a state of charge lower that 30% for transport
- Charge or discharge battery modules to get to the required charge level so they can be fitted into a battery pack and have the same state of charge as the other modules already fitted, in other words balance the modules so they have the same charge level (note this machine wont balance cells in a module, to balance cells in a module you need EB240)
- Charge and discharge modules to recover capacity
- Test modules by charging and discharging and monitoring
- Manage batteries modules held in stock for a long time to keep them charged to required levels
Features：
- Multi-Purpose: Wide voltage range design, suitable for different voltage level module discharging, charging, activation testing.
- Safe and Efficient Integrated Charging and Discharging
- Supports Various Lithium Batteries and Nickel-metal Hydride Batteries
- BMS System Protection Mechanism
- Multiple Safety Protections
- Supports charging and discharging maintenance for various battery type;
- Utilizes advanced charging and discharging testing technology to avoid interference with the BMS system;
- Supports a maximum of 72 channels for cell voltage collection and 12 channels for temperature collection;
- Automatically determines charging and discharging operations;
- Wide voltage design with built-in multiple charging and discharging modes to meet the voltage and current requirements of various battery pack modules, ensuring safety while improving charging and discharging efficiency;
- Reverse polarity, overtemperature, short circuit, overcurrent, fan failure, overvoltage, overcurrent, etc. will be warned to ensure hardware safety;
Functions:
- Charge/Discharge Test: Adopting a wide voltage design, it is suitable for charging and discharging tests of battery modules of
different voltage levels. Supports various lithium batteries and nickel metal hydride batteries.
- Single Unit and Terminal Voltage Collection: Supports real-time acquisition of pack terminal voltage and individual cell voltage.
- Single Battery Core Protection: Cell current and voltage protection thresholds can be set to prevent overcharge and over-discharge
- Terminal Charging and Discharging Protection: Supports overvoltage, undervoltage, overcurrent, output short circuit, reverse
connection protection and overtemperature protection.
- Parameter Setting: General mode can quickly start charging and discharging by setting a few parameters, while expert mode can set
more detailed parameters.
- Data Visualization: During the charging and discharging process, the voltage of each single cell, terminal voltage, terminal current,
the charging and discharging status, the charging and discharging capacity, etc. are monitored in real time.
- History Records: Automatically saves historical charging and discharging records, supporting both curve and bar chart data display
formats. Historical data can be exported as Excel files to a USB drive or shared as PDF files via email or QR code for data overview.
- Online Upgrade: Supports online device upgrades without the need for local upgrades using a USB drive
Technical Information:
General
We at Ryan’s automotive pride ourselves on the support we give with the products we sell,
As we believe that selling the product to the customer is only the 1st step and that ongoing support is very important so the customer can get good value from his equipment,
We are also in a great position to support these products as we use them in our own workshop,
Support and after sales service can sometimes be a very loosely used terms and it is not always clear what the supplier is committing to this is why we want to explain as clearly as possible what both parties are committing to,
All of the below is based on units sold in Ireland (32 counties) and for outside Ireland it is not possible to provide all of the below support and after sales in the same forms for example loaner units calling on site etc so please enquire for more information if you are based outside of Ireland
Warranty
The Smartsafe EP401 comes with 1 year warranty
And all warranty repairs if required will be either carried out on site or the unit picked up and taken back to Ryan’s Automotive for repairs.
We aim to keep the customer up and running and will either have the issue fixed or a loaner unit (subject to availability) delivered to the customer within 72 hours (Monday to Friday)
The 1 year warranty is subject to correct use, maintenance and servicing according to the maintenance instructions in the user manual.
Items excluded from the 1 year warranty are
Leads and cables and connectors
Machine calibrations (if knocked out of calibration due to mishandling)
Damage to any of the components caused by incorrect power supply, Excessive dampness, or any other damage caused by ingress, other foreign bodies, accidental damages, incorrect use damages or unauthorised modifications.
Conditions to keep warranty valid
All general maintenance and servicing must be carried out at the correct intervals according to the maintenance instructions in the user manual.
Delivery and Training
Ryan’s Automotive or a courier will deliver the unit to you workshop and Install/set up the unit and once set up will provide 4 hours onsite training (or online if customers is not based in Ireland) on use of the machine.
Support and extra training
Ryan’s Automotive will provide machine technical support by phone, WhatsApp, our customer support portal or email when needed (subject to fair use) and can provide extra chargeable training if required.
Servicing, Repairs, Calibrations and database updates not covered by the warranty and after the warranty period
Ryan’s Automotive can perform all servicing, maintenance, calibrations and database updates that may be needed on these units in Ireland during and after the warranty period at very reasonable rates
For servicing and repairs not covered by warranty or after the warranty we can assist in few different ways
1 Call on site and perform the necessary work and if needed take the unit back to Ryan’s Automotive for
completion
2 Owner can deliverer the machine to Ryan’s Automotive to be repaired (this will save on call out or
transportation fees)
3 Arrange to get the unit picked up and taken back to Ryan’s Automotive
4 Send out the necessary parts to the owner and advise over the phone how to perform the necessary
operation
5 Provide a hire unit for the period that the unit is out of action (note this is chargeable for none
warranty repairs and subject to availability)
If you are a customer located in Ireland, spend €180 ex.VAT or more and get free delivery, or for orders under €180 ex.VAT delivery costs €12.50 ex.VAT
