The default supply limit is set to 25 amps so you don't overload and burn up an under powered, power supply. Select LiHV folder and then select Blend435 or Blend427 To use them you have to import them using the CCS.įile/FMA Default Presets/Open File to Preset. The HV presets are available from the preset library on the file system. txt from the file name before importing into the CCS using "Open file to preset #" Edit: Added Powerlab6 Storage preset for small 1s cells. FMA does provide a plug and play parallel board solution in the form of the MPA. It is important that you get the correct interconnect cable that matches the parallel board you purchased. There are currently two different wiring pinouts being used between different parallel board vendors. The cable that runs between the charger and the parallel board is referred to as the interconnect cable. This is because the original FMA boards required the FMA wiring mode which is not compatible with the parallel board's wiring. The original FMA balance adapters cannot be used between the 3rd party parallel board and the charger. To connect the parallel board to the Powerlab, the parallel board vendor will need to provide a cable goes between the Powerlab and the board. This includes boards the MPA as well boards from other vendors. The new presets are found in the LiPo folder.Īs described in the wiring mode section, all parallel board require the JST-XH wiring mode. Once the new firmware is loaded, select file to preset. One for up to 40 amps and one for storage up to 40 amps (charge). The new firmware includes two new 1s high power presets.

Like the supply limit, using the Powerlab software is the easiest method to change this setting. However, to use the Revolectrix MPA (Multi-port Adapter) or the SPA (Single Port Safe Parallel Adapter), or any other parallel board, the wiring mode will needs to changed to JST-XH/EH. This mode is compatible with all the FMA balance adapters for the Powerlab6 and Powerlab8. The Powerlab arrives in the FMA wiring mode. Using a manually set charge current, if the charger does not sustain the set current this setting may be set to high. If the Low Supply Voltage setting is set to high, the charger will start limiting current inappropriately. NOTE: DO NOT set the Low Supply Voltage value to the actual supply voltage. Here are some example settings for common supply voltages, rounded down to the next whole number.įor a 12v supply use the minimum setting of 10v. Using the CCS, the loaded supply voltage is displayed in the Supply Voltage vs Time graph. The loaded supply voltage may be lower than the value displayed on the charger's console. The low supply voltage setting should be set to 50% of the loaded supply voltage.
The "Supply Low Voltage" limit is used protect the charger and supply when the supply is no longer able to regulate output voltage. "Supply Low Voltage" should be set to 50% of the loaded supply voltage It only needs to changed if the power supply cannot deliver 40 amps per channel, 80 amps total.
The default setting for the Dual Powerlab is 40 amps. See the Smart Power Management section starting page 9. You can quickly change the default setting if you have the USB connection and the Powerlab software.
#POWERLAB SOFTWARE FULL#
Because the Powerlab will pull the full 40 amps(Powerlab6) or 60 amps (Powerlab8), there is a real potential to damage a power supply that is not capable and does not have built in protection. The default supply limit for the Powerlab6 and Powerlab8 is set to 25 amps so you don't overload and burn up an under powered, power supply. There a quick start guide called the "Quick Reference" to get you up and running quickly. I put this short list together to answer some of the common questions new owners have.
