GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The Power Peak ULTIMATE 2 is an intelligent charger with convenient battery manage-
ment, designed for charging NC, NiMH, lead-acid and Lithium batteries.
The Power Peak ULTIMATE 2 can be used to charge and discharge NC and NiMH batte-
ries consisting of 1 to 25 cells, either in automatic mode (with automatic current setting)
or in manual mode. The Delta Peak method is used to terminate the charge process when
the battery is fully charged.
The unit can also charge up to five series-wired Lithium cells at a current of up to 5 Amps.
The charge process is terminated automatically when the battery is fully charged; the cut-
off is voltage-dependent. Automatic charging of lead-acid batteries of 2 to 12 Volts is also
possible.
The charger incorporates ten memories which can be used for storing settings for parti-
cular batteries, as entered by the user in manual mode.
The main feature of the Power Peak ULTIMATE 2 is the ground-breaking
Battery Identification System (BID). A vast array of different battery types is
now available to the modeller, and the range is constantly growing larger;
the problem is that each battery type requires its "own" charge process. It
can happen so quickly: you switch the system on with the wrong settings
- and in a moment your valuable battery is damaged.
The revolutionary BID system from robbe now offers an inge-
nious solution to this problem. A small, lightweight BID chip is
assigned to each battery; the chip stores all the relevant data
required for charging and discharging that pack perfectly.
When the battery is to be charged or discharged, the BID chip
attached to the battery is connected to the Power Peak ULTI-
MATE 2, and the BID system transfers the required parame-
ters to the charger.
means that an up-to-date picture of the battery's state can be obtained largely without
the need for PC software or computer technology.
Operating instructions
POWER PEAK ULTIMATE 2
Simply press the 'Start' button, and the charge or
discharge process begins. No tiresome searching
through menus for the set-up parameters, maximum
protection from mishandling, and storing of the rele-
vant battery data in the BID chip - those are the uni-
que advantages of the BID system.
Since the essential information is stored in the BID
chip, all the data required for safe, optimum charging
and discharging is always "on board" the battery, and
can be displayed on the charger at any time This
