System Description


DESCRIPTION

On-board charger uses a 2-converter system which consists of the PFC circuit and the DC/DC converter. It improves charging efficiency, full-charge accuracy and service life of the Li-ion battery. On-board charger judges external power supply voltage, and automatically switches to the charging appropriate for the power supply.
NOTE:
PFC (Power Factor Correction) circuit is a power factor improvement circuit. It is a device for converting AC
power (input from external source) to DC power efficiently.

Charge Mode





Normal Charge Mode (Immediate Charge)
Normal charge mode (immediate charge) immediately starts charging when EVSE is connected. When timer charge is not set, charging is immediately started when the charge connector is connected to the charge port.
When timer charge is set, immediate charge mode is selected after the immediate charging switch is pressed.
Normal Charge Mode (Timer Charge)
Normal charge mode (timer charge) starts/stops charging by the timer set in VCM. Charge level can be set to
80% or 100%.
Normal Charge Mode (Remote Charge)
Normal charge mode (remote charge) starts charging by remote control with mobile tool.
Quick Charge Mode
Quick charge mode performs charging with quick charger. Maximum charge level varies depending on the remaining level of the Li-ion battery at the start of charging. When charging is not completed and the charge time set on the quick charger or the time out (approximately 60 minutes) set on the vehicle elapses, charging stops.
NOTE:
If charging stops before charging is complete, additional charging by quick charge can be performed again.
