Like the BID, the BID with Ah Accumulator is a Battery Identification Device, and provides the charger with the ID number of the battery. Also, like the standard BID, the BID with Ah Accumulator tells the charger what kind of battery it is, its Ah capacity, how many cells it has and what start rate to use. In addition to those features, the BID with Ah Accumulator, provides lifetime Ah in and out of the forklift battery and lifetime average temperature -- both excellent measures of battery life used and remaining. Of course, the BID with Ah Accumulator also provides the charger with real time temperature data allowing the charger to deliver the optimum temperature compensated charge profile for that particular forklift battery.
