Battery Charger Features and Specifications
Switch Mode Efficiency
These battery chargers are >85% efficient in the transfer from AC to DC. Switch mode technology uses a switching regulator thats switches power transistors on and off to stabilise output voltage or current. They are used as a replacement to linear regulators to achieve higher efficiency. Greater efficiency means less power consumption. It also enables the production of much smaller and lighter products especially in the larger rated products.
Automatic 3-Stage ChargingThere is no need to set the charger at the rate or time required. These chargers will automatically do all that for you after connecting it to the battery. It will determine at what stage and rate your battery needs to be charged at . 3 Stage charging uses, boost, absorption and float stages to treat the battery properly while charging and will charge your battery much faster than more cheaper linear and 2 stage chargers.
Short Circuit Protection
If the leads are accidentally short circuited by touching each other or another metal object, the charger will protect itself. Simply switch the unit off momentarily and back on and the charger will resume normal functioning.
Reverse Polarity Protection
If the leads are accidentally connected in reverse, the charger will protect itself. Simply switch the unit off momentarily and back on and the charger will resume normal functioning.
DC Output Battery Clips
There are 2 for each unit, 1 red (positive +), the other is black (negative -). The plug-pack style products and desktop 4 Amp - 10 Amp models are connected to the chargers. The 15 Amp and 20 Amp models have a lead which is simply attached to screw terminals.
On/Off Switch
Each charger has its own on/off switch. It is at the rear of the unit and should be in the 'off' position when not in use.
Charge Status Indicators
These are on the front of the charger and are used to indicate the charge level reached.
