Intelligent 6V/12V/24V 15A Battery Charger

6v-12v-24v-15a-charger-jaycarAn intelligent battery charger suitable for flooded and gel lead acid batteries including deep cycle batteries at 6V, 12V or 24V. The microprocessor controlled unit provides 4 stages of charging, Soft Start, Bulk Charge, Absorption and Float which assists in the batteries life expectancy and performance. An auto detection feature provides a user friendly experience, which can be pre-programmed or manually set for greater control. Should a blackout occur or AC input power be lost during a charging operation the memory function will resume charging once power is re-established. Other features include temperature/voltage compensation, reverse polarity/short circuit protection and a battery status indicator. Ideal for cars, motorcycles, caravans and boats with battery capacities between 20-200Ah. It’s also ultra-portable with a handy storage pocket in the back for the leads.

12V 10A Intelligent Switchmode 5 Stage Battery Charger

12v-10a-charger-jaycarA robust 12V battery charger packed with useful features to safely charge and maintain the life of your batteries. The front control panel allows you to control the battery type being charged (see below for supported types), the desired charge rate, the display mode (current, battery voltage, charge percentage). It will also indicate if there is a battery fault or if the polarity is reversed in which case the charging will immediately stop to protect the battery. Features positive/negative fly leads with clips that are neatly tucked away into a compartment at the rear of the unit.

 

 

 

 

There are 5 stages of operation:

1. Soft Start – tests the battery condition. A severely discharged battery needs charging with a reduced current until the voltage reaches 12V.

2. Bulk charging – delivers most of the charge (60-80%). The charger delivers maximum current until the terminal voltage has risen to the set level.

3. Absorption – completes the charging up to nearly 100% at a constant voltage. The current tapers off as the battery reaches full capacity.

4. Float – maintenance charging at constant voltage, keeping the battery at 100% charge.

5. Pulse – long term maintenance charging. Cycles the battery between 80 and 100% charge for maximum battery life. The battery receives a pulse, starting a new charge cycle, when voltage drops to set limit. The charger can be connected for months keeping the batteries fresh.
