12 Volt 1500 mA multi-stage recharger with universal AC input.
Includes an auto-sensing desulfating feature.
These are
state-of-the-art battery chargers that can be used on-demand, or left
permanently on the battery for maintenance and sulfation prevention. It uses
energy-saving techniques and and and advanced pulsed charging algorithm to
allow better control of gas recycling and plate corrosion. The desulfating
feature can rejuvenate batteries that have been left uncharged for extended
periods of time, such as motorcycle, ATV, and tractor batteries. The charger is
fully isolated from the mains, has universal AC input, and a removable AC cord.
Although designed for sealed lead acid and gel batteries, these will also
accurately charge flooded and automobile batteries. Charge lead acid, SLA,
sealed lead acid, Gel, AGM and VRLA batteries. |

Charging algorithm
This is the
"European" charge algorithm that does not float charge the battery at the last
stage, but still keeps it maintained. (see the graph below) |
Constant current/constant
voltage/float |
| Stage 1 desulfation. An 18 volt pulse
is applied to the battery. When the battery impedance shows the battery is
recovered the charger moves to "bulk charge." This could happen within seconds
if the battery is not sulfated. |
| Stage 2 bulk charge stage. 3.5 amps
is applied to the battery until the voltage rises to 14.4 volts. |
| Stage 4 pulsing charge. The current
is switched between 300mA and 3000 mA. If, during the 300mA part of the cycle
the battery drops below 13.3 volts a new pulse is started. If the voltage stays
above 13.3V for more than 30 minutes (verification stage) the charge is
terminated. |
| Stage 5. The voltage is measured and
then the voltage falls below 12.7 volts the charger returns to stage 2. |
