The following table describes the display of LED lights at different
stages of charging:
Q: Can I leave the battery continuously on the
charger?
A: Yes, the charger will go into "maintenance mode" and keep
the battery topped off.
Q: Can I draw power from the battery when the
charger is connected?
A: Probably. . . There is some pulsing going on
with the charger which your equipment might not be happy with (it is a
pulse-charger, 1 second pulses with 20mS gaps), but if you combine this with
the battery the battery will fill in the gaps, so the ripple is no more than it
would see in an automotive application.
Q: If I discharge the battery
while the charger is attached will the charger maintain a full
charge?
A: Yes, When the charger detects that the battery voltage has
dropped it knows that the battery needs to be charged and goes into "bulk
charge" mode again automatically.
Q: Can the charger be left connected to
the battery when the charger is not turned on, or when the input voltage of the
charger has been cut off?
A: Yes.
Applications:
Charging 24 Volt wheel chairs, bicycles, and scooters in 24V and 36V
systems.
Fully automatic without intervention.
Output short circuit and battery polarity protections. Input low voltage and
high voltage connections.
Charging 24 volt batteries from a 24V or 36V vehicle.
Charging 24 volt trolling motor batteries from a 24V or 36V boat.
Four stage charge--constant current, constant voltage, fill, and float. This
charges your battery the fastest way possible without damaging the battery. It
is suitable for any size 24 volt lead acid battery.
Installation
Notes:
- A qualified automotive electrical technician should be used
to wire the charger into the vehicle.
- The PBCD180-24-24 converts 24 volt or 36 volt power into 24
volt power, so for a 7.5 amp output the input needs over 8.3 amps. Make sure
that the wires connecting the charger are adequate for the current and the
length of the run. If the voltage drop in the wires are too much the "Low
Battery Voltage" alarm will come on. Wires that are too small may also overheat
and melt the insulation, causing a dangerous situation. 12 gauge is usually
adequate for runs up to 20 feet of wire (adding together the positive and
negative wire lengths).
- PowerStream can supply the connector that fits into many
wheelchairs ( we have the 3 pin XLR style in stock
). Consult the manufacturer or a wheel chair technician to obtain the proper
cable and plug. (If you know about such things please educate us!)
- It is OK to leave the unit on the charger when the power to
the charger goes on and off.
- Mount the charger in an area that will get adequate
ventilation and will be free from rain, spray, or excessive dust.
