A standard Constant Voltage (Automatic)
SLA Battery charger can be used to charge
the Sentry Lithium batteries however the
following requirements must be met:
•
Charger must not contain Sulphation/
Equalisation setting. If so then this step
needs to be turned off.
• Maximum charge voltage of 14.6V
• Recommended float charge voltage 13.9
+/- 0.1V.
• It is not recommended to have batteries sit
on float charge for an extended period of
time.
• Please ensure your charger is matched
to the current rating of your battery and
take note of the recommended charge
current in the batteries specification sheet
– Normally half the batteries rated capacity.
For example SNL12V100S – Recommended
charge current = 50A.
C – 35 C
