VMAXTANKS BC8S1205A Instruction Manual page 5

Float
The Float stage maintains the battery at 100% charge without overcharging or
damaging the battery. This means the charger can be left connected to the battery
indefinitely.
Pulse
Maintaining the battery at 95-100% capacity. The charger monitors the battery
voltage and gives a pulse when necessary to keep the battery fully charged. The
battery charger has an 8-step fully automatic charging cycle. The cycle is repeated
infinitely. If the terminal voltage drops below a lower limit, the charger automatically
goes back to the beginning of the charging curve.
3. SWITCHMODE TECHNOLOGY
Using the latest technology in battery chargers, switch mode chargers convert
110V/220-240V AC power to 12V/24V DC power using electronic components
unlike traditional battery chargers that rely on heavy transformers. This allows
the charger to be light weight and compact without sacrificing on performance.
4. PROTECTIVE FEATURES
POLARITY PROTECTION
Prevents the output leads from sparking due to accidental reverse connection or
short circuit, making the charger safer to use around batteries.
OUTPUT SHORT PROTECTION
Short circuit connection of the clips: Check clips are not touching each other OR
Check the clips are correctly connected to the battery.
NON BATTERY LINK PROTECTION
If battery charger connects with non battery load, it will go into protection state.
DISCONNECT PROTECTION
The charger has entered the energy save mode. This happens if the charger isn't
connected to the battery in 2 minutes.
OVER VOLTAGE PROTECTION
The 12V charger will automatically protection if the voltage is higher than 17.5V.
The 24V charger will automatically protection if the voltage is higher than 35V.
OVER TEMPERATURE PROTECTION
Internal temperature is above 65
COOLING FAN
The charger is fitted with a thermostatically controlled fan to cool onboard
electronics and maintain charging performance. The cooling fan will engage
automatically when there is a high load on the battery or there is sufficient heat build
up.
