3. SWITCHMODE TECHNOLOGY
Using the latest technology in battery chargers, switch mode chargers convert
110V/220-240V AC power to 12V 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.
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 lithium battery charger will automatically protection if the voltage is
higher than 15.5V.
OVER TEMPERATURE PROTECTION
Internal temperature is above 65+/-5oC
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.
