• Charger output characteristics are adjustable to charge gel cell and sealed or conventional replaceable liquid electrolyte
deep-cycle lead-acid batteries. Different charge characteristics are selected by a switch on the front of the charger.
• Patented electronic circuit monitors battery state of charge and automatically turns charger off when the batteries reach full
charge.
• Line voltage compensation produces consistent charger output for AC supply voltage variations of ± 3% from nominal.
• Convection cooled design for maximum reliability and minimum maintenance.
