SWITCHMODE TECHNOLOGY
Using the latest technology in battery chargers, switchmode chargers convert 240V AC power to 12V DC power using
electronic components unlike traditional battery chargers that rely on heavy transformers. This allows the charger to be
lightweight and compact without sacrificing on performance.
SPARKPROOF & POLARITY PROTECTION
Prevents the output leads from sparking due to accidental reverse connection or short circuit, making the charger safer
to use around batteries.
SHORT CIRCUIT PROTECTION
The charger provides protection against excessive currents, short circuits and overloads. If such a fault is detected
during charging, the charger will automatically terminate the charging program.
OVER VOLTAGE PROTECTION
The charger will provide protection against voltages that exceed the acceptable voltage rating. If such a fault is detected
during charging, the charger will automatically terminate the charging program.
OVER TEMPERATURE PROTECTION
If the charger's internal temperature limit is exceeded, the over temperature protection will be triggered to protect the
unit against overheating.
ADJUSTABLE CHARGE VOLTAGE
The charger's voltage can be selected to suit 6V or 12V batteries.
LITHIUM BMS ACTIVATION
When a Lithium battery BMS shutdown has been triggered you can reactivate the BMS and the charger will raise the
voltage above 11V then will begin recharging the battery.
START AID
Fast high current charging to aid in starting a 12V vehicle with a flat battery.
LCD DISPLAY
User friendly LCD display screen, which will show the following functions:
Charge Mode
Charge Voltage
Charging Current
State of Charge
