Product features

Q
This appliance has been designed for charging a
variety of SlA batteries (sealed lead acid batteries),
as mainly used in cars, motorbikes and several other
vehicles. They may be of types e.g. WET (with liquid
electrolyte), GEl (with mit gel-type electolyte) or AGM
(absorbed glass mat) batteries. A special design of
the appliance (also named „three-phase-charging
strategy") enables the recharging of the batttery to
almost 100 % of its original capacity. Connecting
the battery for a long period to the battery charger
is also a good way of ensuring that your battery is
kept in optimum condition.

Operation

Q

Connection

Q
j
B efore starting the charging or discharging
procedure on a permanently installed battery

Select charging mode

Q
You can select different charging modes for charging
different batteries at different ambient temperatures.
In comparison with conventional battery charging
stations, this appliance has a special function for
reusing an empty battery or rechargeable battery.
You can recharge an empty battery / rechargeable
battery. Safe charging is ensured by means of a
protection function against incorrect connection and
into the short circuiting. Due to the installed electronics, the
12
charging station does not begin operation directly
after connecting the battery, but only starts after a
charging mode has been selected.
This avoids sparking, which often occurs when
connecting. The battery charger is controlled by an
internal MCU (Micro-Computer Unit).
