USER INSTRUCTION ML314B-SERIES
4-CHANNEL BATTERY CHARGER MULTI CHEMISTRY
General: The battery charger is designed for demanding Ground Mobile use. The charger
can be supplied with nominal supply voltage 230VAC or 12/24VDC from vehicles. Two
different power cables are used, one for DC-supply and one for AC-supply. The battery
charger has only one input power socket.
Charging: The charger is very easy to operate; it has no switches nor are other
adjustments necessary for the charging process. Connected batteries are charged
independently of each other.
Batteries which can be charged are rechargeable LI-ION batteries with a nominal battery
voltage of 3.6–28.8V (1-8 cells) and NICD batteries 2.4-24V (2-20 cells).
ML314B: Max charging current per channel: 2A (max total output: 8A).
ML314B-4A: Max charging current per channel: 4A (max total output: 16A)
Smart adapter: The battery adapter (the connection box on top of the charger) sets how
the charging channels shall be configured. As an example the charger can be configured
by the adapter for connecting the charging outputs in parallel, making it possible to charge
two batteries using ML314B with 4A (8A with ML314B-4A) or one battery with 8A (16A with
ML314B-4A).
It is not possible to use the charger without a smart battery adapter. The battery adapter
contains data about battery chemistry, charging voltage, charging current, timer etc. The
charger reads the data and adjusts the charging parameters to fit exactly the battery types
the battery adapter is designed for. By replacing the battery adapter, other types of
batteries can be charged. The size of the battery to charge sets if the batteries can be
fitted directly into the battery adapter or must be connected by cable.
The battery charger is manufactured in Sweden by NATEK AB
