Introduction - Woods Dialocharge D1230 User Manual

INTRODUCTION:

The WOODS DIALOcharge is a sophisticated electronic manually operated charger for most types of
batteries. It employs a primary phase-shift controlled triac to precisely supply charging voltages and
currents during the recharge cycle. The DIALOcharge successfully recovers deeply discharged
batteries.
The DIALOcharge covers a variable range of battery voltages which provides charging flexibility in the
automotive, marine, farming, domestic and commercial workshop arenas.
(eg: a 24V DIALOcharge will charge batteries of any voltage from single 2V cells to 24V systems)
Due to the precise power control provided by the DIALOcharge, it may be used for fast recharging of
operational batteries or for overnight trickle charge situations.
Originally suited to only Lead-Acid batteries, design improvements have included the following
features;
