CONCEPT
This Battery Charger is specially designed to be used with 12V & 24V batteries
such as lead-acid batteries, maintenance-free batteries / AGM / EFB starter
batteries, etc.
The Charger is using an intelligent microcomputer processing chip, self-
developed software technology, and advanced PWM pulse modulation technology.
The battery Charger has the advantages of small size, safety, convenience,
high conversion rate, stable output current, large capacity, and long-time
full load operation.
It is a new generation of a green environmental protection Charger with short
circuit protection, reverse-polarity protection, overheat protection, low
voltage protection, and stable and reliable performance safety.
Due to the PWM charging mode, this charger increases the rate of battery
charging, reduces the water loss rate, and prevents the battery from
discharging. At the same time, it reduces the damage rate of the battery plate
to the lowest value, which greatly improves the battery service life.
CHARGING SCHEDULE
Current | Battery capacity | Charging time |
---|---|---|
5 A | 15 Ah – 50 Ah | 4,5 h -15 h |
10 A | 30 Ah – 100 Ah | 4,5 h -15 h |
25 A | 60 Ah – 250 Ah | 4,5 h -15 h |
The above data is for reference only. The actual charging time is based on the true capacity of the battery and the selected charging current. A partially charged battery will take less time to charge than a fully discharged battery.
User tips:
The life of your battery will be considerably longer if the following advice is taken:
- Prevent the battery from being discharged too far. The battery life is shortened considerably in this way. Should a battery be deeply discharged, recharge it as soon as possible.
- Always allow the Battery Charger to complete a charge once started. Avoid small “uncompleted charges”.
- Check the liquid level of the battery every month and, if necessary, fill it up with distilled water.
- Clean the terminals of your battery regularly to prevent deposits. Put a little bit of vaseline on the terminals.
- If the vehicle is seldom used, the battery will discharge. Therefore it needs to be charged regularly to maximum capacity. In this way, malfunctioning can be prevented.
