Back Home         DC Series ' 5 Stage Intelligent Charger '

 Fully automatic battery chargers are suitable for most charging applications.  These microprocessor controlled intelligent chargers have 2 major benefits compared  with conventional chargers.

Advantages


Accurate 5 stage charging allows maximum charge into your batteries to minimize charge time, while additional sensitive charging cycles protect your investment by extending battery life.

Higher efficiency with synchronous rectification. Instead of using standard diodes in the rectification process, low loss Mosfets are used to minimize internal losses. This wasted energy would normally be dissipated as heat, however, with synchronous rectification your charger runs cooler and requires less power to operate.

A complete Australian made product, proudly designed and manufactured in Australia by a 100% Australian owned  company.


How It Works

      1.  Boost Mode Is a high current, high voltage charging cycle to allow maximum charge into the battery as quickly as possible.
      2.  Absorption Mode The high voltage is maintained while the current is reduced, until the battery is charged to its maximum capacity.
      3.  Float Mode The battery is now held at an optimal voltage with a small trickle charge, ensuring the battery is ready for action.
      4.  Silent Mode Remaining in float charge indefinitely has been shown to reduce battery life. Silent mode removes all charging and allows the battery to settle naturally, maximising the life of your battery. The battery is then continuously monitored and automatically topped up as required.
      5.  Equalisation Mode Every 90 days an equalisation cycle is performed to ensure that all cells in the battery are all at an equal state of charge. This prevents battery stratification while also reducing sulphation.
