Enerdrive ePOWER Battery Charger 24V 30A

Set and forget

The Enerdrive ePOWER Battery Charger 24V 30A is a fully automatic, set and forget charger. It's designed to quickly and accurately recharge your batteries using algorithms that help maximise service life. Multistage smart charging technology enables the charger to be connected to your battery banks permanently.

It's All About Lithium
The recent advances in high capacity Lithium battery technology have seen the need to develop a battery charger suited to their needs. With most traditional 'smart' chargers, their suitability to Lithium batteries is limited. Lithium batteries require a constant current / constant voltage charge algorithm and are unique in that almost every amp-hour of charge delivered by the charger is accepted as one amp hour into the battery, hence the need to deliver a constant current as long as possible. The Enerdrive ePOWER Battery Charger 24V 30A can be programmed for Lithium batteries. This setting delivers the full rated output of the charger constantly with the charger switching to power supply mode once the voltage peak is met (indicating a full battery bank).

The Display Panel
The Enerdrive ePOWER Battery Charger 24V 30A gives you all the information you need for the operation of your charger. At a glance, key information such as charger amps, battery voltage and charge state continually alternate on the screen.When in float / power supply mode, the load amps are displayed so you can see exactly what the charger is doing. The display also allows you to program all settings of the charger, as well as activate the silent mode. Silence when you need it - By pressing the SEL button for 5 seconds, the charger enters the Silent' mode that prohibits the fan from working. This ensures totally silent and safe operation at night, ideal if the charger is located close to your sleeping quarters. Silent mode limits current output to no more than 50%, and is programmed to remain on for 12 hours before automatically returning to a normal fan-on and full output' setting.

Enerdrive ePOWER Battery Charger 24V 30A Features:

• Multistage Charging: Fully automatic multistage battery charger with the ability to charge 3 separate battery banks
  
• Separate Battery Banks: Isolated charging design where battery bank one is separate from battery bank two and three
  
• Programmable: Battery bank 1 can be programmed with a different charge algorithm over banks 2 and 3
  
• Current Control: User adjustable current output (e.g. Dial the 60amp unit back to run off a 1kVA generator)
  
• Smart Charging: The ePOWER battery charger will regulate its output based on the loads connected to your battery banks
  
• Wide AC Input Range: Operates on both 110V / 60Hz and 240V / 50Hz
  
• LED Display: Easy to use set and select menu along with scrolling charger status
  
• Silent Mode: Disables the cooling fan for total silent operation at night or whenever required. Activation reduces charge output by half and locks out fan for 12 hours
  
• Temperature Sensor: Battery temperature sensor included with 3 meter cable
