These battery chargers, especially designed for marine use,
have a four stage IUoU charge programme In the first Bulk
charge stage, the battery receives a continuous maximum current
charge.
Once the battery is recharged to approximately 75% of its full
capacity, the charger switches automatically to a constant voltage
Absorption stage for the remai
When the battery is fully charged, the charger will maintain this
charge phase for 15 minutes
(providing the charge is under 6.25 % of the full charge current)
and then switches over to the Float
charge stage. In this stage the battery charger maintains the full
charge without overloading the
battery. It compensates for self-discharge and floats any loads on
the battery.
After being in the float stage for 12 days, the charger implements
the final Reconditioning stage. In
this stage the charger will switch to the Bulk stage for 85 minutes
only, to ensure that the battery
stays in optimum condition.
With easy access dipswitches, the maximum charge voltage can be
adapted to suit the type of
battery being charged. These chargers are suitable for all AC power
sources from 90 V to 265 V. The
active Power Factor Correction feature takes care of any unwanted
line disturbances.
Vetus battery chargers are extensively tested, including a 2G
vibration test, to meet VETUS's quality standards and ensure long
term operation.
These new chargers are compatible with Lead Acid, Li-ion, Gel and
AGM batteries, and can be
connected to a remote control panel (BCRP) and a battery
temperature sensor (BCTS). The chargers
have a separate alarm contact and the fan speed can be adjusted for
comfort reasons.
A trickle charger with maximum output of 2A is provided on models
BC12151, BC12252 and BC12352
