Product description

This unit is designed for charging open as well as
a wide range of closed lead acid batteries used
for passenger cars, motorcycles and certain other
vehicles – e. g. WET batteries (with liquid electro-
lyte), GEL batteries (with electrolyte in gel form) or
AGM (absorbent glass mat) batteries. The battery
capacity ranges from 6 V (1.2 Ah) to 6 V (14 Ah)
or from 12 V (1.2 Ah) to 12 V (120 Ah).
Automotive Aftermarket
The special device concept permits re-charging up
to virtually 100 % of the battery capacity.
The charger features a total of 4 charging modes
for different batteries in various states. This makes
charging more efficient and reliable.
In contrast to conventional products, the charger
has a special function (pulse charging) which per-
mits the re-charging of more or less flat batteries.
Trickle charging: The charger can be left perma-
nently connected to maintain the full battery charge.
After charging, the charger switches automatically
to the trickle charge mode.
Stringent precautions to prevent incorrect usage
and short circuits guarantee safe working. Thanks
to an integrated circuit, several seconds elapse after
selecting the charging mode before the charger
starts the charging process. This means that the
sparks frequently encountered during the connec-
tion process can be avoided.
In addition, the battery charger is controlled by an
internal MCU (micro-computer unit).
