Two DC outputs for charging two batteries
The main DC terminal can supply the full output current. The second output, intended for
charging a starter battery, is limited to 1A and has a slightly lower output voltage.
Increasing service life of the battery: temperature compensation
The temperature sensor (supplied with the product) serves to reduce charging voltage
when battery temperature rises. This is particularly important for maintenance-free
batteries, which could otherwise dry out by overcharging.
