Charger Protective Functions; Overvoltage Protection; Care And Cleaning - VOLTCRAFT VC-AL1600 Notice D'emploi

The charging time focuses on the aforementioned parameters and can be roughly calculated by means of the follow-
ing formula (for a rough time estimation): Charging time (in hours) = battery capacity (in Ah) x 1.2 / charging current (A)
Example: Lead-gel battery 20 Ah, empty
1
Charging time approx. 5 h. = 20 Ah x 1.2/5 A
d) Charger protective functions
Spark-resistant short circuit and reverse polarity protection
1
• These functions protect the charger from damage if the battery cables are accidentally swapped.

Overvoltage protection

2
• This function protects sensitive electronic components in the charger from damage caused by high-voltage spikes.
Limitation of charging current
3
• This function prevents overheating and damage caused by short or excessive loads.
Automatic overheating protection
4
• Overheating protection prevents damage to the charger due to abnormal ambient temperatures or component
failure.
Please note that the in-built heat protection in the charger constantly monitors the operating temperature
of the electronics. If the operating temperature exceeds the pre-set safety limit, the current is reduced in
order to prevent overheating. This reduces the output current to avoid further temperature increases until
the temperature has dropped sufficiently for safe, full performance.

10. Care and cleaning

Never use aggressive detergents, rubbing alcohol or other chemical solutions, as these may damage the
casing or stop the product from functioning properly.
• Disconnect the product from the mains and disconnected any connected batteries before each cleaning procedure.
• Use a dry, lint-free cloth to clean the product.
