divisions. These chargers represent the latest technology within battery charging and will give the batteries optimum life.
It is well suited to battery sizes up to approx. 300Ah and can maintenance charge the battery for an unlimited time. The charger
can stand parallel charging up to 17A parallel consumption at the same time as it charges the batteries.
The charging voltage is
temperature compensated with external sensor, except for chargers with LiFePO4 charging curve.
