5 Technical description
The battery charger charges batteries that are used on board vehicles to generate
power or supplies them with a retention voltage so that they do not discharge. It is
automatically charging the batteries and maintaining them with float voltage after
charging has finished. Therefore the battery charger can be plugged in during
longer periods of time without damaging the batteries.
A control lamp on the device enables constant monitoring in the battery charger.
The device has the following protective systems:
•
Overvoltage protection
•
Overheating protection
•
Overload protection
The cooling system uses convection cooling to surrounding air.
WARNING! Danger of explosions
•
Do not charge batteries with a cell short circuit. The oxyhydrogen
they produce can cause explosions.
•
Do not charge nickel cadmium and non-rechargeable batteries with
the charger. The cases of these batteries can burst explosively.
