Description
The Guest 2815M ChargePro is a solid-state “3-stage” battery
charger and is lightweight, silent and completely automatic. It can
produce a full 15 amps of 12 volt DC charging current while using
much less AC current than other chargers. This revolutionary new
design can rapidly recharge and individually maintain 2 separate
battery banks at one time. If a DC short or overload occurs, the
charger will reduce its output voltage to a safe level, then
automatically return to normal after the overload is removed. Its
water resistant polycarbonate housing and urethane coated circuitry
make it ideal for harsh environments. Every Guest 28l5M charger
is tested under load before shipment to assure superior reliability.
Application
This battery charger is ideal for a wide variety of installations using
12 volt lead-acid or gel-cell batteries. Some of the most popular
battery configurations are:
•
Two Group 24 batteries
•
Two Group 27 batteries
•
One Group 4D battery and one Group 24 battery
Installations using more or larger batteries are possible, but it may
require a longer time to recharge the batteries in these installations.
Longer recharging times can also result if there is equipment on
board that requires substantial amounts of DC current while at
dockside, such as:
•
a DC only refrigerator or ice maker
•
a DC only air conditioner or heater
a large number of 12 volt DC lights in use
Iwo different versions of the Guest 281 5M are available:
•
The model 2815M11 15 for 115 volt AC input, and
•
The model 2815M1230 for 230 volts AC input.
Both versions will function with either 50 Hz or 60 Hz AC inputs.
