INTRODUCTION
The LPC 20 is a low profile, completely automatic, single channel battery float charger designed for
vehicles with a single battery system. The LPC 20 improves upon package size and parasitic systems.
The charger is also ruggedized to withstand the shock and vibration encountered by vehicle mounted
equipment.
FEATURES
I. LPC 20 BATTERY CHARGER
• Automatic current limiting
• Remote Battery charge/condition indicator display
•
LED status indicators
•
AUX output with AC or DC mode rocker switch and automatic fuse protection
• Reverse polarity protected
•
Dual AC input fuse protection
II. CHARGE CONTROLS & ELECTRONIC REMOTE SENSING
The LPC 20 contains a precision voltage controller to maintain the battery’s charge. Using high-
frequency switching technology the output terminal voltage is compared to a reference voltage, any
error detected is then used to control the charger output at the desired level. There is no “trickle
charge” and therefore no danger of overcharging and water boil-off.
III. AUTOMATIC CURRENT LIMITING
When batteries are severely discharged, some battery chargers can be overloaded due to the high
charging current required. The LPC 20 contains an automatic current limit. The current limit feature
limits the output current to 20 amperes when charging a deeply discharged battery, or if the starter
cranks the engine while charging. The current limiter thus eliminates the need for an ignition interlock
circuit.
IV. BATTERY SELECTOR SWITCH (LEAD-ACID/AGM OR GEL-CELL)
