Features
•
Charger output characteristics are adjustable to charge gel cell and sealed or conventional replaceable liquid electrolyte
deep-cycle lead-acid batteries. Different charge characteristics are selected by a switch on the front of the charger.
•
Patented electronic circuit monitors battery state of charge and automatically turns charger off as battery reaches full charge
•
Line voltage compensation produces consistent charger output for AC supply voltage variations of + 3% from nominal.
•
Convection-cooled design for maximum reliability and minimum maintenance.
INTRODUCTION
The Dual-Mode wheelchair battery charger is
designed to recharge deep-cycle, lead-acid batteries
of conventional replaceable electrolyte or gel cell
and sealed "maintenance-free" design. The different
charge characteristics required by these different
types of battery design are selected by sliding the
"BATTERY TYPE" switch to the correct setting. A
patented electronic circuit turns the charger on and
off automatically.
Batteries used on wheelchairs are subjected to
severe deep-cycle duty on a daily basis. For this
reason, it is important that only Deep-Cycle batteries
be used.
