TEMPERATURE & SAFETY PROTECTION:
•
INTERNAL OVERHEAT PROTECTION:
The charger has a built-in overheat and an
overload electronic circuit. This protects the charger from being damage if overheated or
overloaded and will automatically decrease the charging current. Once the units internal
temperature decreases to a safe level, the charger will resume normal charging.
•
SAFETY TIMER PROTECTION:
The charger has safety timers for every stage. If the
battery voltage doesn’t reach a certain voltage within a certain time, the unit will stop
charging as it’s highly likely that you’re attempting to charge a severely discharged or
heavily sulphated battery. If any of the stages time out, the charger will immediately stop
charging in order to protect the battery. This will be indicated with the fault LED flashing
slowly.
•
REVERSE POLARITY:
The charger has reverse polarity protection. If the charger output
leads are connected reverse polarity, the fault LED will come on and the charger will be
disabled. Simply unplug the charger from AC power and then connect the output leads
to the correct polarity.
•
SHORT CIRCUIT PROTECTION:
The charger will automatically turn off if the output leads
are short circuited and the fault LED will come on. This prevents the charger from being
damaged if the positive and negative crocodile clips or ring terminals accidently touch
each other while the charger is turned on.
•
ECO MODE:
This Oz Charge battery charger has a built in ultra low power consumption
circuit. If AC power is connected and the battery is disconnected, after 10 seconds the
charger will automatically go into an ECO mode. During this mode the power drawn
is less than 0.36W which totals 0.01kWh per day power consumption. If AC power is
connected and the battery is connected, once the battery is fully charged and during the
long term maintenance stage, the total power consumption is around 0.03kWh per day.
(Lead Acid Mode Only)
The Lead Acid battery type LED will flash when in Eco Mode.
