4-STAGE AUTOMATIC CHARGING
The AC008 & AC015 are fully automatic battery chargers with 4 charge stages.
Automatic charging protects your battery from being overcharged so you can leave the
charger connected to the battery indefinitely.
4-stage charging is a sophisticated charging technique that gives your battery longer life and
better performance compared to using traditional chargers.
Projecta’s Charge N’ Maintain Battery Chargers are suitable for most 12V automotive,
marine and Lithium batteries.
The 4 charge stages are:
Battery Health Check, Bulk, Absorption and Float.
BATTERY HEALTH CHECK,
Checks to make sure the battery can accept charge.
BULK (CONSTANT CURRENT)
The Bulk stage reduces charging time by charging the battery at the maximum rate (constant
current) to a set voltage, at which point the battery is approximately 80% charged.
ABSORPTION (CONSTANT VOLTAGE)
The absorption stage charges the battery to 100% by adjusting the charge rate allowing
the battery to absorb more power.
FLOAT
The Float stage maintains the battery at 100% charge without overcharging or damaging
the battery. This means the charger can be left connected to the battery indefinitely.
FEATURES
SWITCHMODE TECHNOLOGY
Using the latest technology in battery chargers, switchmode chargers convert 240V AC
power to 12V DC power using electronic components unlike traditional battery chargers that
rely on heavy transformers. This allows the charger to be lightweight and compact without
sacrificing on performance.
SPARK-FREE AND POLARITY PROTECTED
All Projecta Charge ‘N’ Maintain battery chargers are spark-free and are protected against
accidental reverse connection making them safer to use around batteries.
WEATHER PROOF IP65
The chargers are IP65 rated which means they can be used outside without getting
damaged. Although the charger is a 240VAC device care should be taken that the plug
is not submersed in water.
LED CHARGE INDICATOR
The LED Charge Indicator is bi-colour and is green when charging and fully charged and
yellow if there is a fault.
