3-Stage Battery Charger
Your APS recharges your battery faster than
conventional chargers because its three-stage
charger profile (Bulk, Absorption and Float) are
optimized, regardless of the type of battery you use
(Wet or Gel).* In addition, the advanced charging
system protects against over-charge and over-dis-
charge to ensure a longer service life from your bat-
tery.
* The Absorption and Float levels vary according to battery
type, which can be set to either “Wet” or “Gel”cell.
Voltage Regulation
(Select models only)
“VR” APS models regulate incoming AC power by
automatically “boosting” or “cutting” the voltage to
keep your equipment running through brownouts
and overvoltages without draining battery power.
Load Sharing
(Select models only)
Select APS models can be set to limit their own
charging functions so they can charge their
batteries at the quickest rate possible without over-
loading their power input circuits.
Frequency-Controlled
Inverter Output
All APS models feature Frequency-Controlled
Inverter Output which allows devices dependent on
AC line frequency (such as computers, VCRs, CD
players, tape recorders, clocks and turntables) to
operate properly.
Circuit Board Protection
A silicone conformal coating safeguards the
circuit boards against moisture.
