Introduction
The VETUS fully automatic battery charger is extremely suitable
for fast and efficient charging of many kinds of lead/acid batter-
ies (both open and gastight batteries, starting, semi-traction
and traction batteries, fluid filled or gel based).
Refer to the technical details for the maximum charging current.
Because the charging current is fully automatically regulated
according to an optimum charging type, the charger can always
stay connected; even during winter storage.
The battery charger has 3 outputs, to charge 3 separate batter-
ies at the same time (type BC120202 has 2 outputs!).
The battery charger is made for mains voltages of both 115 and
230 volts AC current (adjustable).
