1.3 Also charges Li-ion (LiFePO
₄
) batteries: see table
LiFePO
₄
batteries are charged with a simple bulk – absorption –
float algorithm.
1.4 Internal temperature sensor
Measures ambient temperature during the charge/test phase and
compensates for temperature during absorption. Measures
temperature again when in low current mode during float or
storage.
1.5 Totally silent
No fan.
1.6 Protected against overheating
Output current will reduce as temperature increases up to 60°C,
but the charger will not fail.
1.7 Reverse polarity protected
No sparks, short circuit proof and reverse polarity protected.
The charger will start charging even when the battery has
been discharged to zero volt.
2 Safety instructions
• Never charge a frozen battery.
• Never place the charger on top of the battery when charging.
• Always provide for proper ventilation during charging.
• Avoid covering the charger.
• A battery being charged could emit explosive gasses. Prevent
sparks close to the battery
• Battery acid is corrosive. Rinse immediately with water if acid
comes into contact with skin.
• If the charger has not switched to float or storage within 30
hours, this is an indication of an error. Manually disconnect the
charger.
• Batteries consume water during use and charging. For flooded
batteries where water can be added, the water level should be
