SECTION 2 - OPERATION
2.1 DESCRIPTION
The 046-0304 charger control provides fully automatic battery charging. The presence of a battery is
detected by the control and causes a charge cycle to begin automatically. The control has charging profiles
that handle standard flooded, gel-cell, and sealed lead-acid batteries, as well as other battery types such as
nickel-cadmium and Li. Each charging profile, or algorithm, uniquely controls the output current and voltage
to optimally charge a particular type of battery, based on battery manufacturer’s recommendations. The
control can be set to start charging at a certain time of day.
