BatteryMINDer desulfates any time it is outputting current.
• Temperature Compensation
light is
GREEN
if the temperature is over
27°C/80°F,
BLUE
if the temperature is under 21°C/70°F. BatteryMINDer
CEC model includes an ambient temperature sensor which allows it to
vary the output voltage (-0.112V/°C) as necessary to properly charge
your 48V battery set. Batteries charged at higher temperatures without
compensation will overcharge and may out-gas. Batteries charged at
lower temperatures without compensation will undercharge allowing
sulfation to build, possibly leading to the battery set freezing. By using
temperature compensation, the BatteryMINDer ensures your battery set
will never over or under charge, even in extreme conditions.
Battery Type Characteristics:
• Odyssey / PLT (pure lead tin)
uses heavy duty construction packed with
pure lead plates which mean that you get more power - twice the overall
power and three times the life of conventional batteries.
• The
Wet
cell comes in two styles; Serviceable and Maintenance free. Both
are filled with electrolyte and are basically the same.
• AGM (absorbed glass mat)
is a special design glass mat designed to
wick the battery electrolyte between the battery plates. AGM batteries
contain only enough liquid to keep the mat wet with the electrolyte and if
the battery is broken no free liquid is available to leak out.
• Sealed batteries
are "maintenance free" and won't emit any corrosive
fumes like flooded batteries do.
• Gel Cell
batteries contain a silica type gel that the battery electrolyte
is suspended in. This thick paste like material allows electrons to flow
between plates but will not leak from the battery if the case is broken.
Usually a Gel Cell will be identified with the label "GEL" on the battery.
•
More often than not AGM Batteries are mistakenly identified as Gel Cell
Batteries. Both batteries have similar traits; such as being non-spillable,
deep cycle, may be mounted in any position, low self discharge, safe for
use in limited ventilation areas, and may be transported via Air or Ground
safely without special handling.
