5 Intended use
The battery charger can charge or supply a float charge voltage to 12 V batteries
used to generate power in vehicles or on boats.
The battery charger can be used on the following types of battery:
•
Lead automotive batteries
•
Gel batteries
•
Fleece batteries (AGM)
•
Maintenance-free batteries
A
The battery charger is only suitable for use indoors.
The battery charger is not suitable for mounting in one fixed place. The wall bracket
(accessory; ref. no. 9102500079) must be used for this purpose.
6 Technical description
The battery charger charges batteries that are used as a source of voltage on board
vehicles or boats, or supplies them with a float charge voltage to ensure they are not
discharged.
The service life of most lead batteries is reduced by sulphation: lead sulphate forms
into large, smooth crystals over the course of time and the amorphous, spongy
structure disappears. The ability to recharge and therefore the charging capacity
gradually decreases and the battery ages.
The battery charger operates using specific frequencies in parts of its charging curve.
This causes the crystals to vibrate in their resonant frequency. They decompose into
their amorphous structure. Their molecules can be integrated back into the charging
process which in turn increases the charging voltage, starting current and the
capacity of the battery again.
All lead batteries are protected from premature ageing by regular charging using the
battery charger.
The battery charger can be operated in three operating modes:
•
Mode 1: Charge mode with 14.4 V
This mode is used for lead, gel and maintenance-free batteries.
NOTICE!
The battery charger may not be used on other types of batteries (e.g.
NiCd, NiMH etc.) or defective batteries (e.g. with a cell short circuit).
