INTRODUCTION
The Auto Charge 2000 is a compact, completely automatic, dual channel battery charger designed for
vehicles with two batteries. The charger is ruggedized to withstand the shock and vibration encountered
by vehicle mounted equipment.
FEATURES
I. AUTO CHARGE 2000 BATTERY CHARGER
• Independent charge controls for each battery
• Electronic remote sensing of true battery voltages, eliminates the need for sensing wires
• Automatic current limiting and apportionment
• Built-in Battery Saver
• Remote dual battery charge/condition indicator
•
Power “ON” LED indicator
• Battery Saver overload indicator
II. CHARGE CONTROLS & ELECTRONIC REMOTE SENSING
The charger contains two independent charge controls, one for each battery. This allows each battery
to be independently charged while maintaining battery isolation. Each battery voltage is remotely
sensed, electronically, eliminating the need for four sense wires. Each of the charge controls is com-
pletely automatic and stops charging the battery when it is fully charged. There is no trickle charge
and therefore no danger of overcharging and water boil-off.
III. AUTOMATIC CURRENT LIMITING
The charger contains automatic current limiting at 15 amperes. This is a total current limit for the two
batteries combined. The charger automatically apportions the current to each battery. Either bat-
tery can draw the total 15 amperes. When charging unequally charged batteries, the lower charged
battery receives a higher charge rate. When the batteries are equal, the current is shared equally
until they are fully charged at which time the current goes to zero.
