INTRODUCTION
The Magellan Powertronics MCRII Series single phase battery charger / DC power
system utilises phase controlled AC to DC conversion technique together with the
latest micro-processor hardware and software to produce advanced charging
systems suitable for Lead Acid, Nickel-Cadmium or Lithium Iron batteries.
The MCRII charger is a constant voltage type, with current limit and two voltage
levels:
float and boost. The boost level is used to recharge the battery whilst the float
is used to keep the battery in a fully charged condition. For applications using sealed
Lead Acid batteries, the boost function may be disabled.
The boost mode can be initiated manually or automatically. The manual boost is
initiated by depressing the momentary boost button and the status is indicated on the
LCD display. The charger then remains in the boost for a period of 0 to 24 hours
(selectable) after which it will automatically revert to float mode. The automatic boost
is activated if the current into the battery exceeds a pre-set limit for a pre-set time.
The automatic boost is also controlled by a boost timer (0 to 24H).
