TEMPERATURE & SAFETY PROTECTION:
•
INTERNAL OVERHEAT PROTECTION:
The charger has a built-in overheat and
an overload electronic circuit. This protects the charger from being damage if
overheated or overloaded and will automatically decrease the charging current.
Once the units internal temperature decreases to a safe level, the charger will
resume normal charging.
•
SAFETY TIMER PROTECTION:
The charger has safety timers for every stage. If
the battery voltage doesn’t reach a certain voltage within a certain time, the unit
will stop charging as it’s highly likely that you’re attempting to charge a severely
discharged or heavily sulphated battery. If any of the stages time out, the charger
will immediately stop charging in order to protect the battery and the Charging, Full
and selected Battery Type LED’s will all flash.
•
REVERSE POLARITY:
The charger has reverse polarity protection. If the charger
output leads are connected reverse polarity, the Charging, Full and selected Battery
Type LED’s will all flash and the charger will be disabled. Simply unplug the charger
from AC power and then connect the output leads to the correct polarity.
•
SHORT CIRCUIT PROTECTION:
The charger output will be disabled if the output
leads are short circuited. This prevents the charger from being damaged if the positive
and negative crocodile clips or ring terminals accidentally touch each other while the
charger is turned on.
•
ECO MODE:
This Oz Charge battery charger has a built in ultra low power
consumption circuit. If AC power is connected and the battery is disconnected,
after 10 seconds the charger will automatically go into an ECO mode.
During this mode the power drawn is less than 0.36W which totals 0.01kWh
per day power consumption. If AC power is connected and the battery
is connected, once the battery is fully charged and during the long term
maintenance stage, the total power consumption is around 0.03kWh per day.
(Lead Acid Mode Only)
The Lead Acid battery type LED will flash when in Eco Mode.
