The Inteli-Power Four-Stage Charging
System
Our patented system is
designed to provide the optimum charging voltage at all times during
the recharge cycle. Battery voltage is constantly monitored by the
microprocessor, which then automatically selects one of four operating
modes as follows:
- Storage
Mode - Activated automatically when the 12 Volt systems are turned
off and the battery has been fully charged for a period of 30 hours.
The digital display will show the word STORAGE when the unit is in this
mode.
- Normal
Mode - Automatically selected once the battery reaches the 90%
charged level. This lower voltage safely completes the charge and the
unit will remain in this Normal Mode as long as the 12 Volt systems are
being operated. The digital display will show the word NORMAL when the
unit is in this mode.
- Exclusive
Equalize Mode - Prevents battery stratification and power robbing
sulfation. When the charger is in the Storage Mode, the microprocessor
automatically equalizes the battery by increasing the voltage from 13.2
Volts to 14.4 Volts for 15 minutes every 21 hours. This higher voltage
remixes the electrolyte mixture of water and sulfuric acid. Battery
manufacturers recommend that Lead-Acid batteries be equalized every 30
days or 10 discharge cycles.
PD2100 Series MARINE BATTERY CHARGER SAFETY AND RELIABILITY FEATURES:
|
Four-Stage Charging System-
patented Microprocessor constantly monitors battery voltage and
automatically selects one of the four charging modes; BOOST, NORMAL,
STORAGE or EQUALIZE.
|
|
3 Diode Isolated Outputs-
allows the converter/charger to charge three separate banks of
batteries. Each output is capable of handling the full rated current of
the charger.
|
|
Patented Reverse Battery
Protection- prevents converter/charger from being damaged if the
batteries are accidentally connected to the charger in reverse.
|
|
Over Voltage Protection-
prevents high voltage spikes from damaging the converter/charger.
|
|
Electronic Current Limiting-
limits the output current to the maximum rating of the charger to
prevent overheating and damage caused by shorts or excessive loads.
|
|
Intelligent Cooling Fan-
only runs as fast as required to maintain a more constant operating
temperature inside the converter/charger. This feature reduces thermal
stress caused by fans that cycle on and off.
|
|
Regulated Output Voltage-
prevents AC Line voltage variations from being transmitted to the
batteries and 12 volt circuits.
|
|
Automatic Over-Temperature
Shutdown- prevents converter/charger damage in the event the fan is
unable to cool the charger due to inadequate compartment ventilation.
|
|
Series or Parallel
Connection- Inteli-Power Converter/Chargers can be connected in
series to provide a combination 12/24 Volt system, or in parallel to
provide more current.
|
SPECIAL FEATURES:
|
Digital Meter - Displays
Current, Voltage, Operation Mode, Blown Fuse Indication, and Battery
Type.
|
|
Programmable in the Field-
to provide optimum charging profiles for lead-acid, gel-cell, or AGM
batteries.
