Battery Chargers
There are many types of chargers available today.
They are usually rated by their start rate, the rate in amperes
that the charger will supply at the beginning of the charge
cycle. When selecting a charger, the charge rate should be
between 10% and 13% of the battery’s 20-hour AH capacity.
For example, a battery with a 20-hour capacity rating of 225
AH will use a charger rated between approximately 23 and 30
amps (for multiple battery charging use the AH rating of the
entire bank). Chargers with lower ratings can be used but
the charging time will be increased.
As a rule we recommend using a 3-stage charger.
Also called "automatic" or "smart" chargers. These chargers
prolong battery life with their well programmed charging profile.
These chargers usually have three distinct charging stages:
bulk, acceptance, and float.
Charging batteries properly requires administering
the right amount of current at the right voltage. Most charging
equipment automatically regulates these values. Some chargers
allow the user to set these values.
The majority of our range of chargers will provide
Short Circuit Protection, Reverse Polarity Protection, High
Temperature Protection, Constant Current Bulk Charge, 3 Stage
Charging and a Constant Voltage Float feature to hold the
battery at peak charge without overcharging!
