Vector’s 12-volt Smart
Battery Chargers are fully automatic and Microprocessor
Controlled. The PURE DC output current provides a more
efficient, stable charge by regulating both voltage and amperage
through each stage of the charging process, depending on the
battery’s state of charge. This results in a higher quality
charge
without overcharging or
overheating of the battery while extending its serviceable life.
Conventional chargers start out at their maximum rated current
and steadily decline. Some models never shut off and can even
“cook” a battery. Vector’s Smart Battery Chargers PURE DC output
current provides a more efficient charge. The chopped, pulsating
DC current from conventional chargers produces a less efficient
charge.
Vector’s built-In
Microprocessor Control provides a new superior “smart” 3-stage
high efficiency charging technology.
Stage 1 BULK CHARGE/RAPID START – More efficient than
conventional type charges, even in very hot or very cold
temperatures. This charger delivers maximum charging amperage to
“wake up” any serviceable 12 volt battery and allows for quick
engine starting within minutes. When battery reaches a maximum
safe predetermined voltage, the digital sensors and
microprocessor automatically switch into stage 2 of the charging
process.
Stage 2
ABSORPTION CHARGE – Maintains the maximum possible safe
charge at a constant predetermined voltage. During this (stage
2) voltage absorption charge, the charging voltage remains
constant, while the actual charging current is reduced to allow
for the maximum proper internal chemical energy transfer.
Stage 3 TOP-OFF CHARGE – Automatically maintains and
reduces voltage to a predetermined level while adjusting current
is adjusted for a safe, effective full battery charge (step-down
regulation mode). Ideal for topping off batteries that have been
in storage. Automatic shut-off occurs at full charge. You can
trust this charger to never overcharge any battery, or cause
pressure leaking of battery acid, even if it is left unattended
while charging in hot summer temperatures.
The BATTERY RECONDITION/DESULFATE feature is a new
electronic pulse technology that reverses the natural insulating
sulfate build-up on battery plates, significantly improving the
charge carrying capability. Hook-up the charger, push the
RECONDITION button and the rest is automatic. Shorted
or open cells will not be fixed. |
