- Product description
This customisable 5-stage charger can charge each of the three battery banks with either 30A or 50A. Or the Phoenix 1+1 model delivers 3A to the starter battery and the rest to the house battery. 24V models are available with 16A/25A charging. Thanks to the Bluetooth function, you can monitor the charger and set alarms directly from your mobile phone. Adaptive, intelligent, dynamic charging functions - see data sheet below.
Automatic voltage compensation
The charger compensates for the voltage drop across the DC wiring by slightly increasing the output voltage when the DC current increases. Please refer to the manual for details.
Avoiding damage due to excessive gassing: BatterySafe mode
If a high charging current in combination with a high absorption voltage has been selected to charge a battery quickly, the charger prevents damage from excessive gassing by automatically limiting the voltage increase as soon as the gassing voltage is reached.
Less maintenance and ageing when the battery is not in use: storage mode
Storage mode is always activated when the battery has not been discharged for 24 hours. In storage mode, the float voltage is reduced to 2.2 V/cell (13.2 V for a 12 V battery) to minimise gas formation and corrosion of the positive plates. Once a week, the voltage is raised back to the absorption level to "equalise" the battery. This function prevents electrolyte stratification and sulphation, one of the main causes of premature battery failure.
