Adaptive 4-stage charge characteristic: bulk absorption float storage

The Phoenix Charger features a microprocessor controlled ‘adaptive’ battery management system that can be preset to suit different types of batteries. The ‘adaptive’ feature will automatically optimise the process relative to the way the battery is being used.

 

The right amount of charge: variable absorption time

Preventing damage due to excessive gassing: the BatterySafe mode (see fig. 2 below)

Less maintenance and aging when the battery is not in use: the Storage mode (see fig. 1 & 2 below)

The storage mode kicks in whenever the battery has not been subjected to discharge during 24 hours. In thestoragemodefloat voltage isreducedto2,2 V/cell(13,2 V for12 V battery)tominimizegassing andcorrosionofthe positive plates. Once a week the voltage is raised back to the absorption level to ‘equalize’ the battery. Thisfeaturepreventsstratificationoftheelectrolyteandsulphation,amajorcauseofearlybatteryfailure.

 

To increase battery life: temperature compensation

Every Phoenix Charger comes with a battery temperature sensor. When connected, charge voltage will automatically decrease with increasing battery temperature. This feature is especially recommended for sealed batteries and/or when important fluctuations of battery temperature are expected.

Universal 90-265 V AC input voltage range and also suitable for DC supply (AC-DC and DC-DC operation) The chargers will accept a 90-400 V DC supply.
