Vetus battery charger 12V/80A, battery charger for ships, high efficiency and reliability

Specially designed for use on ships

These new battery chargers feature a four-stage IUoU charging characteristic: In the first bulk charging stage, the battery receives a continuous maximum current charge. Once the battery is charged to approximately 75% of its full capacity, the charger automatically switches to a constant voltage absorption stage for the remaining 25%. When the battery is fully charged, the charger will maintain the charging phase for 15 minutes (provided the charge is below 6.25% of the charging current) and then switch to the float charging stage. During this stage, the battery charger maintains a full charge without overcharging the battery. It compensates for self-discharge and "floats" with the battery load. After warming up in the float stage for 12 days, the charger performs the final reconditioning stage. During this phase, the charger switches to the bulk stage for only 85 minutes to ensure the battery remains in optimal condition. Easily accessible DIP switches allow the maximum charging voltage to be adjusted to suit the battery type. These chargers are suitable for all AC voltage sources from 90 V to 265 V. Active power factor correction takes care of unwanted line disturbances. VETUS battery chargers are extensively tested, including a 2G vibration test, to meet our quality standards and ensure long-term operation. These new chargers are compatible with lead-acid, Li-ion, gel, and AGM batteries and can be connected to a remote control (BCRP) and a battery temperature sensor (BCTS). The chargers have a separate alarm contact, and the fan speed can be adjusted for convenience. A battery charger/maintainer with a maximum output of 2 A is available for the BC12151, BC12252, and BC12352 models.
