Features

The charger ensures a charging voltage without peaks and regulates it so that overcharging of the batteries is prevented. It offers fully automatic continuous operation, so that the charger can be connected to the battery continuously to keep it fully charged. In the event of a power failure, the battery is protected by a safety switch and is not discharged.

In addition, the charger automatically regenerates the battery twice a week during downtime to prevent harmful acid stratification. Voltage losses on the charging cables are automatically compensated for by the charging cable compensation. A built-in vehicle electrical system filter enables trouble-free parallel operation with gasoline generators, alternators, generators, etc. on a battery.
