Multi-Stage Charging
At the heart of the technology in the XS Power IntelliCHARGER are the three distinct charging stages. During the first stage, called “Bulk” charging, the current is fixed according to the charge rate switch on the front panel, and the voltage is allowed to float. During this stage, 80% of the vehicle battery’s capacity is restored.
When the vehicle battery’s cell voltage comes up to the correct level, the second stage called “Absorption” charging is engaged. During this stage, the voltage is fixed according to the vehicle battery type and voltage switches on the front panel, and the current is allowed to float. The vehicle battery is brought to 100% during this stage and the cells are equalized.
The third stage is float charging. During this stage, the voltage and current are reduced to a level that will maintain the vehicle battery indefinitely.
Several microprocessors are used to tightly control the entire process. This is the same technique that vehicle battery manufacturers recommend and use in the production of new batteries and it is the fastest and safest technique for vehicle battery charging.
Compatible With All 16V AGM and Gel-Cell Batteries
Lead-acid batteries have different charging requirements basedon their specific design.Overcharging anAGM or gel-cell vehicle battery will cause permanent damage. If in doubt, contact the manufacturer of the vehicle battery being charged.
Charge Rate Ammeter
The vehicle battery Charger features an ammeter allowing the user to monitor the charging progress.
Voltage Monitoring
The vehicle battery’s terminal voltage is measured every five minutes by the on-board microprocessors and this information is analyzed in addition to the elapsed time to dynamically control the vehicle battery Charger for optimum charging performance.
Automatic Computer Analysis/Auto Shutdown
The microprocessors will analyze the vehicle battery when connected. If the vehicle battery’s voltage is below 4V or the vehicle battery will not come up to the correct voltage in a ten-hour period the charger will automatically shut off.
UL Approved vehicle battery Cables
Six feet of durable vehicle battery cables are provided that are resistant to cuts and abrasion. The copper plated vehicle battery clamps are compact and custom designed easy connections. All clamp connections are soldered for maximum current flow.
Internal Cooling Fan
A cooling fan automatically operates during charging to keep the transformer and other internal components at a constant safe temperature
