6. Navodila za uporabo
The Centaur charger employs a sophisticated three-stage charging algorithm to optimize battery charging and prolong battery life:
- Bulk Stage: Polnilnik zagotavlja maksimalen tok za hitro polnjenje baterije, dokler se izhodni tok ne zmanjša na 70 % nazivnega Amps.
- Absorpcija Stage: Ko je glavnina stagKo so izpolnjeni kriteriji, se zažene 4-urni časovnik. V tem času polnilnik vzdržuje konstantno glasnosttage to ensure the battery is fully charged. An internal temperature sensor compensates the charge voltage to prevent overcharging or undercharging based on ambient temperature. A DIP switch is available to select the optimum charge/float voltagza svinčeno-kislinske, gelske ali AGM akumulatorje s poplavo.
- Float Stage: Po absorpciji stage timer concludes, the charger switches to a lower float voltage za vzdrževanje polne baterije brez prekomernega polnjenja.
