5. Instruccions de funcionament
5.1 Engegada/apagada
- To power on, connect the AC input cord to a live 110V AC outlet. The unit will automatically begin converting power and charging connected batteries.
- To power off, disconnect the AC input cord from the outlet.
5.2 4-Stage Operació de càrrega
The converter features an intelligent 4-stagprocés de càrrega electrònica:
- Granel Stage: Delivers maximum current to rapidly charge a depleted battery to approximately 80% capacity.
- Absorció Stage: Carrega la bateria al 100% a un volum constanttage, with current gradually decreasing.
- Flotador Stage: Maintains the battery at a safe voltage to prevent self-discharge and overcharging, ideal for long-term storage.
- Igualació Stage (for lead-acid only): Aplica periòdicament un volum més alttage to balance cell voltages and prevent sulfation.
5.3 Adjustable Output Voltage
El voltage can be adjusted between 13V and 16.5V to suit specific battery requirements (e.g., lithium batteries often require higher charging voltages). This adjustment is typically done via a potentiometer on the unit, as indicated in the installation manual.
