BATTERY CHARGERS
BATTERY CHARGERS 12 & 24 VOLT
VETUS BATTERY CHARGERS MEET ALL THE REQUIREMENTS OF DAILY USE ON BOARD.
- They are suitable for connection to 115 or
230 Volts AC mains supply.
- Even at very low voltage, these chargers are fully operational: 80 Volts
(instead of the usual 115 V) or 180 Volts (instead of the normal 230 V).
- All VETUS battery chargers - with the exception of the smallest model
BC120202 - feature three outputs, allowing simultaneous charging of up to
three banks of batteries (model BC120202 has 2 outputs).
- VETUS battery chargers are three-phase chargers: normal, boost and float.
- The Charging characteristic can be adjusted for wet or gel filled batteries.
- If no batteries are connected, the charger may be used as a DC power supply,
up to its rated limit.
- There is no risk of overcharging the batteries.
They may stay switched on permanently,
even over the winter.
- All VETUS battery chargers have the optimum "IUoU" charging
characteristic, with a "float phase". With this characteristic, the
charger reduces the output boost current when the so called "gas
voltage" is reached. In the final charging phase, it reduces the charging
current even further until the float voltage is reached, thus preventing the
battery from gassing and consuming water.
Attention:
For charging separate banks of batteries using the engine alternator, a VETUS
diode splitter is the ideal appliance.
VETUS diode splitters do not cause voltage drop and therefore compensating the
output of the alternator is unnecessary.
