Charger E145

We regret to inform you that this product is DISCONTINUED; please find our current products here

The purpose of the charger E145 is charging 12V/200...1000Ah batteries, using solar or wind energy. It can be used for charging as Pb batteries as well CdNi batteries. The charging current is automatically controlled by taking into account the type and charge rate of the battery and, the ambient temperature. This exclude the overcharging of the battery which would lead to boiling out of the electrolyte and thus, to the damage of the battery. The design of the charger is hermetic.

Features

Charging of 12V Pb or NiCd batteries in trickle charge mode. Charging current is up to 40A

Using solar panels (e.g. LA361 K51) and/or wind generators (e.g. Windside W03) as energy sources

Automatic control of charging current taking into account the type and charge rateof the battery and, the ambient temperature

Optimized charging mode for “DRAIFIT A400” (SONNENSCHEIN) Pb batteries and “SUNICA” (NIFE) NiCd batteries but also other types of Pb and NiCd batteries can be charged.

Protection of the batteries against overcharging and overload

Protection of the power supply system against the lightning discharges and other sources of high voltages by using dedicated input protection module between the outputs of energy sources and, inputs of the charger (optional)

Hermetic design

               *) If the load current does not exceed 10A then the charger can be operational during unlimited time.
              **) If the load current is approaching 10A then the charger can be operational during up to 15 minutes, operating during more time, the resourses of the charger can be diminished. When the load current or the charging current exceed the maximal value, the charger will be switched off by the protection units.
              ***) The lower limit of the temperature is actually limited with the lowest acceptable temperature of the battery.
