The AA Battery Charger & Maintainer

Used and approved by AA Patrols, is an intelligent 'smart' battery maintainer and charger and is suitable for most car batteries.

Ideal for situations where a top up-charge is needed

And where you need the assurance that the charge level is accurate and safe to minimise any possible risk of battery damage.

The inbuilt microprocessor senses the condition of the battery

And controls the regulator to provide the right current and voltage to suit the correct level of charging.

Suitable for all types of 6V and 12V lead acid and gel batteries.

The four stages of battery charge

Soft Start

The unit will take an initial battery test to determine battery condition. If the battery is severely discharged the charger will begin its 'soft start' stage. Charging starts with reduced current until battery voltage reaches a normal condition for charge.

Bulk

This is the major charging stage where the battery receives the majority of its charge. During this stage the battery is brought to 75 - 80% of its charge. The maintainer will deliver maximum current until the terminal voltage has risen to the full charge level for a normal battery.

Absorption

Completes the charge up to almost 100%. The charge rate then falls to its minimum output while voltage is maintained.

Float

This is maintenance charging at constant voltage. Float mode keeps the battery at 100% charge. Normal charging mode is time-limited (max 10 days) while float mode charging will maintain, indefinitely without damaging the battery.

Voltage / current input

220V - 240V, 21W.

Current output

1.0A - 1.2A DC (1.5 RMS).

Output voltage

6V or 12V.

Type of battery

All types of lead acid batteries including wet acid, sealed, AGM, leisure type or gel batteries.

Charge time

20 AH battery = 20 hours / 50 AH battery = 50 hours / 100 AH battery = 100 hours.

Main cable length

2m.

Charging cables length

1.5m.

Accessories

1 x pair of crocodile clamps with 1m lead / 1 x pair of eyelet connectors with 1m lead.

Weight

725g.

Insulation rating

IP65.

The AA Battery Charger & Maintainer is controlled by a 12-bit AD microprocessor

With 4-stage charging characteristics designed for charging automotive batteries fitted in cars, motorbikes and light commercial vehicles.

The inbuilt microprocessor senses the condition of the battery

And controls the regulator to provide the right current and voltage to suit the charging characteristic of the battery. This will provide the best type of charging and give the longest battery life.
