Introduction 

Power Master Battery Charger is small and lightweight charger that offers charging 
patterns which are perfectly adapted to each battery technology (liquid electrolyte,

 

gel 

electrolyte, lead calcium, etc... ). A

 

charging pattern may be factory set to suit your

 

specific application.

 

To prolong the life of your batteries and conserve their initial 

capacity, the charger is programmed

 

with 5

 

three-state charging patterns: 

 

z

 

BOOST Charge/FAST Charge 

:Restores battery capacity until 80 % in a short 

space of time. 

 

z

 

ABSORPTION Charge/BALANCE Charge 

: Complements of charge until 100 % 

of battery capacity 

 

z

 

FLOATING Charge/TOP-UP Charge :

 Compensates for constant battery drain, 

while keeping the battery fully charged. 

 

Power Master Battery Charger 

is the only charger on the market to allow the battery to 

be connected and used

 

constantly, while still offering a

 

real BOOST (high voltage) 

charge over short period. The

 

charger switches back to top-up mode automatically. 

 
In accordance with EC standards, the Power Master Battery charger is fitted with a PFC 
(Power Factor Corrector) which limit peak current draw from the input power required 
from the generator or Mains supply to be reduced. 
 
 

Technical Features 

-

 

Management and control by 

microprocessor 

-

 

Charging curve of 3 states IUU type 

-  UNIVERSAL input voltage 90V to 250Vac 

(item 12V/40A, 12V/60A, 24V/30A,

 

24V/50A) 

-  Input voltage 230V ~ +10%/-15% 

(item 12V/20A, 24V/15A )

 

-  Frequency 50/60Hz 
-  Output voltage Ubat 

±

1% ; output current Ibat 

±

10% 

-    Operating temperature -10 to + 45°C; storage temperature -20 to +70°C 
-    Charging curve selection by rotate switch for 5 different batteries types 
-    Sensor used to balance charging voltage according to temperature gaps (-27mV/°C) 
-  Automatic air vented cooling 
-  Protection Index IP 235
