Technical description
The compact charger uses an AC voltage to create a low DC voltage and a
high DC current to charge 12 V batteries.
The compact charger maintains the charging voltage even during
fluctuations in the mains voltage of between 200 V
AC
and 250 V
AC
. It
supplies an even charging current until the battery is almost completely
charged. Then the compact charger reduces the charging current.
The compact charger has the following safety equipment:
z
Indicator lamp for reversed polarity
z
Indicator lamp for faulty batteries
z
Overheating protection mechanism
z
Overvoltage protection
z
Current limiting protection
z
Charging time limitation (the compact charger switches off after 24 hours,
to prevent the battery from becoming overcharged)
The DC current circuit is indirect-coupled to the AC mains circuit. This
precludes the risk of electric shock and corrosion when used on boats.
