When charging your batteries, it is best to use the right chargers that protect and take care of them while charging.
The 99-1858 battery charger is the ideal choice for 6V - 12V batteries. Compatible with all types of batteries: Gel, SLA, MF, DRY and Ca/Ca.
It is an intelligent battery charger and maintainer and does not overcharge the battery. It has an LCD display, where you will get information during charging, internal protection that prevents overheating and overcharging, IP60 protection and a fuse-protected installation set.
On the one hand, it has 7 charging modes, including 12V repair mode.
On the other hand, it has 8 charging cycles:
1 cycle: initial test: performs an initial test of the battery status and determines automatically, which is the next cycle to hold the battery at.
2 cycle: regeneration (rejuvenation). In this phase the charger will desulfate the battery through a high frequency process (pulse desulfation). These current and voltage pulses release the sulfates from the lead plates of the battery, restoring its capacity.
3 cycle: start - charge initialization: checks if the battery can accept the charge. This step avoids recharging a defective battery.
4 cycle: main charge: this cycle charges at maximum current up to 80% of the battery capacity. Charging is performed at maximum current to reduce battery charging times and save energy.
5 cycle: absorption charge (final charge). Charging with decreasing current, up to 100% of the battery capacity. This cycle represents the final part of the charge. During this phase the charge current gradually decreases to prevent the voltage from being too high.
6 cycle: battery analysis: this cycle tests the battery to ensure that it is fully charged (by checking the battery's charge retention).
7 cycle: maintenance for maximum performance: float-type maintenance charge at constant voltage for maximum performance.
8 cycle: maintenance for maximum life: when not in use the battery can be left connected to the battery charger. The battery charger measures the battery voltage constantly to determine if a charge pulse should be initiated. In this cycle the charge capacity varies between 95% and 100%.
