DescriptionPhase Three "Smart" battery charging technology provides significant benefits over
traditional float chargers whose output voltage droops under heavy loads, and fails
to attain absorption voltage levels recommended by battery manufacturers as part
of a proper charge cycle. Theses issues are particular significant in Emergency
Vehicle applications where rapid recharge is required while powering DC loads, and
reliable service life of a battery is critical. Smart Chargers interact with batteries
and deliver a three stage charge process which provides for fastest recovery and
ideal battery condition, maximizing performance and life.
Adaptability to
different battery types and charge conditions is another important feature. A selector
switch adjusts output voltage to adapt for proper charging of gel-cell, lead acid
and AGM battery types. An optional temperature compensation sensor adjusts output
for ideal voltage based on changes in ambient temperatures. This improves performance
and extends battery life.
