| ...and many other advanced features described in these specifications | : The advanced technology of the Battery Sentinel Battery Charger is fundamentally different from all other battery chargers. The conventional linear battery charger is an electrical device whereas the 225484 is a light weight sophisticated electronic device. 1. Switch-Mode Technology: Most Battery Chargers use linear technology, which convert the 115VAC to 6VDC at 60Hz. This requires a large transformer, which has the disadvantage of lower efficiency resulting in higher heat generation, larger size and weight. Battery Sentinel #225484 transforms the 115 VAC into 6 VDC at about 100,000 Hz (1667times faster than conventional charger), which requires a much smaller transformer and this results in a unit of smaller size, low weight and improved efficiency. The 225484 uses sophisticated electronic circuitry with microchips. All present day computers use switch-mode technology. 2. International Safety Approvals & Listing: Both UL & cUL listed. 3. Input Requirements: a) 90VAC to 132VAC b) 47 - 63 Hz Input AC tolerance +/- 20%. This means the Battery Sentinel will operate satisfactorily in areas where the input voltage is low. This charger is also suitable for every part of the world where 115 VAC is used as well as Japan where input is 100 VAC. 4. Output: 2 Amps Constant Current @ 6 Volts DC (Equivalent to 4 Amps tapered charger in charging time) a) Line Regulation @ Full Load 1% b) Load Regulation @ 4% c)Ripple Voltage : Very low @ 1% The peak to peak ripple voltage into a resistive load is less than 200mV for the output voltage above 12 VDC. 5. Charging Cycle : The charging curve is attached. The explanation of the charging cycle is as following. | Stages | Condition | Mode* | Current | Voltage | LED Indication | | Stage 1 | Charging Pulse mode | Pulse mode | 2A Pulsing | 0.5V to 2.0V | Flash | | Stage 2 | Constant Current mode | CC mode | 2A | 2.0V to 7.3V | Yellow | | Stage 3 | Constant Voltage mode | CV mode | Reduces from 2A*** | Holds at 7.3V | Yellow | | Stage 4 | Standby Voltage mode | Standby CV mode | Reduces to zero | Maintains 6.9V | Green |
| Recharging mode | CC mode | 2A | 6.0V | Yellow | | Battery Sentinel will charge Wet-Lead-Acid, Sealed Lead, Gel and Absorbed mat Batteries without the use of any switch. 6.Two colors and function in one LED : LED is used to show the charging status. When the LED is Yellow, the charger is in charging or recharging mode and the current is 2 A constant. When the LED turns Green, the charger is in Standby mode and no current (zero) is flowing. 7. Protection: a) Reverse polarity protection - provided b) Short circuit protection - provided c) Over-Voltage Protection - provided d) Over current protection - provided e) AC Surge Protection - provided f) Soft start and stop: Starts and stops gradually. No sudden in-rush of current. This protects both the battery and all other circuits connected to the charger. 8. De-sulfation of battery: The charger will remove loose sulfation, which increases battery life. (Hard sulfation cannot be reversed). 9. Electromagnetic Interference (EMI): The charger will not generate excessive radiated or conducted emissions. No interference with TV, radio, computer or other electronic equipment. Meets FCC Class B. Inhibit signal:The Inhibit signal is an open circuit output, leakage of less than 5 micro Amp, when the charger is not connected to an AC source. This signal will be less than 50 mV DC while sinking 10 mA when the charger is connected to an AC source. Size: 3 ½”L x 2 ¼” W x 1 ½ ” H
Weight : 7 ounces
