General

The ABC Charger is suitable both for Freely Ventilated- (Wet) and Valve Regulated- (Dry) lead/acid batteries.
The charger is small and is very light (8 kg.) and can therefore easily be fitted close to the battery. (The
charger can be delivered with program compensating for the equipment base load.)
The charger operates in high frequency and should be connected to a standard 230V mains connection with
ground. The built in micro controller controls the charging process according to the chosen charging
algorithm. .
During charging the charging progress is displayed with a status indicator LED on the front panel. The micro­controller is also controlling the charging progress with regards to temperature in the charger and time. If a
fault occurs in some cells or the temperature rises the charging current will be limited. If you have a special
requirement of charging algorithm or application, please contact LEAB AB.
