Truecharge 10TB Owner’s Manual
3.0 Design Features
The design of the Truecharge incorporates numerous features that traditional battery charger designs cannot match. Key features and their benefits to the user are as follows.
3.1 Microprocessor Controlled 3-Stage Charging
Truecharge provides fast, complete charging without sacrificing battery life. The sophisticated
•Full
•Automatic switchover to “Absorption Charge” mode as the battery nears full charge. In this mode, output voltage is held absolutely constant to ensure the battery “absorbs” its full charge. The Truecharge’s microprocessor constantly monitors charging current, and signals that the battery has reached full charge when current falls to a predetermined low value. Precision control is key to ensuring full charge is delivered in minimum time, while ensuring longest possible battery life.
•Automatic switchover to “Float Charge” mode when the battery has reached 100% charge. In this mode, the Truecharge’s output voltage now reduces to a level designed to ensure the battery maintains its full charge. Precision
•Ability to fully monitor and charge two separate batteries. The most discharged battery receives the highest charging current.
•Automatic restarting of the charging sequence when battery capacity begins to fall as loads are switched on. This ensures your battery is always at maximum charge even when power is being drawn from it.
