HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Our offices will be closed on Tuesday, December 31 & Wednesday, January 1 in observance of the New Year holiday. All orders placed during that time will be processed on Thursday, January 2.
The Phoenix Charger features a microprocessor controlled ‘adaptive’ battery management system that can be preset to suit different types of batteries
The ‘adaptive’ feature will automatically optimise the process relative to the way the battery is being used
The right amount of charge: variable absorption time
When only shallow discharges occur (a yacht connected to shore power for example) the absorption time is kept short in order to prevent overcharging of the battery
After a deep discharge the absorption time is automatically increased to make sure that the battery is completely recharged
Preventing damage due to excessive gassing: the BatterySafe mode (see fig. 2 below)
If, in order to quickly charge a battery, a high charge current in combination with a high absorption voltage has been chosen, the Phoenix Charger will prevent damage due to excessive gassing by automatically limiting the rate of voltage increase once the gassing voltage has been reached (see the charge curve between 14,4 V and 15,0 V in fig. 2 below)
Less maintenance and aging when the battery is not in use: the Storage mode (see fig. 1 2 below)
The storage mode kicks in whenever the battery has not been subjected to discharge during 24 hours
In the storage mode float voltage is reduced to 2,2 V/cell (13,2 V for 12 V battery) to minimize gassing and corrosion of the positive plates
Once a week the voltage is raised back to the absorption level to ‘equalize’ the battery
This feature prevents stratification of the electrolyte and sulphation, a major cause of early battery failure
To increase battery life: temperature compensation
Every Phoenix Charger comes with a battery temperature sensor
When connected, charge voltage will automatically decrease with increasing battery temperature
This feature is especially recommended for sealed batteries and/or when important fluctuations of battery temperature are expected
Battery voltage sense
In order to compensate for voltage loss due to cable resistance, Phoenix Chargers are provided with a voltage sense facility so that the battery always receives the correct charge voltage
Universal 90-265 V AC input voltage range and also suitable for DC supply (AC-DC and DC-DC operation)
