EPS 12Volt 8Amp Automatic Switch Mode Battery Charger

 

This sophisticated switch mode charger has been specially developed for use with all deep cycle sealed lead acid batteries including "Dryfit" gel batteries. It is light weight, compact and efficient. It will operate on any AC input voltage between 90 VAC to 260 VAC - this means it will work anywhere in the world without an additional transformer or switching for the 1208. It automatically charges, without requiring monitoring, all sealed lead-acid, maintenance type and gel batteries with nominal voltage of 12 volts. Charging begins immediately if the battery has been properly connected.

 

Plug in and switch on charger at the mains supply and then turn the charger's Power switch on . The charger is ready for connecting to the charging socket or batteries. IMPORTANT! This type of charger must be switched on before connecting to batteries. When the charging process begins, the green LED illuminates. After reaching approximate 80 % charge, the green LED will cease to glow. But leave the batteries connected until ready for use. To check that battery is fully charged, turn off AC power or remove the charging connector for about 30 seconds then reconnect. The green LED should light momentarily then go out again. On this type of charger the battery may be left connected indefinitely as overcharging is impossible.
