About the Victron Automotive IP65 Charger 12V\/4A – 12V\/1A with DC connector<\/h2>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

This charger has been designed for charging a variety of 12V lead acid batteries, such as WET, GEL and AGM, which are widely used for cars, motorcycles and other vehicles. Battery capacities range from 1,2Ah to 120Ah.<\/strong> Full protection against reverse polarity and short-circuiting ensures that the charging operation is much safer. The charger will wait until a charging mode has been selected before a connected battery can be charged. <\/p>\n

DC connector<\/strong><\/p>\n

Depending on the application, clamps, eyelets or a cigarette plug (all included) can be connected to the charger. <\/p>\n

Less maintenance and aging when the battery is not in use: the Storage Mode<\/strong><\/p>\n

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 13,2 V to minimize gassing and corrosion of the positive plates. Once a week the voltage is raised back to the absorption level to \u2018equalize\u2019 the battery. This feature prevents stratification of the electrolyte and sulphation, a major cause of early battery failure. <\/p>\n

Protected against overheating and reverse polarity connection<\/strong><\/p>\n

The output current will reduce as temperature increases up to 40\u00b0C, but the charger will not fail. Output relay protects against reverse polarity connection. <\/p>\n

Five LED\u2019s for status and mode indication<\/strong><\/p>\n

When connected to the AC supply the STAND-BY LED will turn on. No voltage will be present at the output. After connection to a battery (battery voltage must exceed 8,5V), a choice can be made out of three charge profiles with the MODE button: <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n

    Current limited t0 0,8A and 14,4V absorption voltage. The red LED <14Ah will be on. <\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  2. \n

    Current 4A and 14,4V absorption voltage. The red LED >14Ah will be on. Application: Flooded, AGM or GEL batteries. Ambient temperature 10-35 \u00b0 C. <\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  3. \n

    Current 4A and 14,7V absorption voltage. The red LED COLD will be on. Application: <\/p>\n

    Flooded, AGM or GEL batteries. Ambient temperature below 10 \u00b0 C, or batteries requiring a higher charge voltage (OPTIMA spiral cell batteries for example). <\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Until the battery is fully charged, the red LED CHARGE will be on. After completion of the charge process, the red LED FULL will be on. <\/p>\n

    In case of reverse polarity connection, the red LED ! will be on
    If the red LED STANDBY remains on, even after pressing the MODE button, the connection to the battery is\u00a0 interrupted. <\/p>\n
