Designed to recharge any 100%discharged lead-acid Battery in its ampere-hour rating within 8 hours, the Accu-Chargeris engineered to provide the maximum incharging performance.

2 The charger usesferroresonant power conversion circuitry,which is virtually maintenance-free, to provideyears of dependable service. The powerconversion circuitry maximizes Battery lifeby using a constantly tapering charge whichis automatically regulated by the On Charge Battery voltage. The output current of theAccu-Charger is determined by the stateof discharge of the Battery . The batteryis precisely charged, based on its depthof optionsDepending on your charging requirements,the Accu-Charger can be controlled by anyone of the following controls: AC500, AC1000and safeguardsThe Accu-Charger is internally protectedagainst overload, short circuit, incorrectbattery connection and voltage of the DC output will not damagethe charger or cause fuses to blow.

3 Plus, inthe event of a component failure, the chargingrate will automatically go to minimum, thusprotecting the Battery from will hold the finish rate of thecharge within 1%, even with line voltagevariations as high as 10%. This protects,and properly charges the Battery , even whensevere input voltage variations and three phase serviceThe Accu-Charger is available in a varietyof single and three phase models, providingmultiple AC input voltages as standard. Mostmodels are UL listed, CSA certified, andmeet BCI Accu-Charger is rated to recharge a100% discharged Battery in its ampere-hourrating within eight to change AC input voltageAC input voltage change-overs take justminutes because of conveniently locatedtaps and quick-connect DC outputIn rare instances where changes to the DCoutput might be required, necessaryadjustments are made simple withconveniently located quick-connect repair costs with ten-year originalpurchaser warranty on power transformerand silicon diodes, plus one-year warrantyon other cooled.

7 Notice that as theampere-hours (A-H) returned to the batteryincrease, the Battery voltage increases andthe charging current gradually tapers to asafe finish rate. The recharge rate starts atapproximately 20 amperes per 100 ampere-hours of Battery capacity at volts percell, then tapers to approximately per 100 ampere-hours at volts per cell. To assure completerecharge of a fully discharged Battery , thetotal ampere-hours returned to the batteryis a minimum of 107%.j001 extra length charging cable:Permits the charger to be installed up to 20 ft. from the batterylocation. See data sheet parallel charging cable with SBX connector:For the simultaneous charging of two batteries, identical in cellsize but having different depths of discharge, with one series charging cable:For the simultaneous charging of two batteries, identical in cellsize, ampere-hour rating, and depth of discharge, with wall mounting bracket:For B and C case remote charger control box:Allows the control to be located up to 20 ft.

9 Thisproprietary technique used inconjunction with the tapered curve ofthe charger ensures that the batteryis precisely charged, never over orunder charged. The AC1000 stores 9items of information for the most recentcharge cycle that can be reviewed atthe touch of a single button. Otherfeatures include digital display, Battery /charger mismatch protection, dual back-up timers,delayed start, cool down, refresh charge, forming cycles,extended run time, auto equalize, selectable VT termination,push-to-start and fault lockout operation. The AC1000 usesthe combination of the digital ammeter and 4 status LED sto indicate V/C, Amps and charge status of the charge data sheet 1322 for more Unparalleled in the industry,AC2000 control offers outstandingfeatures and options to take you intothe 21st century.

10 The AC2000 utilizesthe latest engineering and electronictechnology to provide the ultimate incharge cycle information. Up to 30cycles of charge information isautomatically stored for retrieval. Plus,the control allows the review of chargecycle data anytime without affecting thecharging operation. The AC2000 offersfive different start modes and manyfeatures including a sealed-membrane keypad, refreshcharge, extended run time, high-current shutdown, Battery /charger mismatch discrimination, new batteryrecognition after AC fail, automatic or manual equalizeoperation, and cool down. It uses a PT/DV/DT chargetermination technique to ensure that the rate of change forboth Battery voltage and current always provides an efficientand accurate termination of charge.
