Battery Chargers/Charging Converters - always a full battery
Starter batteries and supply batteries are designed for different tasks. Starter batteries, in order to start the engine, must initially supply a high current level and will then serve as an energy buffer with smaller partial cycles. Supply or domestic batteries, by contrast, are charged at lower current levels for longer periods of time, which means they are subjected to significantly higher loads. Correct charging is the key to success. With a complete range of IU- and IU0U battery chargers, WAECO offers a optimum charging technology for gel and AGM supply batteries. In each case, the consumed battery should be replaced by a full battery charge. Even after longer journeys, with additional charge from the generator, the battery should immediately be connected to the power supply! Alternatively, you can use a PerfectCharge IU charging converter. These units guarantee optimal charging during the drive. How powerful a battery charger has to be depends on the battery capacity. As a rule of thumb, the charging current of the battery charger should be at least 10% of the battery capacity.
PerfectCharge IU1512 - IU4512 - IU0U Automatic Chargers
The IU0U battery chargers have been conceived for use in motorhomes, caravans and yachts. As double or triple chargers, they are suitable for simultaneous charging of several batteries. Noise-free oepration in the 'sleep mode', remote control and temperature sensor as optional extras. Available in various capacity ratings, for 12- and 24- volt batteries.
PerfectCharge DC08 - DC40 - charging converters and battery chargers
High quality charging converters with electrically isolated input and output voltage. Can be used for charging the consumer battery during the drive, or as voltage stabilisers in 12-volt networks. The units supply a stable IU-curve charging voltage - ideal for sensitive consumers. Fluctuations in the onboard power supply are compensated thanks to the electrical isolation of the input and output voltage. Available in various performance categories,
