Motorcycle Battery Charger MC06A12

An intelligent motorcycle battery charger designed to deliver the exact amount of charge automatically every time. The unit is micro-processor controlled suitable for charging lead acid batteries. The charging regime is designed to give maximum life expectancy for the batteries. A sophisticated software program continuously monitors the battery to maintain it in peak condition and to make sure that the battery is 100% charged when ready for use. Supplied with crocodile clip leads for connecting directly to the battery and a fused battery hook-up lead easy for connecting permanemtly to the battery for quick and easy connection to the charger.

Charging Regime

Stage1. (Bulk Charge)

A soft start delay is activated on connection to the battery to prevent sparking, after which controlled constant current of 0.6 Amps is fed into the battery to rapidly raise the terminal voltage to 2.41 volts per cell. The length of time taken to complete stage 1 will depend on capacity of the battery and depth of discharge.

Stage 2. (Controlled Over-voltage Equalising)

The terminal voltage is maintained at a constant potential of 2.41 volts per cell during which time the charge current will start to decay exponentially until it reaches a preset level of approximately 10% of the chargers maximum current rating. The length of time from start of bulk charge stage 1 to this point is monitored (T1). The terminal voltage is then maintained at 2.41 volts per cell for a further time period of T1/2

Stage 3 (Standy Mode)

At the end of the timed period the terminal voltage is reduced to 2.28 volts per cell which is maintained until either the battery is disconnected or discharged sufficiently to switch back to stage 1. State of charge is indicated by static red LED during stage 1 and stage 2, and by static green LED for stage 3 (charge complete)
