The Auto Charge 2000 with Parasitic Load Compensation
(PLC) is a compact, microprocessor controlled, completely automatic,
dual channel battery charger designed for vehicles with a dual battery
system. The PLC charger is designed to withstand the shock and
vibration encountered by vehicle mounted equipment.
This new Parasitic Load Compensation feature is designed especially to
meet the heavy duty requirements of emergency vehicles. Most emergency
vehicles have many parasitic loads on their systems (flash lights, gas
detectors, computers, monitoring systems and other items) that can
trick a standard 3-step charger into over charging the batteries.
Parasitic load compensation allows you to input the total number of
parasitic load amps on the vehicle. Then
the charger will shift the absorption stage set point so the battery
voltage will drop to the float voltage when the desired current is
reached. In short the parasitic loads are invisible to the charger.
This will lead to a longer battery life and no overcharging or
overheating.
- 18A total: 15A battery charger, 3A battery saver
- Microprocessor controlled, completely automatic operation regulates output to a dual battery bank
- Precision voltage controller senses battery voltage, eliminating need for sense wires
- Parasitic Load Compensation allows for user input of total
accessory load amps on the vehicle. This allows the charger to shift
the absorption stage set point so the battery voltage drops to the
float voltage when desired current is reached
