OUTPUT

Battery Charging

Optimum absorption charge and float voltages

for Flooded Lead-acid, Gel-Cell or AGM batteries.

Selectable by dip switch

Absorption Charge Voltages

14.3Vdc and 28.5Vdc

See selection table

Float Charge Voltages

13.5Vdc and 27.0Vdc

See selection table

Three Outputs

3 isolated outputs that each can supply up to the

fully rated current. Combined total rated current

cannot be exceeded. Keeping within the total

power rating of the battery charger.

Total Output Ammeter

Yes.

Charge Characteristic

Charges at the absorption rate, until the output

has reduced to 70% of rated current. At which

time a 4hour timer begins, then the charger

switches to float rate

Temperature Sensor

Internal, -2mV/°C per cell.

Battery Monitor

The BMV-700 battery monitor features an

advanced control and measuring system for

battery voltage and charge/discharge current.

The battery monitor displays battery voltage,

current, consumed AH or time to go.

Battery Alarm

An excessively high or low battery voltage is

indicated by an audible and visual alarm

PROTECTION

Ignition Protected

Yes.

Short Circuit Protection

Yes.

Over Temperature Protection Yes.
