Sterling Power 24v 2.5A Portable Global Smart Charger - GS243B

Features auto repair program

The new micro processor controlled small portable charger can now be used anywhere in the world. It not only gives you all the latest pulse charging and built in de-sulphation but is also truly global, with 100-230 volt 50/60 hz ac input, putting the product in a class of its own.

Features and benefits of this portable charger

• Universal AC Input (100V to 240V): can be used anywhere in the world, truly global charging.
• Suitable for all types of lead acid batteries: Wet, GEL, AGM, Calcium
• Simple 3 touch screen selections with intuitive iconic LED indications: simple to use.
• 3 charge modes, small battery, large battery and Cold Charge, ideal for low temperature battery charging, of de-sulphation, and also for the new Calcium where a higher voltages is required to charge the batteries.
• Microprocessor Control multi-stage charger with Pulse Absorption and Float Charge: fast charge but safe floating for long term operation.
• Checks if a battery is faulty, the processor can automatically identify if a battery is beyond repair and flash a warning light to inform you if it needs replacing.
• Repairs faulty batteries (if recoverable) if the battery is found to be faulty but repairable the unit will automatically identify the fault and inject high voltage short DC pulses until the battery is repaired, an l.e.d. shows the charger is on repair mode.
• Defective battery identification. If after 8 hrs on the repair mode the battery is deemed not to be repairable then an l.e.d. will flash to inform you that the battery is beyond help and needs replacing.
• Three charge modes, when the battery is found to be suitable for a charge then the charger will bulk charge, then pulse width absorption charge and finally float charge, the unit can be left on permanently.
• Soft start charging: if the battery is found to be heavily depleted then the smart charger will start at a low pulse current until the battery has reached a level where it can then absorb the full charge power.
• 50% power reduction mode: for small batteries under 30 amp hrs.
• Cold weather 14.8v ( x 2 for 24 v ) charge mode option.
• Two interchangeable connection leads with clamps and eyelet terminals.
• Thermal control, regulates charge current in hot conditions.
• No connection spark, there is no output voltage until the battery is connected.
• Electronic reverse polarity protection with LED warning.
• 40 hrs time out to avoid any possible problems
• Short circuit protected.
• Thermal protection, reduces power and switches off if too hot.
