The Auto Charge 2000
is a high
output dual battery charger that independently charges two batteries.
Unique electronic sensing circuits sense the true battery voltage while
eliminating the need for external sense wires. Charging is completely
automatic. The maximum output of the charger is 15 amperes. The entire
15 amperes may be supplied to one battery or it may be divided between
the two batteries. The lower charged battery is favored to receive more
of the charge. When the two batteries are equally charged the charge is
divided equally. When the batteries are fully charged, all charging
stops. There is no overcharging and no water boil off.
A common problem with electrical
systems is the loading on the battery caused by rechargeable
hand-lights, portable radios and other loads. The Auto Charge 2000
handles these loads with a built-in “BATTERY SAVER”. Auxiliary
electrical loads are connected to the "Battery Saver" output. During
normal vehicle operation these auxiliary loads are connected to battery
#1. When the vehicle is plugged in to A.C. power, the auxiliary loads
are automatically removed from the battery and powered from the
"BATTERY SAVER" circuit. A maximum of 3 amperes is available from the
"BATTERY SAVER". An automatic overload protector limits the 3 ampere
output. A yellow overload indicator is illuminated whenever the
"BATTERY SAVER" output limit is exceeded.
The Auto Charge 2000 indicator may
be mounted remotely from the charger assembly. Connected by 4 wires to
the charger, the indicator contains 2 bar graph displays - one for each
battery. The displays indicate the “state of charge” and the general
condition of the batteries. An old or defective battery is displayed as
a low reading which remains low after an extended charging period. A
discharged battery also is indicated by a low reading. Precise
indications of battery condition appear, independent of the distance
between the charger and the display.
