48 Volt Battery Chargers
48V
Battery Chargers - Different types of batteries
require different charging regimes. SLA,
AGM and Gel batteries
are traditionally charged at a lower voltage than Flooded
Lead acid batteries.
Multi-stage chargers are recommended
because they adjust current and voltage according to the
battery's requirements.
It is recommend to charge batteries at about 10% of their
amp hour capacity. For example, an 80Ah deep cycle battery
should be changed at a rate of about 8A.
SLA, AGM and Gel batteries are traditionally charged at
a lower voltage than Flooded Lead acid batteries. Multistage
charging ensures batteries receive optimum charging, but
with minimal wear and tear, regulating the voltage and
current delivered to the batteries in three automatic
stages -
Bulk, Absorption, and Float:
1. Bulk - Replaces 70-80% of the battery’s state
of charge at the fastest possible rate.
2. Absorption - Replenishes the remaining 20-30% of charge,
bringing the battery to a full charge at a slow, safe
rate.
3. Float - Voltage is reduced and held constant in order
to prevent damage and keep batteries at a full charge.
