CHARGING CHARGERS
Cycle Applications: Apply constant voltage charge at Power Sonic offers a wide range of chargers suitable
2.35v/c – 2.45v/c (14.1 – 14.7v for 12v Monobloc) at 20°C. for batteries with a variety of capacities.
Initial charging current should be set at less than 0.25C
Please refer to our website for more information on
Amps. Switch to float charge to avoid overcharging.
our switch mode and transformer type chargers.
“Float” or “Stand-By” Service: Apply constant voltage
Please contact our technical department for advice if
charge of 2.25v/c – 2.30v/c (13.5 to 13.8 volts for 12v
you have difficulty in locating a suitable charger.
Monobloc at 20°C. When held at this voltage, the battery
will seek its own current level and maintain itself in a fully
charged condition. FURTHER INFORMATION
Temperature Compensation: Charging Voltage for both Please refer to our website www.power-sonic.com
Cyclic and Standby applications should be regulated in for a complete range of useful downloads, such as
relation to ambient temperature. As temperature rises product catalogs, material safety data sheets (MSDS),
charging voltage should be reduced to prevent overcharge ISO certification, etc.
and increased as temperature falls to avoid undercharge.
For further charging information including temperature
compensation factors, see Power Sonic Technical Manual/
Power Sonic Charger specifications.
