Robust reliability. More power in less space.
MicroGenius is a family of advanced technology 12 to 120 volt nominal stationary battery chargers that deliver more power
in less space. Ruggedized switchmode power conversion technology enables a rich set of standard features that are either
unavailable in, or add significant cost to, competing legacy technology chargers.
MicroGenius is designed and tested to survive extreme electrical transients, temperature and vibration. Employing the field-
proven MicroGenius 2 power conversion platform, dependability of S2 and S4 chargers can be further enhanced by specifying
internal power converter redundancy.

State-of-the-art features
Mission-critical dependability Dependable modular architecture
SENS’ comprehensive approach to reliability includes worst- MicroGenius S2 and S4 employ multiple MicroGenius
case design, repeated stress testing and highly automated chargers that enable either higher current output,
assembly, test and burn-in of every unit. The result? A lower internal redundancy or multiple outputs.
rate of field failure than even the best legacy SCR designs –
proven over six years and thousands produced.

Electrical transient testing MicroGenius 2

Rich standard feature set

Standard with every charger: ripple-free output, fast dynamic
response, Modbus communications, multiple alarm and
communications choices, battery health check systems and
global standards compliance.
