The microprocessor controlled battery chargers of the series EA-BCI 800 R have a multitude of functions and features covering all needs. The clear menu in the graphic display provides a fast and simple guide to correct setting. The chargers can be programmed, remotely controlled and monitored using the optional digital interfaces . Thus all the data for one or more batteries can be administered, analysed and evaluated.

New 2010: the series has been extended by some models with 1500W and 5000W.

The chargers are suitable for Pb, VRLA, AGM, GEL, Li-Ion, NiCd, NiMH batteries. The requisite charging cycles are either pre-programmed or may be easily parametised by the user for specific batteries. The devices use either a 4-stage charging cycle for charging lead-acid batteries with liquid, gel (GEL CELL) or felt soaked (AGM) electrolyte, or a 5-stage cycle which includes a storage and refresh mode.

For Lithium ion batteries the parameters for maintenance charge, precharge, fast charge and peak charge are programmable. Charging voltage, current, time, temperature compensation are some examples of the parameters which can be programmed. In this way every battery can be individually charged and the capacity and life are optimised.

An analogue input for temperature compensation is available. For monitoring the charging voltage and current, analogue outputs are realised with voltage ranges from 0V...10V. Several digital inputs and outputs are available for controlling and monitoring the status. The devices of the series EA-BCI 800 R are remotely controllable by using a personal computer and via different isolated, digital interfaces like RS232, CAN, USB or Ethernet (LAN). There is one interface slot on the front of the devices.

Options:

• Digital interface cards (USB, RS232, CAN)
