 Supercharger
Battery Charger-Analyzer for large battery systems (10A-Hr to
100A-Hr)
- The Supercharger is a precision instrument
designed to charge and analyze primarily NICKEL-CADMIUM batteries exactly as recommended
by the battery manufacturers (It can also test LEAD-ACID and other types of rechargeable
batteries,
- The simple to set controls plus the
condensed operating procedure found on the front panel makes the Supercharger a very easy
to operate CHARGER/ANALYZER, which combined with easy to read CURRENT, VOLTAGE, TIME and
STATUS indicators, makes it also a very simple unit to monitor.
- The Supercharger is also designed for
speed, for it can charge two Nickel-Cadmium batteries, (actually, any number of batteries
where the total number of cells is 50 or less), at maximum currents, and it can also
discharge two batteries at reduced currents, or one battery (25 cells or less) at maximum
current.
- The Supercharger also provides a Voltage
Control enhancement that allows the Charger-Analyzer, originally designed for Constant
Current operation on Nickel-Cadmium batteries to also be able to handle Lead-Acid and
other type of rechargeable batteries, where the end voltage is a more reliable indicator
of the state of charge (as opposed to Nickel-Cadmium batteries).
- Dependability is another great plus of the
Supercharger. 100% SOLID STATE circuitry requires no scheduled maintenance. No relay
contacts to inspect and clean. No high current carrying contacts to arc and burn. A simple
performance verification procedure is all it takes to determine if the instrument requires
re-calibration or repair.
- This instrument is also protected against
certain internal performance deviations and programming errors, plus it is also designed
to sense certain battery abnormalities to protect the instrument and battery from possible
damage. In the event that any malfunction takes place, VISUAL and AUDIBLE indicators will
turn on, alerting the operator and preventing any further operation of the unit.
- The Supercharger Battery Charger/Analyzer
System is comprised of the Charger/Analyzer, the Temp-plate, the Battery Cable and several
accessories.
- The specially designed circuity provides a
performance not achieved by any of the older conventional battery charging methods. The
Supercharger will deliver current into a short circuit or a battery or combination of
batteries totaling 50 cells, within ±1% of the programmed value, independent of line
voltage variations (within ± 10% of the nominal line voltage).
- Two 3-1/2 digit LED meters provide the
simultaneous monitoring of voltage and current on the charger and battery under test. The
voltmeter can also be used independently by way of the two external meter lead jacks.
SPECIFICATIONS
- CHARGE
1.1 CONTROL: SCR.
1.2 MAXIMUM CURRENT: 50 AMPS.
1.3 MINIMUM INCREMENT: 0.1 AMP.
1.4 ACCURACY and STABILITY of settings: ± 1% of reading, ±0.1 AMP.
1.5 MODES: Main, Topping and Discharge are Constant Current.
1.6 TIMER: 1 to 9 hours for MAIN charge time and 1 to 60 hours for TOTAL
time. Time can also be programmed in minutes by selecting the FAST mode in the TIMER
circuit board.
1.7 OVERTEMP PROTECTION: Four thermistors on the TEMP-PLATE measure the
battery temperature, and cut-off the charge when the surface temperature of the TEMP-PLATE
reaches 39oC.
1.8 OVER/UNDER CURRENT PROTECTION: A Monitor circuit continuously
compares the actual charge current with the programmed value and terminates the operation
if they differ by more than 1 AMP.
1.9 OVERVOLTAGE PROTECTION: Programmable, in accordance with the number
of cells selected, at the equivalent of 1.7 volts/cell, with an absolute maximum internal
limit set at 85 VOLTS (CC mode only).
1.10 REVERSE POLARITY PROTECTION: Operation of the unit is inhibited for
reverse voltages greater than 0.5V.
- DISCHARGE
2.1 CONTROL: Transistors, air
cooled.
2.2 MAXIMUM CURRENT: 50 AMPS. Total power dissipation must not exceed
1.2KW (1200 watts, the product of battery voltage and battery current). NOTE: Discharge current is automatically limited to 20 AMPS for battery
voltages in excess of 32 VOLTS.
2.3 MINIMUM INCREMENT: .1 AMP.
2.4 ACCURACY and STABILITY of settings: +-1% of reading, +-.1AMP.
2.5 MODES: Analysis (automatic cut-off) and deep cycle (full discharge).
2.6 TERMINAL VOLTAGE: Programmable, in accordance with the number of
cells selected, at the equivalent of 1 VOLT/cell.
2.7 OVERHEAT PROTECTION: Two thermistors measure the temperature of the
bank of discharge transistors and cut off the operation if the transistors surface
temperature exceeds 90oC.
2.8 OVER/UNDER CURRENT PROTECTION: A Monitor circuit continuously
compares the actual discharge current with the programmed value and terminates the
operation of the unit if they differ by more than 1 AMP.
2.9 REVERSE POLARITY PROTECTION: Operation of the unit is inhibited for
reverse voltages greater than .5 VOLTS.

c) TEST: Timer advances at the rate of 60
counts per second (SS:SS/60).
3.4 POWER FAILURE PROTECTION: An internal rechargeable battery maintains
(for several hours) the clock and other vital circuits for a dependable resumption of
operation after a power failure.
- LINE INPUT VOLTAGES
115V/208V/230/245VAC.
