It is designed to quickly and accurately recharge your batteries using algorithms that help maximise service life. Multistage smart charging technology enables the charger to be connected to your battery banks permanently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs dictated by battery manufacturer’s recommendations, batteries require a multistage charge sequence for perfect, fast and accurate charging. Our multistage smart 40A battery charger delivers four primary charge stages:-\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eStage 1\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e – Bulk or Boost Charge; The battery is charged at full rated output current of the charger until the battery reaches its final charging voltage, known as its absorption voltage. In this step, around 80% of the battery capacity is recovered as fast as possible.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eStage 2\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e – Absorption Charge; With the charger voltage held steady the remaining 20% is replaced allowing the current to drop as the battery approaches its full charge.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eStage 3\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e – Float; Finally, in the float stage the charger voltage is lowered and held at a constant and safe predetermined level. This prevents the battery from being overcharged while supporting any additional loads connected to the battery, such as DC lighting and refrigerators. This stage allows for the charger to be used as a DC power supply.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eStage 4\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e– Maintenance; This stage is a regular timed “return to bulk” stage. After 7 days of constant operation in “float” the Enerdrive | Dometic 12V 40A AC Battery Charger will switch the charger from float to bulk to agitate the batteries electrolyte helping to provide an extended service life.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e 1 PRIORITY – Charge Where You Need it Most\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 12V 40A AC Battery Charger delivers a priority charge to Bank 1, or your main house battery bank which allows the charger to get this bank recharged the quickest, then transition the cycle to the lesser bank 2 \u0026amp; 3 batteries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe priority function also allows you to have a battery chemistry different to the other two, such as an AGM battery for house and lead calcium for your start banks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the event that all 3 banks are in need of a charge, an over-ride function helps recover all 3 banks quickly and evenly before switching back to prioritise on Bank 1.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAll About Lithium\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe recent advances in high capacity Lithium battery technology have seen the need to develop a battery charger suited to their needs. With most traditional ‘smart’ chargers their suitability to Lithium batteries is limited. Lithium batteries require a constant current \/ constant voltage charge algorithm and are unique in that almost every amp-hour of charge delivered by the charger is accepted as one amp hour into the battery, hence the need to deliver a constant current as long as possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Enerdrive | Dometic 12V 40A AC Battery Charger can be programmed for Lithium batteries. This setting delivers the full rated output of the charger constantly with the charger switching to power supply mode once the voltage peak is met (indicating a full battery bank). The graph shows the charger algorithm perfectly supporting Lithium battery requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Display Panel\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Enerdrive | Dometic 12V 40A AC Battery Charger display gives you all the information you need for the operation of your charger. At a glance, key information such as charger amps, battery voltage and charge state continually alternate on the screen. When in float \/ power supply mode, the load amps are displayed so you can see exactly what the charger is doing. The display also allows you to program all settings of the charger, as well as activate the silent mode.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSilence when you need it – By pressing the “SEL” button for 5 seconds, the Enerdrive | Dometic 12V 40A AC Battery Charger enters the ‘Silent’ mode that prohibits the fan from working. This ensures totally silent and safe operation at night, ideal if the charger is located close to your sleeping quarters. Silent mode limits current output to no more than 50%, and is programmed to remain on for 12 hours before automatically returning to a normal ‘fan-on \u0026amp; full output’ setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-17021 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/enerdrive.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/epower-charger-tempsens.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"190\" height=\"190\" srcset=\"https:\/\/enerdrive.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/epower-charger-tempsens.png 1200w, https:\/\/enerdrive.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/epower-charger-tempsens-500x500.png 500w, https:\/\/enerdrive.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/epower-charger-tempsens-100x100.png 100w, https:\/\/enerdrive.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/epower-charger-tempsens-1000x1000.png 1000w, https:\/\/enerdrive.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/epower-charger-tempsens-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/enerdrive.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/epower-charger-tempsens-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/enerdrive.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/epower-charger-tempsens-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/enerdrive.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/epower-charger-tempsens-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/enerdrive.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/epower-charger-tempsens-400x400.png 400w, https:\/\/enerdrive.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/epower-charger-tempsens-418x418.png 418w, https:\/\/enerdrive.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/epower-charger-tempsens-512x512.png 512w, https:\/\/enerdrive.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/epower-charger-tempsens-600x600.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 190px) 100vw, 190px\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBattery Temperature Sensor\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIncluded standard with all Enerdrive | Dometic Battery Chargers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"yikes-custom-woo-tab-title yikes-custom-woo-tab-title-features\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eResources\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"icon-nav-list\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"icon_error-oct_alt\" style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0786\/4025\/1165\/files\/AC-Charger-Combination-Manual-Rev-5.5_2023.pdf?v=1788002510\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eAC Charger Combination Manual Rev 5.5\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"icon_error-oct_alt\" style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0786\/4025\/1165\/files\/EN3REM-Instructions-V3.pdf?v=1788002502\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eEN3REM ePOWER Remote Installation and Operation Guide\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"icon_paperclip\" style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0786\/4025\/1165\/files\/Enerdrive-ePOWER-Charger-Lithium-Algorithm-1.pdf?v=1788002506\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eePOWER Lithium Charging Profile\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0786\/4025\/1165\/files\/ePOWER-Charger-Brochure_2022_WEB.pdf?v=1788002514\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eePOWER Battery Charger Brochure\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Dometic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52832171393309,"sku":"EN31240","price":699.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0786\/4025\/1165\/files\/EN31240.jpg?v=1788010093","url":"https:\/\/www.thebulletsa.com.au\/products\/12v-40a-ac-battery-charger","provider":"Bullet Shooting Accessories","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
