Victron Energy Phoenix Battery Charge, 24V/25A (2+1) 120-240V, Blue, Aluminum

Phoenix charger 24/25 (2+1) 120-240v - adaptive 4-stage charge characteristic: bulk - absorption - float - storage. Two full rated outputs and one 4 amp output. Universal input 90-265v, 50/60hz. The phoenix charger features a microprocessor controlledadaptivebattery management system that can be preset to suit different types of batteries. Theadaptivefeature will automatically optimise the process relative to the way the battery is being used. The right amount of charge: variable absorption time when only shallow discharges occur (a yacht connected to shore power for example) the absorption time is kept short in order to prevent overcharging of the battery. After a deep discharge the absorption time is automatically increased to make sure that the battery is completely recharged. Preventing damage due to excessive gassing: the batterysafe mode (see fig. 2 below) if, in order to quickly charge a battery, a high charge current in combination with a high absorption voltage has been chosen, the phoenix charger will prevent damage due to excessive gassing by automatically limiting the rate of voltage increase once the gassing voltage has been reached (see the charge curve between 14,4 v and 15,0 v in fig. 2 below). Less maintenance and aging when the battery is not in use: the storage mode (see fig. 1 & 2 below) the storage mode kicks in whenever the battery has not been subjected to discharge during 24 hours. In the storage mode float voltage is reduced to 2,2 v/cell (13,2 v for 12 v battery) to minimize gassing and corrosion of the positive plates. Once a week the voltage is raised back to the absorption level toequalizethe battery. This feature prevents stratification of the electrolyte and sulphation, a major cause of early battery failure. To increase battery life: temperature compensation every phoenix charger comes with a battery temperature sensor. When connected, charge voltage will automatically decrease with increasing battery temperature. This feature is espe
