Battery chargers no longer have to rely on bulky and heavy
transformers. Chargers are now smaller, lighter and more portable
than before. The smaller footprint allows them to be used virtually
anywhere. Savings gained from material cost and logistics is
transferred to the end user. With modern high frequency designs,
switchmode chargers now operate a efficiencies higher than 85%
compared to the old designs that have typical efficiencies of 50% -
60%.

This means less heat is generated and less electricity is wasted.
Switchmode chargers also have stable output voltages, regardless of
input AC fluctuations. This ensures that batteries are never
undercharged, preventing sulfation, which shortens the lifespan of
batteries. In fact, used in parallel with the Sulfarid Desulfator,
batteries that had previously failed and were junked due to sulfation
can be restored to optimum working condition.
Coupled with software, these chargers can be user-programmed to charge
batteries of any size and voltage. Charging data can be stored at fixed
intervals for reference and R&D purposes. With preset profiles in place,
users now have the ability to charge individual unformed batteries,
something unheard of in the past! |
