- Ulazni priključak: Connect the positive (+) terminal of the starter battery to the DC Input (+) terminal of the charger. Connect the negative (-) terminal of the starter battery to the DC Input (-) terminal of the charger.
- Izlazna veza: Connect the positive (+) terminal of the auxiliary battery to the DC Output (+) terminal of the charger. Connect the negative (-) terminal of the auxiliary battery to the DC Output (-) terminal of the charger.
- Osigurači: Install appropriate fuses on both the input and output positive lines as close to the batteries as possible to protect the wiring and charger.
- uzemljenje: Osigurajte pravilno uzemljenje sistema.
5.3 Odabir tipa baterije
The charger is compatible with various 12V battery types. Use the DIP switches on the side of the unit to select the correct battery type for your auxiliary battery. Refer to the label on the charger or the table below for specific DIP switch settings.
Slika 6: The charger's compatibility with various 12V battery types, including Lithium (Li), Sealed Lead-Acid (SLA), AGM, Gel, and Flooded (FLD) batteries. The selection is typically made via DIP switches.
Napomena: Incorrect battery type selection can lead to improper charging and reduced battery lifespan. Always verify the correct setting for your battery.
6. Uputstvo za upotrebu
Once installed and the battery type is selected, the charger operates automatically.
6.1 Automatsko punjenje
The charger will automatically begin charging the auxiliary battery when the input voltage from the starter battery (e.g., from the alternator) is sufficient. It will stop charging when the input voltage drops below a certain threshold, preventing the starter battery from being drained.
6.2 Multi-Stage Punjenje
The SDC-20A employs an intelligent multi-stage charging process to optimize battery charging and extend battery life:
- Lead-Acid Batteries (Bulk, Absorption, Float):
- Bulk Stage: Charges the battery at maximum current until it reaches approximately 80% capacity.
- Apsorpcija Stage: Naboji pri konstantnoj zapreminitage, sa postepenim smanjenjem strujeasing, bringing the battery to 100% charge.
- Float Stage: Održava bateriju na sigurnom nivou napunjenostitage, compensating for self-discharge and keeping it fully charged.
- Lithium (LiFePO4) Batteries (Two-Stage):
- Konstantna struja (CC): Charges at maximum current until the battery voltage dostigne određeni nivo.
- Constant Voltage (CV): Naboji pri konstantnoj zapreminitage until the current drops to a low level, indicating a full charge.
