Charging batteries
The power supply can be used to charge lead-acid or maintenance-free batteries. (Four 12 V batteries in series).
Instructions for charging batteries:
- Adjust the output voltage, measured at no load and at the battery end of the cable, very precisely to the end-of-charge voltage.
End-of-charge voltage | 55.0 V | 54.3 V | 53.6 V |
Battery temperature | 20°C | 30°C | 40°C |
- Use a 15 A or 16 A circuit breaker or a blocking diode between the power supply and the battery.
- Make sure that the output current of the power supply is below the permissible charging current of the battery.
- Only use matched batteries when connecting 12 V types in series.
- The return current to the power supply (battery discharge current) is typically 14 mA when the power supply is switched off (except when using a blocking diode).
