Charge N Maintain Automatic Battery Chargers

These fully automatic battery chargers offer a safe and practical method for charging all your 12V automotive and marine batteries.

Automatic charging protects your battery from being overcharged so you can leave the charger connected to the battery indefinitely.

Using the latest technology in battery chargers, switchmode chargers convert 240V AC power to 12V DC power using electronic components unlike traditional battery chargers that rely on heavy transformers. This allows the charger to be lightweight and compact without sacrificing on performance.

All Projecta Charge ‘N’ Maintain battery chargers are spark-free and are protected against accidental reverse connection making them safer to use around batteries.

The chargers are weatherproof (IP65 rated) so they can be used outside without getting damaged. Although the charger is a 240VAC device, care should be taken that the plug is not submersed in water.

The 4-stage chargers have a bi-colour LED charge indicator which shows green when charging and fully charged, and yellow if there is a fault. The 8-stage chargers have an interactive LCD screen which whilst charging will show the battery voltage and battery gauge. The 8-stage chargers also feature a mode button which will toggle through the different features of the charge on the LCD display.

Projecta Charge N Maintain Chargers are Smart Chargers. This technology offers switchable charging stages that ensure an accurate and efficient charge for your battery. 4-stage charging is a sophisticated charging technique that gives your battery longer life and better performance compared to using traditional chargers.

The 4 charge stages are:

Battery Health Check
The analysis mode tests the battery to ensure that it has taken the charge; if the battery passes the test the charger will proceed to the float stage.

Bulk (Constant current)
The Bulk stage reduces charging time by charging the battery at the maximum rate (constant current) to a set voltage, at which point the battery is approximately 80% charged.

Absorption (Constant Voltage)
The absorption stage charges the battery to 100% by adjusting the charge rate allowing the battery to absorb more power.

Float
The Float stage maintains the battery at 100% charge without overcharging or damaging the battery. This means the charger can be left connected to the battery indefinitely.

The 8 charge stages are all of the above, along with:

Battery Rescue
Applies a high voltage to break down the Lead Sulfate build up in heavily sulfated batteries.

Soft Pulse
Pulses a small current as the battery is starting to take charge.

Pulse Charge
Increases the pulse current as the battery is starting to take charge.

Soft Start
This is a preliminary charge process that gently introduces power to the battery, protecting the battery and increasing battery life.
