The Cadex Universal Conditioning Chargers (UCC) offer refinements usually not found on competitive chargers. The rugged design stands up to the critical demands of industrial users. Intelligent adapters allow simultaneous service of nickel-cadmium, nickel-metal-hydride and lithium-ion batteries on the same platform. A conditioning button conditions and calibrates batteries on demand, and a reverse-pulse charging prolongs battery life.
Charges Lithium and Nickel-based batteries from 3.6V to 15V at 15W and 25W. The charge currents range from 50mA to 3A at an input from 12VDC to 36VDC. This enables charging a 15V battery in a 12V vehicle.
Redundant algorithms provide safety even with a known defective battery. Incorrect battery voltage, mismatched cell and temperature extremes halt the charge by alerting the user with a red fail light. This feature protects the battery and charger.
When charging at cold temperatures, the Universal Conditioning Charger applies a gentle trickle charge to warm up the battery, then switches to fast-charge at operating temperature. A charge time-out prevents a prolonged charge if the temperature does not rise.
Should the temperature of a nickel-based battery reach the upper threshold level, the UCC allows the pack to cool before resuming at half the previous charge current. If the temperature threshold is reached again, the current is lowered further to reduce heat related battery damage.
Safety and redundancy are key in charger design. Advanced algorithms terminate the charge on incorrect voltages, mismatched cells and temperature extremes. RUN, READY and FAIL signals provide status.
Additional Information:The two-bay charger is designed for desktop, wall mount or vehicle use. The AC version comes with a 60-watt universal power supply. When used in a vehicle, a DC-DC converter regulates the 12VDC input voltage to assure proper charging.
