MAINS BATTERY CONDITIONERS

MAINS POWERED LEAD ACID BATTERY CONDITIONER/CHARGERS.

Price and Availability

A traditional battery charger simply keeps charging the battery at the output voltage of the charger (around 14.5v for a 12v battery), and so if you leave it permanently connected it will over-charge the battery, and eventually evaporate the electrolyte, or cause other fatal damage in a gel battery. Don't forget that a 12 volt battery is actually 13.2v (2.2v per cell).
Whereas a battery conditioner reduces it's output voltage to match with the battery's voltage as it rises to the correct level, and can therefore be left permanently connected. Conditioners are sometimes referred to as "intelligent" or "smart" or "trickle" chargers.
Automatic charger for maintenance free 6V, 12V or 24V lead acid batteries (including Gel filled). Rotary switch to adjust the voltage to the lead acid battery to be charged. Overcharging protection and trickle charge. Protection against short-circuit and reverse-connect. The pack includes crocodile clips to connect to the battery. Automatically drops to a trickle charge when the battery is full - so can be left connected to the battery.
