The ‘adaptive’ feature will automatically optimise the process relative to the way the battery is being used.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe right amount of charge: variable absorption time\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen only shallow discharges occur (a yacht connected to shore power for example) the absorption time is kept short in order to prevent overcharging of the battery. After a deep discharge the absorption time is automatically increased to make sure that the battery is completely recharged.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePreventing damage due to excessive gassing: the BatterySafe mode (see fig. 2 below)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf, in order to quickly charge a battery, a high charge current in combination with a high absorption voltage has been chosen, the Phoenix Charger will prevent damage due to excessive gassing by automatically limiting the rate of voltage increase once the gassing voltage has been reached (see the charge curve between 14,4 V and 15,0 V in fig. 2 below). Less maintenance and ageing when the battery is not in use: the Storage mode (see fig. 1 \u0026amp; 2 below)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe storage mode kicks in whenever the battery has not been subjected to discharge during 24 hours. In the storage mode float voltage is reduced to 2,2 V\/cell (13,2 V for 12 V battery) to minimise gassing and corrosion of the positive plates. Once a week the voltage is raised back to the absorption level to ‘equalise’ the battery. This feature prevents stratification of the electrolyte and sulphating, a major cause of early battery failure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTo increase battery life: temperature compensation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery Phoenix Charger comes with a battery temperature sensor. When connected, charge voltage will automatically decrease with increasing battery temperature. This feature is especially recommended for sealed batteries and\/or when important fluctuations of battery temperature are expected.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBattery voltage sense\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn order to compensate for voltage loss due to cable resistance, Phoenix Chargers are provided with a voltage sense facility so that the battery always receives the correct charge voltage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUniversal 90-265 V AC input voltage range and also suitable for DC supply (AC-DC and DC-DC operation)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe chargers will accept a 90-400 V DC supply.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eComputer interface\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery Phoenix Charger is ready to communicate with a computer through its RS-485 data port.
