Explanation of the Features:
The advance technology of the
SuperCharger Battery Chargers manufactured by ACI is fundamentally
different from all other battery chargers. The conventional linear
battery charger is an electrical device whereas the 1202CC, 1206CC,
and 1214CC are a lightweight sophisticated electronic device.
Model 1202CC, 1206CC, and 1214CC are
also available for 230VAC applications.
1.
Switch-Mode Technology:
Most Battery Chargers use
linear technology, which convert the 115VAC to 12 VDC at 60 Hz.
This requires a large transformer, which has the disadvantage of
lower efficiency resulting in higher heat generation, larger
size and weight.
SuperChargers transform the
115 VAC into 12 VDC at about 100,000 Hz (1667 times faster
than conventional chargers), which requires a
much smaller transformer and this results in a
unit of smaller size, low weight and improved efficiency.
The 1202CC, 1206CC and 1214CC
use sophisticated electronic circuitry with microchips. All
present day computers use switch-mode technology.
2.
International Safety Approvals & Listing:
Both UL & cUL listed.
3. Input
Requirements:
a) 90VAC to 132VAC
b) 47 - 63 Hz
Input AC tolerance +/- 20%. This
means SuperChargers will operate satisfactorily in areas where the
input voltage is low.
These chargers are also
suitable for every part of the world where 115 VAC is used
as well as Japan where input is 100 VAC.
4.
Output:
a) 1 Amp, 3 Amp, and 7 Amp
Constant Current @ 12 Volts DC
(Equivalent to 2, 6, and
14 Amp tapered charger in charging time)
b)
Load Regulation @ 4%
c)
Ripple Voltage:
Very low @ 1%
The peak to peak ripple
voltage into a resistive load is less than 200mV for the output
voltage above 12 VDC.

description below
Stage 1:
De-Sulfation - Deep Discharge Charging Pulse Mode: LED Flash
The charger starts charging at
0.5V and gives a pulse current up to 5V. This has an effect of
removing loose sulphation formed during the deep discharge state
of the battery.
Stage 2:
Constant Current Mode (CC): LED Yellow
The chargers change to
constant current 1Amp, 3 Amp and 7Amp. When the battery voltage
reaches 14.4V, the charging stage changes from CC (Constant
Current) to CV (Constant Voltage) mode.
Stage 3:
Cell Equalization -Constant Voltage Mode (CV): LED Yellow
The chargers hold the
battery at 14.4V and the current slowly reduces. When the
current reaches 50% of CC, this point is called the Switching
Point at which time the charger goes into True float mode. The
Switching Point is one of the most unique features of this
battery charger. It can adjust the current automatically
according to battery capacity. Other chargers are not capable of
adjusting the current automatically.
Stage
4: True Float - Standby Voltage Mode: LED Green
The chargers maintain the
battery voltage at 13.8V as the current slowly reduces to zero.
Super Chargers can be left
connected indefinitely without harming the battery.
Recharging:
LED Yellow
If
the battery voltage drops down to 12.5V, the chargers change
from the current mode to Constant Current mode and restarts
charging. The charging cycle will go through Stage 2 to Stage 4.
6.
Two colours and function in
one LED:
LED is used to show the charging status.
When the LED is Yellow, the charger is in charging or recharging
mode and the current is 3 A constant. When the LED turns Green, the
charger is in Standby mode and no current (zero) is flowing.
7. Protection:
a) Reverse polarity
protection - provided
b) Short circuit
protection - provided
c) Over-Voltage
Protection - provided
d) Over current
protection - provided
e) AC Surge
Protection - provided
f) Soft start and
stop: Starts and stops gradually.
No sudden in-rush of current. This protects both
the battery and all other circuits connected to the charger.
8. De-sulfation of battery: The charger
will remove loose sulfation, which increases battery life. (Hard
sulfation cannot be reversed).
9. Electromagnetic Interference (EMI):
The charger will not generate excessive radiated
or conducted emissions. No interference with TV, radio, computer
or other electronic equipment.
Meets FCC Class B.
10. On-board Feature: Optional
The optional model has a third output wire, which
provides an Inhibit signal that will prohibit the operation of
the vehicle's motor controller whenever the charger is plugged
to an AC source.
11. Inhibit signal:
The Inhibit signal is an open circuit output,
leakage of less than 5 microAmp, when the charger is not
connected to an AC source. This signal will be less than 50 mV
DC while sinking 10 mA when the charger is connected to an AC
source.
