[RE-wrenches] Industrial battery chargers

[The Office of Tom Duffy]

I’ve used the Associated 6080A charger for years 0 to 106 volts at 6 amps.
If you know what you’re doing it can be a great tool to bring back batteries

Hi Drake (et alia)

 

An quality inverter/charger would work for half of our situations. The other
half is that we do capacity recovery of AGM and flooded batteries. For that
I need unregulated or controllable voltage and manual current limiting.

I've been through this one, to balance the third leg of a 3 phase generator
which has a pair of stacked SW4024s on it.  After a long search of the
available industrial chargers, we added another SW4024.  The system had
certain heavy surge loads, which we put on a special panel powered  by the
third inverter.

For the money, I think another inverter is the best bet.  Maybe Chinese
imports may change the situation, but if you want to stay away from them,
another inverter would likely still be your most economical choice.

Hello battery wrenches,








I am looking for recommendations for an industrial grade battery charger for
our shop. Most of what I am finding is in India, China or Germany but I
would like something a little closer to home. I am looking for these
features: 

*	automatic 3 stage charging selectable for 6 or 12 volt AGM, flooded
or GEL 
*	manual adjustable voltage control up to 20+ Vdc 
*	manual adjustable current limiter 1 to 50+ amps 
*	adjustable timer shut off 

Thanks,
