BATTERY CHARGER GBC24V10A-FCH-DCH

GBC24V10A-FCH-DCH (GBC-FCH-DCH) is a microprocessor device for charging, fast charging by GFCH method, conditioning and maintenance of lead-acid batteries of nominal voltages 6V, 12V and 24V at home. The GBC-FCH-DCH is a single-phase high-frequency intelligent constant voltage charger with current limitation. This means that the voltage at the output, i.e. on the connected battery, reaches with current that does not exceed the current limit, and after reaching the set voltage, the voltage level is maintained constant and the current drops as the battery is recharged. The magnitude of the charging current (current limit) is chosen depending on battery capacity or desired charging speed. Also, the value of the charging voltage is adjustable for various charging modes. Charging is voltage, current, time and capacity controlled and numerous protection measures have been implemented. GBC-FCH-DCH has RESET and MAINTENANCE operations. Namely, as the device supports charging and discharging operations, it is possible to perform the operation of discharging the battery with a constant current up to the level of 1.75V / Cell (5.25V, 10.5V or 21V) before the start of charging. Also, after the fast charge is completed, the device can enter the Maintenance mode by charging battery with a constant voltage of 2.25V / Cell (6.75V, 13.5V or 27V). As the device is microprocessor, with measurement of current, voltage, temperature of the cooler of semiconductor components and the case, it is possible to implement various algorithms. It is possible to change the voltage and current limits, condition the charging characteristics, pause, wait for the event (measuring Ah in the charge), condition the end of charging, etc. The energy part of the charger is the Mean-Well RPS-500 module. Thanks to the voltage charging characteristic, it is possible to charge without supervision, because there is no overcharging (overnight or on weekends). Also, if the mains supply fails during charging, the device automatically resumes charging with the parameters that were before the mains failure. The LCD display with 2x16 characters displays the values of current, voltage, time, capacity, warnings, irregularities, etc. and as well as setting the device through about 10 menus (selection of current and charging voltage, total Ah, charging duration, reset operation and / or battery maintenance ...). On the front of the device there are start (scroll) and stop (select) keys, R/S switch (Ready/Set), LCD display for indication. On the side of the device are the charger terminals and the input of the network cable. The charger is housed in a plastic case with a carrying handle. The charger version with automatic start and stop for 24V batteries has 5 LEDs for status indication. This version does not have an LCD display and keyboard.

GBC12-24V10A-FCH-DCH Charging Curve

The automatic start and charge rate functions have been implemented. Namely, when the device recognizes the battery connection, the charging process with preset parameters is automatically started within ten seconds. If the battery is disconnected during charging, charging stops. Each switching ON of the device (the mains plug is plugged into mains) is followed by an automatic start of charging if a suitable battery is connected. In a “poofer” connection, charging is activated when the battery voltage drops below a certain level due to self-discharge or consumer consumption.Charging curve and parameters for auto start are: NoCell = 12 for 24V battery:Phase 1.
