Clarke IBC80A 12V/24V 80A Intelligent Battery Charger

Product description

The lightweight Clarke IBC80A Intelligent Battery Charger can be used to rapidly charge all 12V and 24V lead acid batteries including WET, MF, EFB, STD, GEL and AGM types.

This intelligent battery charger is able to deliver 20A of consistent charge for either a 12V or 24V battery and a massive 80A of charge using the Boost function to start vehicles. This ensures a rapid charge which saves valuable time for the user, with a standard 20A 12V battery being fully charged in just over half an hour.

The IBC80A is able to charge batteries ranging from 4Ah to 350Ah, making it suitable for use on a variety of vehicles. The Intelligent Battery Charger provides a 10 step charging process to charge, maintain, repair, boost and supply batteries. The internal microprocessor allows for a 10 step charging process consisting of:

Step 1: Analyse 1. Checks battery is connected to charger
Step 2: Desulphation. A pulse charge to remove sulphate
Step 3: Soft Start. Charges with a gradual increase in charging current
Step 4: Controlled Current Charge. Adjusts the charging current as needed
Step 5: Analyse 2. Conducts tests to ensure battery is absorbing charge
Step 6: Constant Output Charge. Charges with constant voltage and compensates fake full charge caused by high current charging
Step 7: Recovery Cycle Charge. Absorbs more charge and compensates side effects of reduced charging current
Step 8: Absorption. Charges with constant trickle current for maximum battery voltage
Step 9: Analyse 3. Tests if the battery can hold charge
Step 10: Maintenance. Continuously monitors the battery and charges with trickle current once the voltage is lower than the threshold.

This advanced process provides maximum charge and capacity to batteries, which may help prolong their life. The interface of the Clarke IBC80A Intelligent Battery Charger takes a complex process and simplifies it down for the user into three buttons (Display, Function & Rate Selection) along with digital display to identify when batteries are charged, making the product user friendly.

Safety is paramount with the Intelligent Battery Charger, utilising overload and overheat protection, reverse polarity protection, spark protection, and short circuit protection which ensures the user is safe at all times.
