LESTER AUTOMATIC CUTOFF CHARGER
Visit Lester Electrical Web site
Chargers are
available for charging 36, 48, and 60 volt systems and are rated
at charging amps of 25, 25, and 20 respectively. They require a
standard 15 amp 110 volt outlet for input power. All chargers are
designed to bring fully discharged batteries to full charge in 12
hours Actual charge time is proportional to the degree of discharge
of the batteries. There are overseas Lester Chargers available in 220V, 50 Cycle models.
Chargers can
be mounted on or off the boat. Plugging in either the AC or DC cord
starts the automatic charger which cuts off automatically when batteries
are fully charged. Chargers are normally stored in a suitable seat
or compartment on the boat. Adequate ventilation must be provided
when the charger is operating.
Here is what
Lester has to say about their automatic charger which they
guarantee for one year:
Eliminates
over-and-under Charging
The patented
electronic timer used in the Lestronic II is the only one of its
kind. Its purpose is to measure the rate of change in voltage increase
is reduced to a "known" level, that level represents the
maximum amount of usable power the battery will accept. Any further
charge would over-charge the battery, and damage the battery plates.
The Lestronic II is designed to shut off at the proper charge, preserving
battery life.
Higher Finish
Charge Rates
Because the
Lestronic II will not let batteries over-charge, we are also able
to build in a higher finish charge rate. This enables the Lestronic
II to fully charge your battery 20% faster than with manual-timer
chargers with lower finish charge rates.
Prolongs
Cell Life
Also, as batteries
age, they will generally begin to fail one cell at a time. When
this occurs, the finish charge rate must be cut back, because the
weaker cells cannot accept a full charge. If the charge is not cut
back, the strong cells will receive too much charge. This reduces
the life of the good cells, and the useful life of the battery itself.
The Lestronic II prohibits this overcharging, giving you longer battery life and more range per
charge.
Charging
Cycle is Fully Automatic
You can save
valuable time with the Lestronic II, because there is no turn-on
switch or timer to set. Once the unit is plugged in, the charge
cycle automatically begins.
