Page 4: Description
Description these chargers are used to charge lead acid batteries (fle ece/agm/gel/wet). Sec-1215e (maximum charging current 15a) and sec-1230e ( maximum charging current 30a) are used to charge 12vbatteries. Sec-2415e (maximum charging current 15a) is used to charge 24v batteries. These chargers ca...
Page 5: Charging Stages
Charging stages note ! - voltage readings on no load the output has one common negative terminal and three positive terminals for charging 3 banks of batteries. Each positive terminal has an internal isolating diode in series which has a forward voltage drop of 0.8 to1.1v. On no load (that is when n...
Page 6: Caution!
Caution! 3 stage charging is recommended for charging stand-alone unloaded batteries(there is no load connected to the battery when it is being charged). If a load is also connected simultaneously, a part of the charger‘s output current will be diverted to this load. Thus, the charger may remain loc...

Connecting the batteries or other dc loads the output has a common negative(-) terminal and 3 positive terminals for connection of 3 banks of batteries. Each positive connector has it‘s own internal isolating diode which works as a battery isolator. If more than one bank of batteries is connected, t...
Page 10: Operation
Operation when the charger is switched on, the red led lights up indicating that output voltage is available. When the batteries are being charged or when the charger is supplying other dc load, the current fed by the charger will be indicated by the ammeter. When the batteries are discharged, they ...
