2.4 APPLICATIONS
These chargers can be used for the following:
•
To trickle charge 12 VDC Lead Acid batteries.
•
To compensate for battery drain due to low currents drawn by small instrumentation in
vehicles. Electronics such as clocks, vehicle alarms etc add to the drain of the battery,
even when the ignition is off.
•
To charge small electronic devices like cell phones, iPods, iPhones, PDAs etc. These
devices come with associated charging adapters that allow charging of their batteries
through a 12 V DC power source. These charging adapters come with a Cigarette
Lighter Plug for connecting to a DC power source through a Cigarette Lighter
Receptacle. As the Sun Charger comes with a Cigarette Lighter Plug, a suitable adapter
will be required to convert the Cigarette Lighter Plug of the SunCharger to a Cigarette
Lighter Receptacle (this adapter is not provided with the SunCharger).
