300, 500, and 800 series; metal housing for 1000, 2000,
4000, and 10A series.
Screw-type terminals
for 250 & 500 series, I/O cord with
battery connectors for 300, 800, 1000, 2000, 4000 and
10A series chargers.
Operating Characteristics
“A” Series:
Automatic dual rate chargers sense battery
requirements and automatically switch from the fast charge
to float mode, or vice versa. LED’s provide visual indication
of the charging mode. Automatic chargers combine the
advantages of float and cycle chargers; recharge time is
short yet batteries are safe from being overcharged. This
charger is ideal for cyclic applications where recharge time
is critical and the battery may be left on charge indefinitely.
As a result charging is fool-proof.
“F” Series:
Float chargers are designed to provide optimum
life for batteries used in standby applications where
charging is continuous. The chargers deliver a constant
voltage of 2.25 to 2.30 volts per cell which allow the battery
to seek its own current level and maintain itself in a fully
charged condition. This series is best suited for burglar
and fire alarm equipment, emergency lighting, memory
protection, or UPS systems where the battery serves as
back-up power to the AC source.

The “NRTL/C” mark appearing next to the CSA stamp indicates that the charger was also tested to meet U.L. requirements (UL 1310). Under the provisions of this agreement, CSA
and U.L. can now test to each others’ specifications and thus obtain approval for both organizations.
** PSC-122000A and PSC-124000A can be switched to accept 115 VAC or 230 VAC input (47-63 Hz) allowing usage both here and abroad.
*** PSC-124000AP should be used when the automatic dual rate charger is used like a power supply. As such it can supply a continuous load current of up to 2.5A, yet still switch into
float mode (13.8V) when the battery is fully charged.
Notes
Recharge time depends on the depth of the preceding
discharge and the output current of the charger. To
determine the approximate recharge time of a fully
discharged battery, divide the battery’s amp. hrs. by
the rated output current of the charger and multiply
the resulting number of hours by a factor of 1.75 to
compensate for the declining output current during the
charge cycle. If the amount of amp. hrs. discharged
from the battery is known, use it instead of the battery’s
capacity to make the calculation.
When charging batteries in series
(positive terminal
of one battery is connected to negative of the other) all
batteries in the string will receive the same amount of
charge current, individual battery voltages may vary.
When charging batteries in parallel
(positive terminals
are connected with positive terminals, negative terminals
with negative), all batteries in the string are subject to the
same charge voltage, but the charge current each battery
receives can and will vary until equalization is reached.
Power-Sonic does not offer chargers for batteries with capacities higher than 100 AH. If you have any queries or
difficulties in locating a suitable charger for batteries above 100AH, our Technical department will be happy to help.
