Ciao ADV,
Sto per montare lo sterling alternator to battery charger
http://www.sterlingpowerproductsbam.co.u...ltbatt.htm e non so come settare il tipo di batteria.... Per i servizi ho una batteria 'sbagliata' (perche' per avviamento, ma e' nuova e regalata quindi la tengo
) si tratta di questa fiamm
http://www.fiamm.com/BATTERIE-AVVIAMENTO...rod-82-303
mentre per il motore c'e' una gel.
Dalla kenixmarine mi hanno confermato che la carica della batteria motore e' molto piu' blanda quindi non ci sono problemi ad avere batterie di tipo diverso.
Secondo voi come devo impostare 'l'attrezzo' per ricaricare efficacemente la fiamm come batteria servizi??
Sotto sono riportati i tipi di batterie supportati dallo sterling:
1) {ie1 U.S. spec. l:loosi 14.0. Tine i - l0 hls, Float 11.7V
American gel manufactures want a different charging regime than the European ones. If in doubt ask the baftery supplier.
2) ÄGM U.S. spcc. Binst 1.tr.-15!. |'iure 1 - 8 hrs. Floal l-1.-l5v
This is the setting which most American AGM battery manufacturers would like. Ask your battery supplier for the gorrect setting as this is a new battery type which is becoming more and more popular.
3) Sealcd Lcad-Acid Bocst 14.:1V. Tirne I - l2 hrs, Float i3.6V
Sealed lead-acid batteries are simply lead-acid batterios which have no access to top up the water level.
4) Iluropean Gei ,r liriirle spcc. Boost t;tr.4i Jure 12 - ?4 hrs' Irltiat ll.8V This program is, as per the recommendation of Exide, set at a voltage of 14.4 volts for about 12-24hrs. The unit then drops to float voltage to maintainlhe batteries.
5) liuropeanAGM spec. I]oost 14.6V, l'inte I - 8 hrs, Float l-l.lV
This is what the European AGM suppliers such as Optima want for their
batteries. Again we would strongly recommend you contact your battery
supplier to confirm which charging option they require for their batteries. This higher voltage appears to be for AGM batteries with a highdr calcium content on the plates.
6) Open Lead-Acir1 Boost 14.8V Timc I - 8 trrs, Ploat l-1.3V
or sealed lead-acid batteries, where you can unscrew the lid ofthe battery and are able to top it up with water, The maximum boost voltage for this fype of batteries is 14.8V.
7) Calciunr-Calciurn (Jiqr-rid lead-acirl): tr]ocst l5.lV. Time 1 - 6l.rrs, Itloat 13.6V
Some modern batteries have had calcium added to their plates in order to reduce water loss in the battery. The down side with this is that you need a high charge voltage to get the batteries charged. This setting goes up as far as 15.1 volts on boost and can have a detrimental effect on voltage-senstive equipment on the
boat/vehicle. It is important to ensure that your equipment works safely at a voltage in the region of 15.4 volts (x2 lor 24V systems) before selecting this option, most equipment does but not all.
8) Ile-suiphatir:rr Selling: lloost LE.5!', Timc 4 hrs, Float none/otT.
WARNING: This is a very dangerous setting if used without understanding what it does. First of all, the batteries should be isolated lrom the boat's system as the voltage will be pushed up close to 16 volts which will damage some onboard equipment. The reason why you would engage this charge mode is to blast the
sulfation off old or unused batteries to regenerate them. It will probably need to be used on an old set olbatteries which are not charging or holding a charge.
This program will help a lot to remove the sulfation from the plates. It is
unlikely this setting would need to be used when the batteries are still new. Do not use this setting on sealed, gel or AGM batteries as they will gas and you will be unable to replace the water loss! DO NOT USE ON LIFEPO4 BATTERIES
9) LiFePO4 Lithium batteries, this is a charge of 14.8 volts and a {loat of I 3.8
