Battery Chargers

Powerfactor's range covers chargers for charging NiCd, NiMh, Li-Ion and lead acid batteries.

Our lead acid range starts with low power 'plug-in' style switched mode models through to high power ruggedised semi-military units.  All models feature a 3 stage charging technique which safely charges in the fastest possible time.  Some models are available to medical specification and also in IP67 waterproof versions.

Our fast NiCd and NiMh chargers employ the -deltaV charging principle.  This reduces the fast charge output to trickle when the battery is fully charged and has proved itself to be a very reliable cut-off method.  All models are AC mains input except model 9243 which accepts a 10-30VDC input.

Our Li-Ion chargers charge between 3 to 8 cells with maximum charge currents of 4A to 1.7A respectively, these chargers meet the more stringent requirements demanded by these batteries to ensure fast, safe and complete charging.  Model 2240Li has been selected by Varta-Microbattery for charging their new Polyflex Lion batteries

Just introduced, we have the 'Oracle'  AC-DC switch-mode power supply that operates in conjunction with a single back-up battery to provide a robust and reliable source of power for mission- critical industrial applications

Available in both 12V and 24V versions, the Oracle features link-selectable input voltage ranges of 90-132V or 180- 264V and is equipped with one main output, one temperature-compensated battery charger output and two auxiliary outputs.
In the event of a mains failure, the backup battery supplies power to the load via an internal diode, thereby ensuring that the output is maintained without interruption.

Built-in protection circuitry guards against short-circuit overloads and over-voltages, while an under-voltage lockout facility prevents damage to the battery when it is fully discharged.

The Oracle incorporates volt-free relays and LEDs for monitoring system status, and these can be factory-configured to meet the user’s specific requirements.
