CTEK CT7000 BATTERY CHARGER


Five Step Fully Automatic Electronic switch-mode battery charger for all 12 V lead-acid batteries, 14-225 Ah.

FEATURES
• Five Step Fully Automatic (IIUoIUp).
• Charges lead-acid batteries (Wet, MF, GEL and AGM) from 14 Ah to 225 Ah.
• Maintenance pulse charging.
• Supply-mode using the Float approach for 100% State of Charge.
• Boost for recovering batteries that have been deep discharged.
• Increased battery life and performance.
• Charges even drained batteries.
• Pulse recover of lightly sulphated batteries.
• Four charging selections, 14.4 V, 14.7 V, 13.6 V/Supply and 16 V/Boost.
• Low ripple voltage (<150mV).
• High efficiency: 85%
• Delivered with a connection set with terminal clips.
• Compact design with mounting brackets.
• 2 year warranty against manufacturing defects.

SAFETY FEATURES
• Safe to use with sensitive electronics.
• Sparkfree (this function is suppressed in the Supply-mode).
• Short circuit and reverse polarity protected.
• Double isolated.
• Water resistant, outdoor use.
• Progressive temperature protection.
• Tested by SEMKO AB, in conformity with the following standards:EN 60335-29, EN 55014-1, EN 55014-2, EN 61000-3-2, EN 61000-3-3, EN 60555-2.

CHARGE CHARACTERISTIC

MULTI XS 7000 Battery Charger has a three step fully automatic charge profile,

Setting: 14.4 V or 14.7 V
Start
Starting phase for charging. The current is restricted to 3 A. This phase ends when the voltage is above 10.5 V, and the charger switches to bulk charging.
Bulk charging
Main part of the charge cycle and about 80% of the charge is returned. The charge is carried out at maximum charge until full voltage is achieved.
Absorbtion charging
Final part of the charge. The voltage is kept constant until the current has dropped to a very low level.
Pulse Maintenance charging
The state of charge is between 95% and 100%. A pulse at 5 A is sent out if the voltage drops below 12.9 V. This gives minimum water loss and maximum life. The charger could be connected for years without problems.



Setting: Supply
The Supply mode setting has a constant voltage at 13.6 V and current up to 7 A. It could be used for maintenance charge using the Float approach. This approach keeps the battery at 100 % State of Charge, but the constant small overcharge also increases water loss. There is no need for a battery to be connected at this mode for longer periods. Note that the Spark Free function and the indication of Reverse Polarity is suppressed in this mode, but the protection is still working.

Setting: Boost 16 V/1.5 A/4 h

The Boost-setting gives a constant current at 1.5 A, maximised at 16 V for 4 hours. It will automatically go over to 14.4 V pulse setting after a completed cycle. This mode is used to recover deep discharged batteries.
Using the MULTI XS 7000 will enhance battery life and ensure a high degree of operational safety.

BATTERY TYPES AND PROGRAMMING
The MULTI XS 7000 can be set very easily to charge Wet, MF, GEL and AGM lead-acid battery types. With MULTI XS 7000 you can charge batteries, from 14 Ah to 225 Ah.

TEMPERATURE PROTECTION
To protect the charger from overheating, the MULTI XS 7000 is equipped with a power delimiter. At raised ambient temperatures output power is reduced. The power will also be reduced if the charger should be accidentally covered. In this way the charger is protected from damage. The charger continues to operate but at a lower power output. When the ambient temperature drops the power will automatically rise again.

* Back Current Drain is what is draining the battery if the charger is connected without the power cord connected.
** Quality of the current and voltage is very important. A linear charger produces a current with a high ripple. High current ripple heats up the battery and makes the positive electrode to age prematurely. High voltage ripple could harm other equipment, which is connected to the battery. CTEK Multi XS 7000 produces a high quality current with very low ripple. There is no need to disconnect the battery from the vehicle.
