Description of Charger Pennant-30 (automatic, 14.8/16/19 V, arrow.amperm)
DescriptionThe charger is designed to charge 12V car batteries of any capacity in automatic mode (automatic current reduction at the end of the charge).
Charging voltage ranges for different types of batteries: 14.8V - automatic charging of car batteries with a nominal voltage of 12V, both old and new types. voltage 12V, (possibility to charge alkaline batteries) overheating protection Built-in microfanBuilt-in microfan Short-circuit protectionShort-circuit protection Reverse polarity protectionElectronic polarity reversal protection Charging a fully discharged batteryCharging a fully discharged battery Pointer ammeterIndicator current As a power supplyPossibility to use as a power supply battery voltage: 12 VMaximum charging current, A: 20 Current adjustment: smooth Minimum charging current, A: 0.8 Voltage adjustment: switch Charge voltage, V: 14.8, 16, 19 short circuit, overheating, polarity reversalCharging a fully discharged battery: yesUsing as a power supply: yesUsing as a starting device: yesDimensions, mm: 155x85x200Weight, kg: 1.0
Pros
- After being frozen and discharged to zero, the battery is charged. It is true that the charger did not continue to charge the device when the charge was interrupted since there was insufficient time. The voltmeter read 12.4 volts, which is equivalent to 75%. I used a light bulb to bring the voltage down to 12.2 volts, at which point I had to discharge a couple of percent before the charger would go any farther. I'm just going to sit here and wait to see how long it will take and how much voltage will be required to get the desulfation back on the machine. There is a sporting interest in seeing how much strength Akum still possesses after having to deal with the scumbag.
Cons
- It would be more convenient if the wires were thicker and made of softer material rather than oak.
Pros
- Price, current regulator, 3 voltage modes.
Cons
- On the memory case, I could not locate a factory seal anywhere.
Pros
- The new 20-amp Vympels have adequate domestic charging wires of 1 sq. mm of honest copper, at 20 amperes they only heat up slightly. Those who scold these wires should remember that the current and cross section standards are given for two layers of insulation and laying in an enclosed space, and here there is one layer of insulation, and wires in the open air. Good ribbed power switch heatsinks, there is thermal paste. The ammeter is of sufficient accuracy for the purpose of charging the battery. Elegant, (in my opinion), and quite strong case. You don’t need to drop it, like any complex electronics, with the exception of a special protected one, and you don’t need to drop it either. The power board is a timeless classic, a TL494 two-stroke forward with a spray iron choke. High maintainability, only platforms and paths should be treated with care so as not to be torn off. Fully working, adequate device at an affordable price.
Cons
- Fan 40 mm, can be replaced by 60 mm 12V, but always with a current consumption of not more than 0.2A. The fan turn-on threshold can be reduced by soldering a resistor from 20 to 51 kOhm size 0805 over the one marked in the photo.
