Votronic 60A-12V Battery Charger Pb 1260 SMT 3B - 3126

Votronic 60A-12V Battery Charger PB1260 SMT2B for Charging Lead-Acid and Lithium Batteries

Designed for high-quality RVs, marine applications, special vehicles, and off-grid uses.

Votronic chargers are characterized by high operational reliability and readiness for use, representing the latest state of the art. Their high-quality charging technology, robust power electronics in conjunction with intelligent microprocessor control, ensure precise adherence to charging voltages, currents, and times, thus extending battery life. A wide variety of versions of these devices are available, making it possible to find the right charger for your application.

Votronic charging technology has been used for years in professional emergency vehicles such as fire trucks, ambulances, and coast guard vessels! Quality Made in Germany!

All charging programs are applied by the charger for gentle full charging and subsequent charge retention of the battery, with temperature compensation adjusted to the battery type when a temperature sensor is used. The supply to connected consumers is also handled during charging, dimensioned such that no more than 50% flows to consumers during the I-phase (initial charging).

When batteries are full, almost the entire possible device charging current is available for consumers, without discharging the batteries.

Further features at a glance:

• 60 A main charge / 4 A secondary charge
• Charging programs for Gel, AGM, Acid, LiFePO4 (No. 1, 2, 4 and Li) adjustable to battery type
• two charging current outputs and one secondary charging output
• second main charging output can also be used for quick charging of the starter battery
• Silent-Run function adjustable (night reduction)
• Battery disconnection in case of power failure, overheating, malfunction
• Charging voltages free of peaks, thus overcharging is excluded
• Fully automatic continuous operation for constant readiness of the batteries
• Separate secondary charging output "S" for support and maintenance charging of the vehicle starter battery, max. 2A
• Automatic battery regeneration during long periods of inactivity (2x a week)
• Compensation of voltage losses on the charging cables for precise adherence to charging voltages
• Built-in on-board network filter: Problem-free parallel operation with solar systems, generators, alternators, etc. on one battery.
• Intelligent microprocessor control considers the simultaneous supply of consumers on the battery
• Precise battery temperature compensation (temperature sensor required)
• Power supply function: Enables the supply of consumers without a battery (e.g., battery replacement)

Selectable charging programs / charging curves:

"LiFePO4": Charging program specifically for lithium batteries

Charging program adapted for Lithium-LiFePo4 batteries with their own BMS and prescribed or built-in protective circuitry. A special quiescent charge maintains the LiFePO4 battery at a charge level of 50-80%, which is beneficial for its lifespan, when the vehicle is parked (seasonal operation), and also buffers 12V consumers and the vehicle starter battery. In addition, a regular Auto Wake Up function activates battery cell balancing.

1. "Gel": Charging program for gel batteries, characteristic curve IU1oU2oU3

Adapted for sealed, gas-tight gel/dryfit batteries with fixed electrolyte, which generally require a higher charging voltage level and longer U1 holding times to achieve short charging times with particularly high capacity storage and to avoid long-term battery "starvation". Perfectly suited for our WATTSTUNDE gel batteries, among others.

2. "AGM": Charging program for AGM / fleece batteries, characteristic curve IU1oU2oU3

Intended for charging sealed, gas-tight AGM (Absorbent-Glass-Mat) batteries and those with lead-fleece technology, which require a particularly high U1 level with adjusted holding times for full charging and then a moderate U2 level for charge retention (round cell and plate technology).

4. "UNIVERSAL": Charging program for lead-acid / wet batteries, characteristic curve IU1oU2oU3

Universal program for charging and maintaining acid batteries in vehicles (mixed mobile/stationary). Offers short charging times, a good charge factor, and good acid mixing with a medium U1 level for open and closed, low-maintenance, maintenance-free standard, traction, lighting, solar, and heavy-duty batteries, as well as AGM batteries with normal U1 levels.
