Votronic Automatic Charger VAC 1224 -16 Station with Coiled Cable 5m - 0524

Votronic VAC 1224-16 Battery Charger 12V/24V 16A – Precision Charging Technology for Emergency Vehicles

The Votronic VAC 1224-16 (MPN 0524) is a fully automatic battery charger from the VAC-Station series, developed for fire and emergency vehicles in accordance with DIN 14679. It ensures reliable and gentle charging of 12V and 24V batteries and automatically compensates for voltage losses in the vehicle wiring, charging plug, and coiled charging cable. This guarantees precise adherence to the optimal charging voltage – regardless of cable lengths or mains fluctuations.

Included in the delivery is a 5 m oil- and acid-resistant coiled charging cable, enabling flexible use in vehicle halls or at stationary charging points.

Intelligent Charging Technology & Maximum Safety

The charger operates with a microprocessor-controlled IU1oU2oU3 charging curve, which ensures fast, gentle full charging and subsequent charge maintenance. Six individually selectable charging programs allow adaptation to various battery types – whether acid, gel, or AGM batteries.

• Reverse polarity protection
• Short-circuit protection
• Overload & overvoltage protection
• Discharge protection
• Safety protection in case of power failure

Automatic Regeneration & Continuous Operation

The VAC 1224-16 is designed for continuous operation and can remain permanently connected to the battery. It regulates the voltage without peaks, thus preventing overcharging. Automatic battery regeneration is triggered twice a week to prevent acid stratification during prolonged idle periods.

A built-in onboard power filter ensures seamless parallel operation with alternators, generators, or power supplies.
