Evaluation and Test
Our unique TEST feature evaluates the battery thoroughly during the initial connection to determine the appropriate charge rate based on its size and condition. We then test the battery continually for as long as it is connected to the charger to maintain the optimal bulk or float charge rate. This TEST feature also incorporates a Bad Battery indication if it determines that the battery is faulty and cannot be re-charged.
Maintenance and Bulk Charge
The XC100 is designed to be a MAINTENANCE charger for any type of 12-V lead-acid battery. By imposing only the appropriate amount charge rate, the battery is maintained safely at its proper operating voltage indefinitely. Conversely, if the charger is connected to a discharged battery, its BULK charge capability (2.5 A actual/5 A effective) will re-charge the battery rapidly and safely so it can be put back into service quickly.
Proprietary Charge Algorithms
We utilize a proprietary computer-integrated technology that measures both voltage and current to determine the appropriate amount of charge the battery is able to accept at any given time. As the pulse and saturation charges improve the battery’s condition, the charge rate may be increased safely to an optimal level. This proprietary algorithm protects the battery from the risk of damage due to overcharging.
Variable Float Charge
Our intelligent circuitry imposes the correct amount of charge rate as determined by the continual evaluation of the battery’s condition. The charge rate may be as minimal as 0.2 A during typical float up to the full 2.5 A for more deeply discharged batteries. This variable float charge ensures optimal charge rate is applied to the battery.
Patented PULSE Technology
PulseTech’s unique and patented PULSE technology increases the duty and life cycle of any size or type of 12 V lead-acid battery by minimizing the size of the lead sulfate crystals. This allows a battery to accept as much charge as possible. Our patented PULSE technology helps ensure that your new batteries will stay in like-new condition while older batteries often improve dramatically. Duty cycles are typically extended from three to five times for all types of lead-acid batteries!
This charger works with all types and sizes of 12-V lead-acid batteries including flooded, fill and charge, gel, AGM and maintenance-free (from less than 10 Ah to over 150 Ah).
Safety
Xtreme Charge™ is fuse-protected, spark-proof and UL Certified for indoor and outdoor use.
Xtreme Charge™ is ideally suited for AGM and Maintenance-Free Batteries! The combination of our patented pulse technology and proprietary charging algorithm typically allows it to charge these high-performance batteries more fully while maintaining a safe charge profile for traditional batteries.
*Note: the XC100 is rated at 2.5 amps, but the utilization of our patented pulse technology (US Patent #RE35643) combined with the unique, micro-processor controlled charge control enable it to significantly (and safely) out-perform other chargers — even those with much higher charge ratings.
