CHARGE CONTROLLER

 

padMorningstar SS-20-L
PWM Charge Controller
20 Amp, 12 Volt, With LVD

Morningstar’s superior series switching provides many advantages compared to shunt controllers. Series regulation reduces FET heating and lowers voltage stress on the power FET’s. A series configuration also improves protection against lightning surges and reduces switching noise. The series design improves charging accuracy. In PWM, series switching becomes self-correcting for temperature and system voltage drops.

AUTOSTART

 

The Battery Charge Manager is an environmentally sealed microprocessor driven solution to your battery management problems. Be assured our BCM will have the smarts to keep your battery in operational condition all the time. Constantly monitoring battery voltage, the BCM will activate the Autostart engine controller or the charging system to ensure full battery bank recharging, not just a partial "surface charge" or boiling the battery dry.


ES52 AutoStart Engine ControllerThe Reliable solution

Never worry when your battery bank is called upon to meet your needs. The Battery Charge Manager will ensure you a fully charged battery, ready for your prime power or emergency needs. The Battery Charge Manager has many features not found in other products which perform this task.

Delay On Timer

Prevents unnecessary starting of the system when a large instant load or draw is placed upon the battery.

Run Timer

Depending on the charging rate of your alternator and the amp-hour capacity of your battery bank, running for a fixed time ensures that you can get a full recharge with out overcharging!

Adjustability

The high and low set points to begin and end the charging cycle are adjustable within a range of values. We can pre-set the BCM in our factory to your needs or you can set it up in the field. This provides the OEM a plug and run solution or gives the generator re-furbisher the ability to tailor the BCM for a specific job. These extra features make the BATTERY CHARGE MANAGER the premier product in it's class, combined with our industry leading 3 year warranty makes the BATTERY CHARGE MANAGER the obvious choice
