Rapid Charge Technology for Faster Charging

The Duracell line of battery chargers feature rapid charge technology for faster, more accurate charging and do not require installation or set up. This simple plug-and-charge solution makes these chargers ideal for extending and recharging all types of 12-volt lead acid batteries, while the three stage charging process ensures the battery is always fully charged, but never overcharged.

Duracell battery chargers utilize a microprocessor controlled three-stage charging method, which significantly extends the battery life. Multistage charging ensures the batteries to receive optimum charging, but with minimal wear and tear, regulating the voltage and current delivered to the batteries in three automatic stages: Bulk, Absorption and Float. The bulk charging stage replaces 70-80% of the battery's state of charge at the fastest possible rate. After that the absorption charging stage replenishes the remaining 20-30% of charge, bringing the battery to a full charge at a slow, safe rate. Finally, at the float charging stage, the voltage is reduced and held constant in order to prevent damage and keep batteries at full charge.

* Three-stage charging
Multistage charging ensures that batteries receive optimum charging, but with minimal wear and tear regulating the voltage and current delivered to the batteries in three automatic stages:

• Bulk - Replaces 70-80% of the battery's state of charge at the fastest possible rate.
• Absorption - Replenishes the remaining 20-30% of charge, bringing the battery to a full charge at a slow, safe rate.
• Float - Voltage is reduced and held constant in order to prevent damage and to keep batteries at a full charge.

** Reconditioning
Battery reconditioning is a deliberate overcharge designed to return all cell to optimum condition condition by reducing sulphation and stratification in the battery. The overcharge helps the battery to reach and maintain peak capacity by equalizing the chemistry in the individual battery cells.
