FERRORESONANT BATTERY CHARGERS
C-CHARGER
®
AE SERIES
MANUAL FLOAT/EQUALIZE BATTERY CHARGERS
Safe to say, there’s no other float
charger built like a C-Charger from
Charles Industries. Rugged #304
grade stainless steel forms the
sturdy housing that withstands
virtually all environmental
challenges; including heat,
humidity, vibration, and other
stress factors. The steel cover is
hinged to ease installation
Electrically, the C-Charger is
a paragon of efficiency and
simplicity. It uses a ferroresonant
transformer with integral self-
regulation. It has been intelligently
designed to be completely devoid
of any complicated switching
circuits that could possibly burn
out. There are no tubes nor
delicate electronics to fail or to
cause radio frequency interference
(RFI). By simplifying our design,
Charles has increased reliability
without sacrificing
performance or usability.
Voltage output to the
batteries remains at a
safe and constant DC
level from full load to no
load, even if AC power
runs as high as 132 VAC
or as low as 108 VAC.
This automatic voltage
regulation relieves strain
on internal electrical
components and
lengthens the lifespan of
the unit. All components
are designed to operate
safely and continuously in
an ambient temperature
as high as 122º F.
AE Series Battery Chargers are
available in 12, 24 and 32 Volt
models and may be used with
both lead acid and nickel cadmium
battery banks.
