Laser Tools showcases smart battery charger

Laser Tools’ new mains-powered 4A intelligent battery charger (part number 8699) is designed to simplify and ensure batteries are always in peak condition.

This battery charger works with both 6V and 12V automotive batteries, including lead-acid, LiFePO4 (Lithium Iron Phosphate), AGM, and GEL batteries. This charger employs a 10-stage charging cycle with microprocessor control that monitors a battery’s state and adjusts the charging output accordingly.

Trickle charge mode: Once a battery reaches its full charge, the charger automatically drops to a trickle charge of less than 1A, preventing overcharging and extending a battery’s life. There is also a separate maintenance mode for added peace of mind.

Winter mode: Cold weather can be tough on batteries. That’s why a specialised winter mode, to ensure a battery gets the care it needs, even in freezing conditions, is included.

The charger also features multiple protection mechanisms, including safeguards against overcharging, overheating, short circuits, reverse polarity, and low voltage. The built-in LCD screen makes it easy to keep tabs on a battery’s charge level and overall status. Supplied with both crocodile clips and ring terminals, it meets international standards, including CE, GS, and RoHS compliance.
