CTEK Multi XS 3600 Battery Charger

The CTEK 3600 battery charger is ideal for use in cars, caravans, motorhomes, boats and, in fact, just about any vehicle or craft with a battery of up to 125Ah.

Like all models in the CTEK range, it can be safely left connected indefinitely to ensure that a battery is in peak condition when it’s needed. It is completely safe and can even be left out in the rain.

This model Ctek Battery Charger will charge batteries at a constant rate of 3.6 Amps per hour unlike conventional linear chargers which may be rated at 10 Amps or more but which can rapidly drop down to as little as 1 Amp.

The Ctek XS 3600 battery charger can be set very easily to charge Wet, MF, GEL and AGM lead-acid batteries

CHARGING CHARACTERISTICS

The MULTI XS 3600 has a fully automatic, four step charge:

The fully automatic four steps of the MULTI XS 3600 charger.

1. Desulphation
Runs a complete charge cycle within a fraction of a second. The cycle repeats during the whole desulphation phase. Every cycle recovers some lead sulphate into useful material.

2. Bulk
Charging where 80% of the energy is returned. The charger delivers a constant current until the battery voltage has reached the set level.

3. Absorption
Final part of the charge up to 100%. The battery voltage is kept constant at the set level, during which time the current drops gradually.

4. Pulse
Maintenance charging. The state of charge varies between 95% and 100%. A pulse is sent out to the battery if the voltage drops. This keeps the battery in trim when not in use. The charger can be connected for months at a time.

Using the MULTI XS 3600 gives your battery an optimum service life and operational reliability.
