Description
The Schauer JAC2024H is built around a simple idea: connect it, and it works through the charge on its own. It runs a fully automatic three-stage cycle, holding constant current until the pack reaches its set voltage, holding that voltage, then dropping to a float standby so the batteries can stay connected between shifts without being overcharged.
Where it differs from a basic charger is in how it handles abuse. It can begin charging a battery that has been drawn down below 4 volts at the terminals, which is the situation that stops many chargers cold. Its cyclic voltage is set per chemistry (2.5 V per cell for flooded, 2.4 V per cell for gel and AGM), and Schauer notes it can be preset to a customer's specification. It is also protected against reverse polarity and short circuits.
This listing is the 24 volt, 20 amp version, with a 115/230 volt auto-sensing AC input, so it can be plugged in on either supply. It is rated for continuous duty, but it is a charger, not a DC power supply. Confirm your battery voltage and chemistry before ordering, and contact us if you are unsure about your machine.
