1) Standard setting. Optimum charge/float voltages for Flooded Lead-acid, Gel-Cell or AGM batteries selectable by DIP switch.
2) Up to 40°C (100°F) ambient. Output will reduce to approximately 80% of nominal at 50°C (120°F) and 60% of nominal at 60°C (140°F).
BMV-700 Battery Monitor
The BMV-700 Battery Monitor features an
advanced microprocessor control system
combined with high resolution measuring
systems for battery voltage and
charge/discharge current. Besides this, the
software includes complex calculation
algorithms, like Peukert’s formula, to exactly
determine the state of charge of the battery.
The BMV-700 selectively displays battery
voltage, current, consumed Ah or time to go.
Battery Alarm
An excessively high or low
battery voltage is indicated by
an audible and visual alarm.
Installation made easy
1. Fasten the separate mounting
plate (A) to the wall where you
want to place the battery charger,
and simply hook up the Centaur.
2. Secure the bottom of the backside
(B) to the wall.
