Engine Battery Chargers

Computronic Controls are world leaders in the design of battery chargers for standby engine and industrial DC power applications:

• gensets
• industrial pumps
• firepumps
• electric vehicles
• emergency lighting
• UPS systems
• DC motor systems
• desktop chargers
• DC control and monitoring

Computronic chargers include advanced features that optimise the performance, reliability and lifetime of your batteries:

• multi-stage charge regimes: rapid charge recovery, followed by constant voltage float charging
• output calibration optimised for application and battery type: vented lead-acid, sealed VRLA AGM or Gel, Calcium-Calcium, NiCd
• switch-mode power supply, hi-impedance transformer or thyristor-based designs
• low ripple (<1%), necessary for charging sealed/recombination cells
• alarm outputs, for remote signalling of fault conditions
• temperature compensation of output float voltage
• 12V or 24V nominal output voltages
• 3 to 30+ Amp output ratings
• AutoBoost feature, for charge equalisation and performance, without overcharging
• open-frame, protective cover and stainless steel, wall-mounted enclosure variants
• CE, UL, CSA, FM and NFPA standards compliance

Standard chargers for standby engine applications include:

	NEW! Sentinel (UL)150 Switch mode chargers with low ripple, AutoBoost and temperature compensation. 12/24V, 5 and 10A ratings. UL-approved/NFPA model options. More info >
	Guardian Heavy-duty charging combined with low output ripple, suitable for use with vented or sealed cells. AutoBoost, 3 alarm outputs and temperature compensation features, plus UL1236 approval. 12 or 24V, 10 or 20A ratings. More info >
	Sentry Entry level, thyristor based charge control for vented batteries, 12/24V 3, 5 and 10A ratings. More info >

Computronic battery chargers were included over many years in Murphy engine control panels and systems. Computronic Controls Ltd. (CCL) formed a joint venture with Murphy in 2003, and became a wholly-owned division of F W Murphy in 2007.
