BC Battery Controller offers a range of latest generation battery chargers/maintainers, the only one 100% Made in Italy, among the safest and most advanced on the market. It executes in a fully automatic way 8 charging cycles and it can be used for the maintenance and charging of batteries used in automotive, motorcycle, scooter, camping, powersport and gardening applications as well as for "deep-cycle" batteries. In this range we can find BC SMART 5000+, a battery charger and maintainer with 4 selectable programs (CAR, BIKE, START&STOP and POWER SUPPLY to safeguard the memories of on board devices during battery replacement), with a maximum charging current of 5 Amp (Car and Start/Stop Modes) and 1 Amp (Bike Mode for motorcycles), which is designed for a complete maintenance of all kinds of 12V traditional batteries, from lead-acid to AGM, from 1.2 Ah up to 160 Ah. It charges much faster than normal battery chargers, the battery with BC Battery Controller products can last up to 8/10 years, it can repair sulfated batteries and recover batteries from 1.25V (the lowest level on the market) and it is designed for use with vehicles provided with "micro-hybrid" start/stop systems. Driven by a state-of-the-art microcomputer, BC SMART 5000+ not only monitors the safety and the effective charging of the battery, but it also automatically reduces energy consumption to a minimum and it guarantees a high level of protection thanks to its spark-proof system and to its protections against overcharge, polarity inversion and short circuit. Fully automatic, it can stay always connected to the battery 24 hours a day / 7 days a week, for whole months, even for years in a totally safe way. Moreover, thanks to its carbon-look livery, to the simple design and to its compactness and easy handling, this product is super light and really suitable for everyone. Despite its compactness, it is provided with a very sturdy shell that prevents it from slipping and makes it resistant to scratches, falls, accidental crushing, UV rays and water (IP44). The product is delivered with comfortable clamps and practical mounting eyelets to leave installed on the vehicle. Thanks to the intuitive LED bar, that guarantees also a perfect night vision, BC SMART 5000+ gives us real-time information about the battery state of charge (50%, 65%, 80%, 100%) and the cycle in progress as well as on the selected program (CAR, BIKE, START&STOP and POWER SUPPLY). The product is covered by a 5-year warranty and a premium post-sales service directly from the factory, given the very few cases managed. CHARGING ALGORITHM - CHARGING PROGRAM The battery charger is internally controlled by a microprocessor which monitors the battery condition in real time and executes automatically 8 charging cycles. - Step 1 - Initialization: it verifies if one or more cells are shorted, to check whether the battery is in a proper condition to be recovered/recharged. - Step 2 - Recovery: if the battery is extremely discharged (starting from 1.25V), the device tries to recover it, taking it back to a higher voltage compatible with the following step. - Step 3 - Soft Charge: if the battery is in significantly discharged, the device provides a light pulsing current to the battery, to overcome the critical phase. - Step 4 - Bulk Charge: during this phase, the device provides full current to the battery, recovering about 85-90% of the battery capacity. - Step 5 - Desulfation / Absorption: during this phase the device provides a "controlled overcharge" to recover the remaining 10-15% of the battery capacity, through the desulfation/recovery of the lead-acid cells (for low or medium sulfation). - Step 6 - Battery Analysis: the device stops providing current for a few tens of minutes and verifies if the battery is able to retain the charge received during the previous charging cycles. The test is periodically repeated at regular intervals. - Step 7 - Maintenance: thanks to a specially designed electronic circ
