Kavan C14+ 80W charger

Product detailed description

The KAVAN C14+ 80W charger was designed to provide everything you need for charging "under one roof", including a power supply and easy operation. KAVAN C14+ allows you to charge and discharge common cell types (NiCd, NiMH, LiPo, LiHV, Li-ion, LiFe, Pb), and is also equipped with a built-in six-channel balancer, which ensures very safe and comfortable charging of lithium batteries.

In addition to its higher power, it differs from conventional 50W chargers with its truly intelligent software, which enables functions previously common in "machines" of much higher price categories:

• Setting the final voltage for charging and discharging for lithium (allows for gentler charging, which pilots like, or, conversely, brutal overcharging, which "car enthusiasts" adore) and lead-acid batteries
• Measuring the total voltage and voltage of individual cells (for lithium batteries) even outside of charging/discharging
• Measuring the internal resistance of individual cells (for lithium batteries)
• Current source mode with adjustable voltage limitation (max. 6 A/80 W)
• Smart battery charging mode (lithium batteries with built-in protection electronics

Overview of basic functions and parameters

• Input voltage 11 - 18 V DC
• Mains power supply 100-240 V/50-60 Hz
• For charging and discharging 1 - 15 NiCd/NiMH cells, 1 - 6 Li-ion/LiPo/LiFe cells or 2 - 20 V lead-acid batteries
• Adjustable charging current (0.1 A - 6.0 A)
• Adjustable discharging current (0.1 A - 2.0 A)
• Max. 80 W charging power, 10 W discharging power
• Termination of charging using delta-peak automatic for NiCd and NiMH batteries
• Lithium and Pb batteries are charged using the "constant current/constant voltage" method
• Adjustable delta-peak detection sensitivity for NiCd and NiMH batteries
• Adjustable end voltage for charging and discharging for lithium and lead batteries
• Repeated cyclic operation of charging/discharging or discharging/charging for NiCd and NiMH batteries, up to 5 cycles
• Four charging modes for lithium batteries - normal charging, fast charging, charging with balancer and storage charging/discharging
• Termination of charging when the set time, delivered charge or temperature limit is exceeded.
• Memory for 20 charging/discharging programs.
• Measurement of the total voltage of the set and individual cells (for lithium batteries)
• Measurement of the total internal resistance of individual cells (for lithium batteries)
• Socket for temperature sensor
• Autonomous balancer mode for lithium batteries
• Current source mode with adjustable voltage limitation for powering other devices - max. 6 A/80 W, voltage max. 27 V
• Charging mode for Smart batteries (lithium batteries with built-in protection electronics) with adjustable charging time, charging current and max. battery voltage
• Two-line backlit LCD display with simple and clear menu and display of parameters during charging/discharging
• A number of warning text messages contribute to safe operation - incorrect input voltage, poor connection, unsuitable battery or its condition, incorrect polarity at the output
• Protection against reverse polarity and short circuit at the output.
• Compact aluminum case, small dimensions
• Built-in power supply.

If you connect the charged lithium set via the service connector, you can monitor the voltage on the individual cells during the entire charging or discharging process, and the built-in balancer balances the voltage on the individual cells. The charger is equipped with sockets for JST-XH service connectors, you can connect sets of other systems using adapters that are sold separately. You can purchase a temperature sensor to measure the temperature of the charged/discharged batteries.

Note: The charger for charging lead-acid batteries allows you to set the final voltage of 1.50-2.50 V/cell - for this reason, it is suitable (with the correct settings!) for charging gas-tight gel batteries, which must not be charged to more than 2.30 V/cell, as well as classic reversible valve batteries.

Package includes: KAVAN C14+ charger, power cord, 12V power cord with alligator clips, T-DEAN charging cable with adapters with JST-BEC, JR/Futaba connectors, with alligator clips and for compact glow plugs, instructions.
