Why You Need a Fully Sealed Onboard Charger
A fully sealed onboard charger is a smart device that keeps your battery in good shape even after a long day on the water. It's important to have one if you rely on your battery power for everything from your boat motor to your electronics.
Chargers for sealed lead acid batteries are specially designed to handle the unique needs of this type of battery and come with features that improve your battery's performance and reliability in the long term.
Designed for Water
The fully sealed onboard charger is the perfect combination of high tech and rugged construction. It is rated to handle the most power hungry of batteries including large VRLA and flooded lead acid ones. Using passive cooling and four aluminum fins the XPS Charger can keep up with the best of them when it comes to dissipating heat while delivering superior shock proof durability.
The most impressive feature is the ability to monitor your battery and its health in real time to make sure that all your power is being used efficiently. The intelligent VosFX processor tracks the power input, attached battery, and your charger itself to deliver the most accurate charging and maintenance possible, all while reducing power consumption to keep your battery healthy for longer.
The fully sealed onboard charger has some of the smartest battery charging and management features to enhance your experience when out on the water and get you back to doing what you love. The XPS charger is easy to install, provides more battery life, and will help you have more fun trolling the waters of North Dakota and beyond. It's the best investment you will ever make for your watercraft. So give it a go and see what a difference it makes for you!
Restore Your Battery
Fully sealed onboard chargers are designed to restore your battery, restoring lost performance for stronger engine starts and extended battery life. They automatically detect sulfation and acid stratification to prevent deterioration and recharge your battery for maximum performance. They also offer smart charging, tracking your battery discharge rate and applying a maintenance charge only when it’s needed to protect internal parts from overcharge, prolong battery service and enhance performance.
Sealed lead acid batteries are built to vent gasses during charging and usage, reducing the risk of damage from overcharge. However, overcharge does have a negative effect on your battery’s service life and capacity. To minimize this, it’s best to charge your VRLA battery using a charger that is specifically designed for these types of batteries.
The right type of sealed lead acid battery charger will be able to select the optimal charging method for your battery depending on your intended use, recharge time, economic considerations, expected frequency and depth of discharge (DoD), and the service life of the battery. Constant voltage-current limited charging is generally preferred for this application, because it limits the charging current to a level that won’t harm the cell and prolong battery service.
Another way to extend the life of your battery is by lowering its temperature. This can be done by placing your laptop in a cooler, which will reduce the internal temperature of the device and the battery. It’s important to note, though, that this solution may not be successful for all types of batteries and it will only be effective for those that have a removable battery.
Worry Free Charging
Unlike trickle chargers, fully sealed onboard battery chargers are an advanced battery maintainer that automatically detects and restores battery sulfation to ensure strong engine starts. They can also protect your VRLA batteries by tracking their discharge rate, applying maintenance charges only when necessary, and adjusting voltage to control the charge current. These features are essential to the long-term performance and reliability of your VRLA batteries. They can also help ensure that your batteries are not overcharged or undercharged in hot or cold climates by detecting the surrounding temperature and automatically adjusting the charge. This ensures that you never have to worry about your batteries going dead during use! This charger has a simplified mounting system that allows for quick and easy installation in any direction – even up-side-down – with an anti-vibration backing to isolate shock, vibration, and noise.
