INTRODUCTION
On the last pages you will find the technical specifications of the LBC 500XTR
series.
The LBC 500XTR is a fully automatic battery charger and float charger in one
and can be left connected to the mains power supply permanently. The micro
processor supervises the battery and the charge process continuously so that a
very safe and accurate process can be guaranteed. The internal electronics
comes from the latest developments, which resulted in a exceptionally intelligent
battery charger. The closed housing is IP 66 classified. The charger is therefore
protected against dust, dirt, vibrations and in a large degree also against
moisture.
The LBC 500XTR can be used for a large diversity of battery types, such as
Starting, semi-traction, traction, GEL, AGM, Calcium, Spiral and LifoPo4. The
charger is suitable for many battery types because the charge voltages can be
set. See chapter ‘SETTING THE CHARGER’, section ‘charge voltages’.
During the charge process, and also when the charger is in its float stage,
potential users may be turned on. The charger will indirectly supply the present
consumers and the battery is spared. Keep in mind that when charging a
(partially) empty battery, the current draw of the present consumers comes at
the expense of the charge current for the battery. If you only want to use the
charger as a power supply, then put the charger in its power supply mode, see
chapter ‘SETTING THE CHARGER’ section ‘charger as power supply’.
You can use multiple power sources, like solar panels or a dynamo, together with
the LBC 500XTR battery charger.
