CONVERSION Batteries are the heart of the electrical system and are often the single largest electrical expense. Batteries are sensitive to failure and a shortened life if not charged properly. Modern battery chemistries – Gel, AGM, TPPL, Lithium Ion, and Flooded Lead Acid (FLA) – require adherence to manufacturers’ charging recommendations. Following these recommendations requires a battery charger which is both rugged and sophisticated. Battery manufacturers agree precise control of voltage, time, and temperature is critical. Batteries may perform poorly and fail prematurely due to a charger's...
