HOW A BATTERY WORKS? A battery is a reservoir storing electrical energy in chemical form, which can be restored (in the form of direct current) immediately as required. The electrical energy therefore comes from a chemical reaction between the electrodes and the electrolyte (in liquid or gel form).

The 4 main types of batteries: Stationary batteries are designed to deliver a low current for a long period of time. e.g. :fire alarm, computer system. Traction batteries are designed to deliver high current over a long period of time. e.g. :Forklift truck Leisure batteries are designed for use in deep discharge and a high number of charge/discharge cycles. They are used in boats and camper vans to provide power for electrical equipment. e.g. :Fridge As their capacities are generally large, they can also be used to start an engine. Starter batteries are designed to deliver a high current for a short period of time to help start electrical or mechanical equipment. E.g.: vehicle, generator set.
General principle of battery operation
The different battery technologies: Open Batteries (FLA: Flooded Lead Acid): (liquid electrolyte) are lead batteries equipped with plugs allowing the addition of distilled water. They require regular maintenance (check the liquid level with an acid scale), and fear the cold (freezing of the electrolyte). They are nevertheless more economical. Sealed Batteries (VRLA: Valve Regulated Lead Acid): Totally sealed, they recombine the gas to prevent its evaporation. They require no maintenance and have a good resistance to cold. With this technology, we can find the following batteries: - GEL batteries (Electrolyte is frozen by silica gel): They are suitable for deep discharges and have a very good cycle life. On the other hand, they do not withstand high load/unload speeds. - AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) and SLA (Sealed Lead Acid) batteries are better able to deliver very high currents for short periods of time (starting) than GEL batteries. They are generally used for vehicles equipped with the START&STOP system. - EFB (Enhanced Flooded Battery) batteries are designed to meet the needs of light vehicles equipped with the START & STOP system. (Lesser version of the AGM. An AGM battery can replace an EFB, but not the other way around).

HOW A BATTERY WORKS? (continued)
Before taking care of your battery, you need to know its main characteristics. By examining your battery, you will find 4 main pieces of information. Voltage (V) The voltage represents the electrical potential between the 2 terminals, mostly equal to 6V or 12V. Your charger must be compatible with the voltage of the battery to be charged. A charged 12V battery must have a voltage higher than 12V (see table below).
Battery type The type of battery refers to the composition of the electrode (lead, calcium, antimony...) and the state of the electrolyte (gel or liquide). Not all chargers are capable of recharging all battery models.
Starting current (CCA) The starting current is expressed in Amperes (A). This current determines the starting current available at -18°C (ex: 430A). This current is subject to several standards (SAE, EN, IEC, DIN, JIS…) according to the country. (depending on the standard, the value of the starting current will be different).
Capacity (Ah - Amps/hour) It determines the energy reserve that can be delivered over a period of one hour. The charger used must be capable of charging this capacity. Generally, the value indicated corresponds to the energy delivered in 20 hours at 20°C.
Note: All these elements will vary according to temperature and time of use.

WHAT ARE MY BATTERY NEEDS? BSU & chargers
Charger? Starter? Booster? The first thing to do is to define your battery needs. To do this, read the use cases and examples in order to define the type of product you need.

HOW TO CHOSE YOUR STARTER AND BOOSTER?
Starting a vehicle requires a large amount of energy, usually from the vehicle’s battery. When the battery is too low, this energy supply can come from either: • •
From the STARTER CHARGER connected to the electrical grid (or a generator) for workshops/home From the BOOSTER internal battery, (also called «stand-alone starter») for on site troubleshooting for outdoor use
The key values of the startup The starter/booster charger must be able to supply power similar to the battery specification. • This value is expressed in Amperes (A) • Start (1V/C): Current that the starter charger (or booster) can deliver under 6V (for a 12V battery). • Cranking CC: Current obtained by short-circuiting the clamps. • Peak: Current that the battery can deliver when the 2 terminals are short-circuited.

Recharge your booster! 230V
Using a booster will partially discharge the built-in internal battery. This battery will be damaged if it is not quickly recharged. It is necessary to recharge the booster within a maximum of 24 hours after each use.

* A traditional charger requires a manual stop, it continues to deliver current from the battery even when it is charged which can damage it.
SOS Recovery for sulphated batteries Over time, a battery can become sulphated. This reduces its efficiency, its ability to load and start vehicles. The SOS Recovery function is a specific 24-hour regeneration cycle. It breaks the sulphate crystals so that the battery resumes charging and returns to its original performance level.
IP Protection - IP 65 The IP protection class indicates the ability of your device to withstand external aggressions (solids and liquids). IP 65: splash water protection
Microprocessor control A microprocessor-controlled charger provides a much more MICROPROCESSOR accurate charging curve and offers CONTROL many advanced features.
