CRISTEC CPS3 Features

Cristec CPS3 battery chargers have 3 independent outputs (except models > 80A) which can individually deliver nominal output current. One of these outputs is designed for matching specific engine battery requirements for marine application. The built-in battery isolator on each battery bank means the batteries stay permanently connected to the charger and there is no need to disconnect them during engine startup. The Cristec CPS3 battery chargers are the only battery chargers available on the market with an extra terminal to connect an additional external battery isolator for connecting up to 6 Independent battery banks (3 from the charger and 3 from the battery isolator). Cristec recommends using a voltage drop free isolator.

Safety and Freedom

On CPS3 chargers the BOOST phase is particularly safe as it is not only timed but also current controlled. In the event of a cut in the charger power-supply the charging cycle does not reset. The 3-step charge mode being faster (BOOST, ABSORPTION and FLOATING) it is particularly useful when you run out of time to charge the batteries (charger powered from a generator, short stay in the marina, etc.). It is possible to interrupt the Boost phase with an internal switch for specific applications where this function is not required: wintering, self-maintaining battery charge or when the charger is used as direct current regulated and filtered power supply.

Choose Your Battery Type

Made-to-measure battery charging - As your choice regarding battery technology is extensive, you have to make sure charging characteristics comply with your specific battery type. CPS3 battery chargers have internal selectors for setting the charge level in compliance with the battery technology and application: there are 11 settings such as Lead-sealed, Calcium-Lead, AGM, Gel, etc.

Special Coating for Peace of Mind

The charger electronic boards are coated with waterproof and tropicalised varnish. An anti-drip covering protects the charger from water ingress. The entire charger casing paint is specifically coated to prevent corrosion.

High Performance Management

The latest HF technology and COS PHI 1 regulation (integrated PFC – Power Factor Correction) ensure nominal charger operation in the event of wide input fluctuation. As AC charger input consumption is low you economize generator power.

Built In Protection

The CPS3 battery chargers have numerous in-built protection devices (polarity reversal, short-circuits through removable fuses, over-heating, etc.) ensuring a long charger life.

Parallel Mount for Flexibility

You can parallel mount our chargers thereby multiplying the output current (2 off 12V/60A chargers will deliver 12V/120A). Parallel-mount up to 6 chargers preferably the same size. The power-sharing function is active if only one single output is used per charger (on models 12V/80A, 12V/100A, 24V/60A, 24V/75A, 24V/120A, 48V/30A and 48V/60A).
