Battery Care the New Battery Charging Philosophy

HUEGLI
TECH
SWITZERLAND

The devices t perfectly into the HUEGLI TECH philosophy of providing

well-designed and well-made products at fair prices. HUEGLI TECHs
established network will make the multi-function devices for battery
charging and back-up power supply from our Italien business partner
available to more systems designers than was previously possible. Our
qualied supplier provide units that take charge of battery charging and
allow designers to safely concentrate on other more strategic issues of
their projects.
This is the background that has led to the development of the CB Series
smart battery chargers with output voltages of 12, 24 and 36 V. They are
extremely compact and cost-effective. Thanks to the CB units it will be
possible to stock a single multi-purpose product suited to input voltages
between 115 - 230 Vac, all battery types and able to match most current
and voltage output requirements.
Switching technology and the Battery Care concept, have long been
parts of the core know-how at HUEGLI TECHs designated external
designers. They have led to the development of a completely automatic,
sophisticated, multi-stage battery charging method, suited to meet the
most advanced requirements of battery manufacturers.
The Battery Care concept is based on algorithms that implement rapid
and automatic charging, battery charge optimization during time, at
battery recovery and real time diagnostic during installation and operation.
Battery faults such as battery sulfation, elements in short circuit and
accidental reverse polarity connection can easily be detected, identied
and removed.
Safety and long term reliability mean optimised charging and extended
battery life. Conditions causing irreversible damage are prevented by
continuously adapting charging parameters to the charge status of the
battery and ambient conditions.
The CB Series meet the highest standards of quality and insure high
reliability, with MTBF values up to 300.000 hours.

Recovery charging

One device for all

battery types

Multi-Stage charging Three charging modes

Completely automatic, the smart

battery chargers of the CB series are
microcontroller commanded devices
suited to charging most batteries
types, thank to factory pre-set and
selectable charging curves.
They can charge Open Lead Acid,
Sealed Lead Acid, Gel, Ni-Cd and
Ni-MH batteries. It is possible to
change or add other charging curves
connecting the device to a portable
PC.

Automatic multi-stage operation

and real time diagnostic allow fast
recharge and recovery of deep
discharged batteries, adding value
and reliability to the system hosting
the CB device. The type of charging
it is Voltages stabilized and current
stabilized IUoUo.
CB smart battery chargers feature
three charging modes, identied by a
ashing code on the Diagnosis LED.

Technology
The CB series is a new range of smart
battery chargers based on
two core know-how elements.
Switching technology
The HUEGLI TECH smart battery
chargers are the product of over
20 years of design experience with
stabilised switching technology.
A battery charger based on this
technology is much more efcient
and much smaller and lighter than
traditional linear technology battery
chargers.
Microcontroller and Battery Care
Unlike most other state-of-the-art
battery chargers, the CB series is
equipped with a microcontroller
which controls the charging process,
monitors and conditions various
types of batteries in order to maintain
optimum performance at all times.
The rmware utilises the extensive
Battery Care know-how, the result
of many years of experience in this
eld.

All protections have automatic reset.

No thermal fuse to be replaced.

Norms
The CE marked CB series of smart
battery chargers complies with the
most demanding current norms and
standards. See datasheets for more
details.

Robust
construction and
easy installation
All the units in CB range have
aluminium casings, a DIN rail
fastening clip, IP20 protection
degree and are extremely
lightweight and compact.

Innovation and Functionality

Distributors in:

HUEGLI TECH has added an innovative line of smart battery chargers to the broad portfolio
of ancillary products it has been selling for use with diesel and gas engines, for more
than 80 years. The CB Series of DIN mountable smart battery chargers are designed and
manufactured by our appointed external designers and represent a revolution in battery
charging technology. The CB Series employs the Battery Care concept; moving the
battery charger from a basic charging device to one capable of continually monitoring
and protecting the battery over its useful lifetime. It is a cost-effective tool to ensure that
systems designers can rely on their specied battery performance being available at all
times, whatever the application.
