130 SolarPulse ™ 12-Volt Solar Battery Charger Maintainers All of PulseTech Products' solar products use the power of the sun combined with patented optimized high frequency pulsing circuity to charge and maintain batteries so they can accept, store and release maximum power when needed. Pulse Technology keeps battery plates clean of damaging sulfation deposits by dramatically reducing the size of performance-robbing lead-sulfate crystals that form on all battery plates. This results in conditioned batteries that work at maxi- mum capacity for up to five times longer, even when sitting in an unused vehicle. With the SolarPulse family of products the needed power is supplied in a stur- dier, smaller sized panel allowing for most installation options. SolarPulse's higher efficiency, higher quality crystalline silicon cells pack more power per square inch than standard amorphous "thin film" solar cells, and they have a longer life. Instead of a breakable glass coating, SolarPulse solar panels are protected with a clear, polyurethane plastic coating mounted on a laminated aluminum substrate. This makes them virtually indestructible and impervious to weather, aging and damage from harsh environments. It also results in a panel that is 50% smaller with a low mounting profile. Use them on all 12-volt lead-acid batteries including VRLA, AGM, gel and flooded cell. SolarPulse solar charging systems are available in three sizes, to meet any ap- plication for charging, desulfating and maintaining 12-volt lead-acid batteries kept outdoors in vehicles and equipment. Choose from a 2-watt, 5-watt or 10-watt panel. Solar panels feature a bright LED that indicates charge, heavy duty quick- disconnect terminals, four corner mounting grommets, weatherproof connectors and a 17' flexible power cable. 906X555 SP-2, 2-Watt Panel 1-9, $89.95 ea.; 10-up, $81.00 ea. 906X570 SP-5, 5-Watt Panel 1-9, $159.95 ea.; 10-up, $144.00 ea. 906X580 SP-10, 10-Watt Panel 1-9, $249.95 ea.; 10-up, $225.00 ea. www.specialized.net 800-866-5353 Battery Management 130 TOOLS MAINTAIN SolarPulse Specifications SP-2 SP-5 SP-10 Output Current 250 mA 350 mA 600 mA Input Current Solar Powered Solar Powered Solar Powered Solar Panel Dimensions 4.75" x 8.56" x 0.125" 8.75" x 8.75" x 0.125" 9.2" x 13.7" x 0.25" Circuit Box Dimensions 3.25" x 2.25" x 1.5" 3.25" x 2.25" x 1.5" 3.25" x 2.25" x 1.5" Box-to-Lug Wire Length 3' 3' 3' Box-to-Panel Wire Length 17' 17' 17' 24VPSC 24-Volt Solar Charger The 6.3-watt solar charger charges and desulfates 24-volt lead-acid battery systems in series parallel on vehicles used regularly or equipment stored outside for extended periods. AC power isn't needed when the sun's energy is harnessed to prevent the normal loss of battery power on stored vehicles no matter how long they sit unused. The 24VPSC utilizes Pulse Technology to clean battery plates of sulfation build up, restore them to normal operation and extend their life up to five times. Safe, reliable and weatherproof, this versatile solar charger is designed to be mounted permanently. LED indicates an energized circuit. The 9" x 11" x 0.125" panel has a 30-volt dc max charging voltage and comes with a 25' panel to box cable for multiple installation options and a 4' lug cable. 906X155 24VPSC Permanent Mount $337.00 ea. SP-24-6 Solar Charger SP-24-6 charges, maintains and desulfates 24-volt lead-acid batteries (flooded, AGM and gel cell) or 24-volt bat- tery systems used daily or left in long-term outdoor storage allowing them to start when needed. The sturdy 6.3-watt solar panel provides power to charge the battery system and supplies energy to the optimized Pulse Technology circuit to reverse the buildup of lead sulfate crystals on the battery plates. It features high quality crystalline silicone cells for power and a clear polyurethane plastic coating with anodized aluminum backing that makes it virtually indestructible. SP-24-6 solar panel is designed for temporary mounting. Three LEDs under the panel display battery readiness as being charged, fully charged or being pulsed. The 11" x 9" x 0.125" solar panel has a 30-volt dc max charging voltage and comes with a 1' panel to connector cable, 2' lug cable and 2' clamp cable. 906X560 SP-24-6 Temporary Mount 1-9, $325.00 ea.; 10-up, $293.00 ea.
