XCR-20 Xtreme 16A 12V Battery Recovery Charger & Desulfator The Xtreme Recovery Charger is a 16-Amp shop charger built to recover any type of 12- Volt lead-acid battery (VRLA, AGM, and flood- ed cell) anywhere in the world. It is also ideal for larger 12-Volt batteries including those in groups 31, 4-D and 8-D. The XCR-20 is housed in a self-enclosed, convenient, water-resistant heavy-duty case for easy storage and portability allowing you to charge batteries both in and out of the vehicle or piece of equipment. If you service vehicles or equipment with 12-Volt batteries this state-of-the- art Xtreme Recovery Charger allows you to recover heavily discharged and sulfated batteries you previously thought were dead or useless. With its high- er output capacity the XCR-20 is used extensively in businesses using larger batteries that need to be recovered and quickly put back into service. Its unique design allows the XCR-20 to be operated both in the shop on batter- ies that have been removed from equipment and on batteries still installed in equipment, reducing man hours required to pull and then reinstall batteries. The Xtreme Recovery Charger uses our patented Pulse Technology and emits a series of high frequency DC current pulses to reduce sulfation buildup which occurs as lead sulfates form on the battery plates during normal charge/dis- charge cycles. These deposits can reduce the battery's ability to accept and keep a charge. Our Pulse Technology breaks down the deposits, to improve battery performance and extend battery life. Prior to charging, the red TEST LED will be lit while the charger tests the bat- tery and separate red LEDs will indicate whether the battery is bad and not recoverable. During the bulk and saturation charging process, the microprocessor con- trolled circuitry will provide all the charge the battery will accept regard- less of the Amp-hour capacity or rated cold cranking Amps. The charger will charge to the battery's optimum level by constantly monitoring the battery and adjusting the charging current accordingly. LEDs will show the battery's state of charge at 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%. When the charge is complete as indicated by the 100% green LED, the charger will provide a float charge to maintain the battery at 100%. During the pulse mode green pulsing LEDs will flash in sequence. The LEDs allow users to understand what is happening to the battery during the recovery and charging process with minimal operator training. The XCR- 20 also features over temperature protection and output current limit protec- tion so that monitoring during the battery charging process isn't necessary. After a battery has been restored and/or re-conditioned we advise installing one of our preventative maintenance products such as a SolarPulse (Page 6-8) or PowerPulse (Page 13) as discussed in our BMMP (Page 3). 100X500 XCR-20 Xtreme Recovery Charger & Desulfator .......... $739.95 Specifications Input Voltage: 110-250 VAC Min Voltage for Startup: 4 Volts Output Current: 16 A DC Output Voltage, Bulk Charge: 14.9 Volts Dimensions: 14.2" x 11.4" x 6.5" Weight: 11.1 lbs.
