MULTI XS 15000

For those who need power

The MULTI XS 15000 is the perfect choice for batteries that require quick charging, including caravans, boats and the workshop. The temperature sensor adjusts the charge voltage to suit the battery’s temperature to guarantee effective battery charging in all climates. Using its SUPPLY mode, the battery charger provides power even without a battery. The SUPPLY mode is indispensable when changing the battery as you avoid losing difficult-to-restore program settings. Using RECOND mode, you can correct the acid stratification that often occurs in deeply discharged batteries. The battery thereby has its power restored and has a longer service life.

CHARGE CHARACTERISTICS
The XS 15000 charges and analyses in eight fully automatic steps.

1. Desulphation runs a complete charge cycle within a fraction of a second. The cycle is repeated during the whole desulphation step. Every cycle recovers some lead sulphate into useful material.

2. Soft Start tests the battery condition. Severly discharged batteries needs the soft start step. The charging starts with a reduced current (max 15 A) for 4 h until the voltage reaches 12 V.

3. Bulk is the main step where most of the charge is returned (80%). The charger delivers maximum current (15 A) until the terminal voltage has risen to the set level (or for max 20 h).

4. Absorption completes the charge up to virtually 100% at a constant voltage of 14.4 V at +25 °C. The current tapers off until 4 h after the current reached the 2.5 A level. The step is maximized to 12 h.

5. Analysis is a short intermission in the cycle analysing the voltage drop, testing self-discharge. The voltage of a defective battery will quickly drop. The charge cycle will be stopped with a warning indication if voltage drops to 12.0 V in 3 minutes.

6. Recond is used to recover deeply discharged flooded batteries. Recondition of deep discharged batteries suffering from stratification. The voltage increases (to max 15.8 V) with reduced current (3 A) for a limited time period (4 h), or for 30 minutes. The higher voltage starts some gassing and mixing of the acid, which is beneficial for both battery capacity and expected life. The battery could emit explosive gas during this step.

7. Float is maintenance charge at constant voltage, keeping the batteries at 100% charge. Normal charging mode are time-limited (max 10 days) while Supply mode goes on indefinately.

8. Pulse is maintenance charge for maximum battery life. Charging varies between 95% and 100% state of charge. The battery receives a pulse, starting a new charge cycle, when voltage drops to set limit. This keeps the battery in perfect condition when it is not in use. The charger can be connected for months keeping the batteries fresh.

The MULTI XS 15000 charges and analyses in eight fully automatic steps.

Using the XS 15000 will enhance battery life and ensure a high degree of operational safety.

BATTERY TYPES AND PROGRAMMING
The XS 15000 can easily be set for different types of lead-acid batteries or conditions.
With XS 15000 you can charge batteries from 30 Ah to 500 Ah.

TEMPERATURE PROTECTION
To protect the charger from overheating, the XS 15000 is equipped with a power delimiter. At raised ambient temperatures output power is reduced. The power will also be reduced if the charger should be accidentally covered. In this way the charger is protected from damage. The charger continues to operate but at a lower power output. When the ambient temperature drops the power will automatically rise again.

TEMPERATURE COMPENSATION
XS 15000 has got a sensor which automatically adjusts the charging voltage if the temperature deviates from +25 °C. A high temperature lowers the voltage and freezing conditions is handled by higher voltage. The temperature is best measured on or very close to the battery. The sensor should therefore always be placed as close to the battery as possible when charging. The sensor cable could be prolonged or cut to length with the same functionality.
