Reliable and Efficient Charging for Various Applications
The Cotek CX2425 is designed to provide a consistent and intelligent charging solution for different types of batteries, ensuring their optimal performance and longevity. The 3-stage charging process (Bulk, Absorption, and Float) is key to maintaining battery health:
- Bulk Charge: Provides a constant high current until the battery reaches the target voltage.
- Absorption Charge: Holds the voltage at a fixed level while the current gradually decreases, ensuring the battery is fully charged.
- Float Charge: Maintains the battery at full charge without overcharging, preserving battery life.
This process maximizes battery efficiency, ensuring that it delivers peak performance while preventing damage from improper charging.
Universal AC Input & High Efficiency
One of the standout features of the CX2425 is its universal AC input, which ranges from 90V to 264V. This makes it an excellent choice for users in different regions with varying power supply conditions. Additionally, the built-in Active Power Factor Correction (PFC) improves energy efficiency, reducing power waste and lowering operational costs.
The charger also boasts a high efficiency of up to 90%, minimizing heat generation and power consumption while ensuring fast and reliable battery charging.
Versatile Compatibility with Various Battery Types
Whether you are charging Lead Acid, Lithium-Ion, Gel, or AGM batteries, the CX2425 has you covered. This versatility makes it an ideal choice for multiple applications, including:
- Industrial battery systems
- Solar and renewable energy storage
- Electric vehicles and marine battery banks
- Backup power solutions
Users can configure the charging parameters via DIP switch settings to match their specific battery requirements.
Advanced Protection and Battery Rescue Function
Battery safety and longevity are critical concerns, and the CX2425 is equipped with multiple protection mechanisms, including:
- Short Circuit Protection – Prevents damage in case of accidental wiring issues.
- Over Voltage Protection – Ensures batteries do not receive excessive voltage, preventing overcharging.
- Over Temperature Protection – Prevents overheating, which can damage both the charger and batteries.
- Brown-out Protection – Protects against low voltage conditions that can affect charging efficiency.
Additionally, the built-in battery rescue function is a crucial feature that helps recover over-discharged batteries. By reducing the initial charge current, the charger can gradually bring a deeply depleted battery back to a safe and usable condition, extending its lifespan.
Remote Monitoring and Easy Integration
For added convenience, the CX2425 supports remote monitoring and control via the optional Cotek CR-1 Remote Controller. This allows users to monitor charging status and make adjustments without needing to be physically near the charger.
The charger is also compact and lightweight, making it easy to integrate into various systems, whether mounted in an industrial setting, a vehicle, or a backup power system.
