Battery type selection
InteliCharger 240 24 is completely automatic charger suitable to charge most battery types. Charger can charge
open lead acid, sealed lead acid, gel and NiCd–NiMH batteries.
IMPORTANT: Power off the charger before setting the jumper.

Note: For NiCd–NiMH batteries end-of-charge is determined by negative ΔV detection of battery voltage (-5
mV/cell). If no negative ΔV but only a “flat” profile is detected fast charge is terminated after 10 min. General
end-of-charge timeout set to 16 h. Float charge current is regulated at 10% of max current corresponding to
trimmer position. In order to detect end-of-charge negative ΔV, charging current must be set at least at 30% of
nominal battery capacity (0.3 C). With lower values of charging current negative ΔV detection is not
guaranteed.
Boost charge selection
Set jumper on position 5 to enable boost charging.Using this option charging voltage in Bulk
and Absorption stage is adjusted to 28.80 V (2.40 V / cell).
