At the edge of your yacht there are three fully automatic high-efciency bat-
tery chargers. They feature an optimized charge technique to charge batter-
ies quickly and safely, while feeding the connected uses. In addition, they
are protected against short circuits, overload and high temperatures (engine
room).
On the front side of the chargers, a capacity gauge gives you some informa-
tion on the residual capacity of the batteries, like the fuel level gauge of a
car. The more LEDs are lit, the more the battery is charged.

One of the LEDs on the front side turns on and the charge starts immedi-
ately.

The connection between the electric mains and the battery charger is not
interrupted with the switch.
