1  OVERVIEW 
BAC06A switching battery charger adopts the latest switch power components, which is designed for 
charging lead-acid starting battery according to its property. The charger is suitable for lead-acid battery 
float charge. The maximum charge current for 12V charger is 6A; the maximum charge current for 24V 
charger is 3A. 
2  PERFORMANCE AND CHARACTERISTICS 
Characteristics are as below: 
—  Designed in switching power structure, wide range of AC voltage input, small volume, light weight and 
high efficiency; 
—  Two-stage  charging  method  (constant  current  firstly  and  then  constant  voltage),  fully  considering 
charging property of the lead-acid battery, can avoid overcharging and extend the battery life to the 
fullest; 
—  With short circuit and reverse connection protection; 
—  Charging voltage and current can be adjusted via potentiometer on site;   
—  LED display: Power indication and charging indication; 
—  Horizontal type for installation of BAV06A, easy to install; 
3  CHARGING PRINCIPLE 
 
Chart 1. Charge Principle 
According  to  charging  property  of  the  lead-acid  battery,  battery  charger  uses  2-stage  charging 
method  and  charge  mode  is  “constant-current”.  When  battery  voltage  is  under  the  threshold,  it  is 
charging in constant-current mode; when the battery voltage is higher than the threshold,the charging 
current is decreasing as the battery voltage is rising until it reaches the set voltage, and then charge 
mode is turned into “floating charge”. Charge current is gradually reducing and battery voltage is rising 
up to the set value. When charging current is lower than 0.3A, the battery is basically fully charged 
(charging indicator eliminates). Afterwards, charging current will offset self-discharge of the battery and 
long time charging does no harm to the battery. Thus the charger can not only maintain a full charged 
condition and but also ensure the battery life.
