crunkjuice1 Posted December 16, 2011 Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 Just received this in the mail. My initial impressions of it is that it's a powerhouse in a compact case. I purchased this as a long term investment and I'm sure I made the right choice. The wiring as well as the unit itself is high quality. As for myself I will be mounting it on a piece of MDF about the same footprint size of it just to take care of it a little more. I have some batteries that need charging so I'll get back to that later. Thanks XSpower for making a badass charger!!!! This last one is for anyone that has or been around a battery tender plus. The HP1215 a little longer but it is a stronger charger overall. If anyone on the fence about this charger just get it, you will be glad you did.

crunkjuice1 Posted December 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2011 (edited) Sorry I just came back home. I'll write what is on the info sheet. The HF Charger is a group of advanced battery charger designed specifically for high performance 12V, 14V, or 16V sealed lead acid batteries. These chargers combine the reliability of High Frequency MOSFET rectified assembly with an advanced microprocessor control board to create a battery charger that can rapidly and safely recharge 12V, 14V and 16V maintenance free,deep cycle,gel cell, and AGM batteries in several sizes. Three stage Charging At the heart of the technology in all HF Chargers is the three distinct charging stages. During the first stage, called "bulk" charging, the current is fixed and the voltage is allowed to float. During this stage, 80% of the battery's capacity is restored. When the battery's cell voltage is up to the correct level, the second stage called "Absorption" charging is engaged. During this stage the voltage is fixed and the current is allowed to float. The battery is brought up to 100% during this stage and the cells are equalized. The third stage is "Float" charging. During this stage the voltage and current are reduced to a level that will maintain the battery indefinitely. Several microprocessors are used to tightly control the entire process. This is the same technique that battery manufacturers recommend and use in the production of new batteries and it is the fastest and safest technique for battery charging. Compatible With Most Lead acid Batteries Including AGM Lead acid batteries have different charging requirements based on their specific design. Overcharging will reduce the life of any battery as sealed valve regulated batteries are especially sensitive to high charging voltages and overcharging. Overcharging an AGM or gell cell battery will cause permanent damage. Voltage Monitoring The battery's terminal voltage is measured every five minutes by the on board microprocessors and this information is analyzed in addition to the elapsed time to dynamically control the battery charger for optimum charging performance. Automatic Computer Analysis/Auto Shutdown The microprocessors will analyze the battery when connected. If the battery's voltage is below 4V the charger may not recognize the battery is connected and will not begin charging. Likewise, if the battery will not come up to the correct voltage in a ten hour period the microprocessor control board will automatically shut the charger off. Internal Cooling Fan A cooling fan automatically operates during charging to keep the circuit and other internal components at a constant safe temperature. The absorption and max output voltage are locked at 14.4v and floats at 13.8v DC. Edited December 22, 2011 by crunkjuice1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan @ XSpower Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 Glad you like it! The HF1215 can charge wet batteries and not overcharge them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n8ball2013 Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 its awesome. I love the fact that I just plug it in and walk away.

corona_jeff Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 Simply the best by xs power. I have sold about 50 of theses units this year and no ones had any issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
