B Description of battery charger

1 Technical description

The SLT 100 battery charger is designed

for the fully automatic charging and
recharging of lead batteries and is 1
equipped with a special electronic charging
system (1, 2). The rated charging current
specified flows at a charging voltage of
2.0 volts per cell. The battery must be
assigned so that the initial charging current
is approx. 16 Amperes per 100 Ah of
battery capacity.

The battery charger is protected on the 2

secondary side by a fuse (5) acting as
a short circuit protection and by a sensor to
limit the transformer temperature. 3
To ensure the operational safety of the
system, only self-cooled stacked silicon
rectifier elements (4) are used.
4
Stray field transformers (6) are used to
comply with the specified charging
characteristic.
The stray field transformers are equipped
with additional primary tapping to
DIN 41 774, corresponding to +10 %,
+5 %, 0 % and -5 % to allow for mains

F Metal watch bracelets, bracelets and

necklaces must not be worn when handling
batteries!

Fire protection measures:

Smoking and open flames are not
permitted when handling batteries. There
should be no flammable substances or
spark-generating equipment (e.g. machine
tools) within a minimum 2 metre radius of
the truck when it is parked for battery
recharging. It is forbidden to operate
devices with a high surface temperature
(e.g. soldering irons, heater blowers, etc.).

Place the charger only on a solid and

secure surface.

M
The surface must not consist of flammable
material.

F
Charging batteries leads to the generation
of explosive gases. Sufficient ventilation
must be provided during charging and at
least for one hour after charging has been
completed.

The room must be ventilated. Check the

ventilation system each time before you
charge. Fire fighting equipment must be
held ready.

M Parts that can be sucked in due to the

suction of the ventilation fans must not be
stored in the vicinity of the battery charger.
Clogged ventilation slits cause overheating
and fire hazard.

F
Do not use water to cool overheated battery
chargers.

Battery servicing:
The battery cell screw caps must be kept
dry and clean. Terminals and cable shoes
must be clean, lightly greased with pole
grease and must be securely tightened.

Ventilation: as the battery is recharged.
Battery chargers must be set up so that
they are not exposed to charging gases and
electrolytic mist.

Chargers and batteries must therefore be

housed in separate locations wherever
possible. If this is not possible, adequate
natural and artificial ventilation must be
provided to ensure that the gas mixture
generated during charging will lose its
explosiveness.

Functional test:
When commissioning new charging
equipment, and thereafter at adequate
intervals, checks must be performed to
ensure correct operation of the battery
charger, and especially correct functioning
of automatic charging switches and
measurement instrument display.
At the start of charging, the amperage and
voltage must be checked in order to detect
any irregularities in the patterns of the
battery or charging equipment.

Mains supply:
If, in the event of mains voltage fluctuations
lasting over a long period of time, the output
voltage changes, the battery chargers must
be readjusted ensuring that the admissible
limits as indicated by the battery supplier
are observed (e.g. final charging current in
the case of lead batteries).

Z
Short-time mains voltage fluctuations may
be ignored.
