What should be the charger so as not to kill the battery

Winter is a time of increased risk for any type of battery. The car battery needs to be charged about once every three months. Even if you drive your car regularly, alternator charging to prevent battery damage and electrolyte boiling off will slightly undercharge the battery. Undercharging is especially present in winter, as low temperatures significantly reduce charging efficiency.

Well, if the battery is discharged, it is best not to “light” it, but to fully charge it using a charger (charger). Which one is better? Technical specialists of JSC “NIIPP”, working in the field of the electronic industry, note the charger “Kedr-Avto” as the most reliable and with an optimal set of useful functions (zero charge, desulphation, boost charge, automatic shutdown and others).

What type of car is Kedr-Auto suitable for?

“Cedars” are suitable for car batteries, these chargers charge 6 and 12 volt lead-acid batteries with a capacity of up to 60 Ah (the “Kedr-Auto” line consists of four types of devices, depending on the functionality, they can be found on the site) . Suitable for charging car batteries, as well as batteries for motor vehicles, electric children’s cars, snowmobiles.

The main purpose of the charger is to replenish the energy in the battery to its maximum value. And if there is a question about which memory to choose – a compact size and light weight or the most reliable one that will last for many years – the choice will be in favor of Kedr-Auto.

Advantages of “Kedr-Auto”:

• Reliability and durability (minimal elements, no life-limited electrolytic capacitors). Kedr has its own niche, there is no direct analogue among imported chargers. In general, there are not that many transformer chargers on the market. Their advantage is reliability and durability due to the simplicity of design and the minimum number of elements in the circuit. “Kedr” has been used for three generations: it is so reliable that it has been in continuous service for many years.

• The presence of the “Cycle” mode for battery capacity recovery. During prolonged use in undercharge mode (for example, at low outside temperatures, with frequent but short trips), poorly soluble lead sulfate crystals form on the battery electrodes, which reduce the capacity and starting currents of the battery (so-called sulfation of the battery) – the battery takes load worse. Regular charging of “Kedrom” at room temperature reduces sulfation of the battery electrodes, which significantly extends the battery life.

• Automatic shutdown – reliable protection against polarity reversal / battery overcharging (above “Kedr-Auto” devices have an “AUTOMATIC” mode). Modern batteries have become more reliable and functional, but this does not mean that they can work in any conditions without observing safety rules. Overcharging is just as bad as undercharging and can damage a battery (of a car, motorcycle or other device). In “AUTO” mode, the charger selects and controls the required charging current, when the battery voltage reaches 14.8 ± 0.4V, charging is automatically turned off. If the charger remains connected to the battery, it will switch to charge-maintenance mode and when the battery discharges itself, charge compensation takes place, charging the battery to the required voltage. Both in case of overload and reverse polarity, the device switches off without risk of damage.

• Possibility of safe recharge deeply discharged batteries (from 0 to 7 V) low current. “Kedr” can “revive” worn-out batteries, on which many automatic devices turn off without recognizing the load.

• The “Pre-start” mode makes it possible speed up charging batteries with increased current up to 10A in emergency when you need to go urgently and the battery is empty.

• “Kedr-Auto” has protection against wrong connection and short circuit of the battery cable terminals.

• Build quality and material quality from a reliable manufacturer.

• Easy to drive.

• Status indication (depending on the model). Digital indicator for monitoring the value of the charging current and battery voltage; LED indicators show the operating mode of the device.

• low price (because of the simplicity of the device). You can see the price and buy “Kedr”. clutch with free delivery in Russia

• A great choice for yourself and as a gift for father and friend.

• For an ordinary motorist, “Kedr-Auto” is the most reliable charger, without bells and whistles and with a number of essential functions – it will always help if something happens to the battery.

Does Kedr-Auto charge the battery in the cold?

The chemistry of the charging process is very slow at negative temperatures and the battery does not accept the charge well at sub-zero temperatures. Therefore, for a high-quality charge of the battery, it is necessary, first of all, to warm it up.

Can Kedr-Auto charge a calcium-calcium battery?

Calcium batteries are often released as maintenance free (they don’t have the option to add water to adjust the electrolyte level). When charging the battery “Kedrom” at the last stage there is a slight gas formation, which eventually leads to a decrease in the electrolyte level. If the battery does not have the possibility to top up with water, then Kedr is not the best solution for regularly charging such batteries. If there is access to refill water, Kedr-Auto can be used for such batteries.

Who is the manufacturer?

“Kedr-Auto” is produced at one of the leading enterprises of the electronics industry in Russia – JSC “NIIPP” (part of the structure of the state enterprise “Rostec”). Opened in 1964, NIIPP has extensive experience in scientific development, including advanced technologies, and their implementation in manufacturing. The basis of NIIPP work is a closed cycle “research – development – production of finished products”. Multi-stage control of the production process and product certification is provided by our own accredited test center.
