Xtreme Charge™ Adds New Life Cycles to 12-V Batteries

2007-04-15

 

SOUTHLAKE, Texas — Xtreme Charge™ is the first true Next Generation 12-volt battery maintenance charger that provides the industry’s most advanced charging system to date. The unique, new charge algorithm built into the charger coupled with advanced battery evaluation capabilities and the patented high-frequency PULSE circuitry optimizes the performance of any 12-volt lead-acid battery.

Product highlights include:


- Intelligent testing and evaluation circuitry featuring 12 LED status indicators.
- A proprietary computer-integrated system to determine and deliver the appropriate and safe amount of charge from .1A to 2.5A depending on the condition of the battery by evaluating both voltage and amperage simultaneously (an industry first).
- A unique and patented PULSE technology to minimize the size of sulfation buildup on battery plates—the reason why 80 percent of all batteries die.

Xtreme Charge™ works with all types and sizes of 12-volt lead-acid batteries including flooded, fill and charge, gel, AGM and maintenance free (from less than 10 Ah to over 150 Ah). Xtreme Charge™ includes a charger unit, fuse-protected quick-disconnect battery clamps and lugs, important safety instructions and a quick-start guide.

The Extreme Charge™ 5-stage charging system is described below:

Stage 1: Charge evaluation, test and initialization
Stage 2: Bulk charges at .1A to 2.5A
Stage 3: Absorption and saturation charge
Stage 4: Infinitely variable float maintenance charge
Stage 5: Continually PULSE charges to minimize size of lead sulfate crystals.

 

The charging system is simple to apply and monitor:
- The charging process starts once battery cables have been properly connected and have plugged Xtreme Charge™ into a 110 220-V ac power source.
- A green “on” light illuminates and indicates the charge is receiving proper ac input. If it is connected to the battery correctly, the red Test Led comes on, indicating the unit is testing the battery’s condition. During the “test” cycle, Xtreme Charge™ determines the battery’s state of charge and illuminates the appropriate light: “25%” “50%” “75%” or “100”. This test step also incorporates a “bad battery” indication if the battery is faulty and cannot be recharged.
- Once Xtreme Charge™ has evaluated the battery’s current condition the test light goes off and the appropriate charge profile begins automatically.
- The green “charging” light indicates the charger is providing bulk charge to the battery.
- Three green “pulsing” LEDs light sequentially as the charger conditions the battery simultaneously. Patented PULSE Technology enables it to accept and maintain its maximum charge. Xtreme Charge™, as opposed to other competing systems, does not allow a “trickle charge” once the battery has achieved “100%” charge. A trickle charge has proven to kill batteries.

This innovative, 5-stage Xtreme Charge™ maintenance system has proven to increase from three to five times the duty and life cycles of any size or type of 12-volt lead-acid batteries.

PULSE Technology substantially improves efficiency and extends battery life. Studies show that through the use of the Pulse Technology lead-sulfate crystals are more evenly distributed over the surface of battery plates. These microscopic changes greatly improve a battery’s ability to accept and store energy. PULSE Technology employed through Xtreme Charge™ also prevents the sulfate-induced corrosion that is the primary cause of shedding of active material.

Outdoor UL approved and CE certified, Xtreme Charge™ is safe and easy to use. It works with all types and sizes of 12-volt lead-acid batteries including flooded, fill and charge, gel, AGM and maintenance free (from less than 10 Ah to over 150 Ah). Xtreme Charge™ includes a charger with fuse-protected quick-disconnect battery clamps and lugs, important safety instructions and a quick-start guide. It comes with a five-year warranty. The MSRP is $99.95.
