The XS 0.8 is above all an optimal maintenance charger for seasonal vehicles with batteries up to 100Ah. It easily charges smaller 12V batteries common to motorbikes, lawnmowers and jet skis.
Charging
The XS 0.8 has a fully automatic, six step charge:
Desulphation
Runs a complete charge cycle within a fraction of a second. The cycle repeats during the whole desulphation phase. Every cycle recovers some lead sulphate into useful material.
Bulk
Charging where 80% of the energy is returned. The charger delivers a constant current until the battery voltage has reached the set level.
Absorption
Final part of the charge up to 100%. The battery voltage is kept constant at the set level, during which time the current drops gradually.
Pulse
Maintenance charging. The state of charge varies between 95% and 100%. A pulse is sent out to the battery if the voltage drops. This keeps the battery in trim when not in use. The charger can be connected for months at a time.
Using the XS 0.8 gives your battery an optimum service life and operational reliability.
Batteries
The XS 0.8 charges lead-acid batteries (Wet, MF, GEL and AGM) from 1.2Ah to 32Ah. You will find an explanation of the various battery types under Charger University, Battery Types.
The charger can also be used for maintenance charging of 12V lead-acid batteries from 1.2Ah to 100Ah.
The XS 0.8 is easy to use. You do not need to make any settings. The charger adapts the charge to suit the battery and switches to pulse maintenance charging when the battery is fully charged.
