Intelligent battery charger

A battery charger dynamically assesses charging requirements using intelligent technology. As long as batteries have the same voltage, the Powertech charger re-charges batteries from 450–1200 amp hours without adjustments. It inverts incoming AC power into high frequency AC (16-33 kHz) before returning it to DC power. This isolation allows for power factors at or near unity.
