The active battery balancer (equalizer) HC02 is designed for all types of rechargeable batteries (lead-acid and lithium) with a voltage of 7.4 to 14.4V, connected in series, to maintain voltage balance between the batteries. One balancer can be connected to up to 4 batteries.
When two or more battery blocks are connected in series, the voltage of the blocks during charging and discharging can vary. Through cyclic operation, it can occur that the battery voltage differs between individual blocks. One battery has a higher voltage and one battery has a lower voltage. This condition causes irreversible damage to the batteries. The battery balancer balances the voltage between the batteries – balancing at a max. voltage difference of 10mV between the batteries. This improves the performance and lifespan of the batteries connected in the battery assembly.
The balancer operates at high frequencies, so it may emit high-frequency sounds during operation; it is not suitable for living spaces!
