VDC Electronics Inc.
Englewood, N.J.-based VDC Electronics Inc. has developed three fully automatic three-stage maintenance chargers and desulphator-conditioners able to handle up to 6 batteries at a time. They are available for 12-v, 24-v, and 36-v battery setups. The BatteryMINDer- dubbed by the company as the “charger-desulphators with a brain”, safely maintains batteries over extended time while continuously conditioning them. The units work on all types of batteries, including 12-v and 6-volt deep cycle, maintenance-free, agm, gel, and sealed-valve regulated.Models 12041, 24021 and 36131 produce high frequency pulses, causing the sulfuric acid crystals known as “sulphation” to un-bond, returning the acid to the cell’s electrolyte. The company says sulphation is the number one cause of early battery failure and diminished capacity. The units’ second stage “floats” the battery at full charge, without overcharging it. During the third stage the battery is automatically desulphated.
