THE BATTERY CHARGER THAT EVERY HOUSEHOLD SHOULD HAVE

OVERVIEW
The MULTI XS 3600 is a versatile battery charger in a compact format that makes it convenient and easy to charge and maintain all household vehicles. The special cold mode means that you can also charge during cold winter days without problems. The MULTI XS 3600 satisfies all the home’s charging needs as it charges all types of 12V batteries.


FEATURES

  • Four step, fully automatic switch mode model.
  • Charges lead-acid batteries (Wet, MF, GEL and AGM) from 1.2Ah to 120Ah.
  • Maintenance pulse charging increases battery life and gives superb performance.
  • Charges even drained batteries.
  • Pulse recover of slightly sulphated batteries.
  • Three unique charging modes for use on small batteries, large batteries and a special cold mode that is also suitable for AGM batteries.
  • Low back current drain, low ripple and input voltage independent (170-260V).
  • High efficiency: 85%
  • Delivered with two interchangeable connection leads, one with clamps, and one with eyelet terminals.
  • The charger can be connected for months, ideal for seasonal vehicles.
  • Compact design with mounting holes for permanent assembly.
  • 2 year warranty.


BATTERIES

The MULTI XS 3600 can be set very easily to charge Wet, MF, GEL and AGM lead-acid batteries. You will find an explanation of the various battery types under Charger University, Battery Types. You can use the MULTI XS 3600 to charge a range of batteries, from small 1.2Ah to large 120Ah.

SETTINGSEXPLANATION
Mode 14.4V/0.8A This mode is normally used for batteries less than 14Ah.
Car Mode 14.4V/3.6A Normal setting for wet batteries, MF and for most GEL batteries.
Snowflake Mode 14.7V/3.6A This mode is recommended for many AGM batteries. This mode is also useful for charging batteries in sub-zero temperatures.

 

MOUNTING

The charger is easily fitted in place using two screws. The diameter of the mounting holes is 4.5mm located as shown in the image. The image also shows the dimensions of the charger.

SAFETY

  • Electronic safe, the charger will not damage vehicle electronics. The battery does not normally need to be disconnected from the vehicle when charging.
  • Minimal gas build-up and a patent-pending spark protection system.
  • Short circuit and reverse polarity protected.
  • Double insulation.
  • Splash and dust proof (IP65) and approved for outdoor use.
  • Progressive temperature protection.
  • Tested and approved by Intertec SEMKO AB. S-marked and conforms to the following standards: EN 60335-1, EN 60335-2-29, EN 55014-1, EN 55014-2, EN 61000-3-2, EN 61000-3-3, EN 60555-2.

TEMPERATURE

To protect the charger from overheating, the MULTI XS 3600 is fitted with power limitation. The power reduces when the ambient temperature increases. The power also reduces if the charger were to be covered, which protects the charger from damage. The charger continues to work, but at a lower output. When the ambient temperature drops, the power automatically increases again.


EQUIPMENT

The MULTI XS 3600 is delivered with two different battery leads, one with clamps and one with eyelet terminals, all colour coded for easy +/- identification.

If the battery is difficult to access, the lead with eyelet terminals can be mounted to the battery, and the quick connectors are located so that it is easily reached for charging.

You can also purchase additional leads allowing you to have one lead with eyelet terminals fixed to all your vehicles with batteries that are difficult to get at, and charge them simply from the same charger.

CHARGING

The MULTI XS 3600 has a fully automatic, four step charge:

The fully automatic four steps of the MULTI XS 3600 charger.

  1. Desulphation
    Desulphation with pulsing for sulphated batteries.
  2. Bulk
    Primary charging where approximately 80% of the charging takes place. The charger delivers maximum current until the terminal voltage has risen to the preset level. After a number of hours, the charger goes on to the next phase, even if maximum voltage is not reached.
  3. Absorption
    Final charging, voltage is kept at the preset level. During this phase, the current is gradually reduced. If the maximum length of time for Absorption is exceeded, the charger automatically continues with Analysis.
  4. Maintenance charging - pulse
    State of charge varies between 95% and 100%. The battery receives a pulse when the voltage sinks, keeping the battery in good shape when it is not being used. The charger can be connected for months at a time. If the battery is charged and/or the battery’s terminal voltage drops, the charger starts a charge pulse until the voltage has reached the preset level. The charge pulse is then interrupted and the cycle is repeated as long as the charger is in pulse maintenance phase. If the terminal voltage drops even lower, the charger automatically reverts to the beginning of the charging curve. If possible, check the water level in the battery.

Using the MULTI XS 3600 gives your battery an optimum service life and operational reliability.

ADD-ON:S

The following extra ADD-ON:s are available for the MULTI XS 3600:

Connection lead with eyelet terminals.
Available in diameters of 6.4mm or 8.4mm. Eyelet terminals		 alt
Connection lead with cigarette plug. alt

*) Back current drain is what drains the battery if the charger is connected without the power cord connected. The MULTI XS 3600's extremely low back current drain corresponds to 1Ah per month. Many other chargers have 1Ah per day.

**) Ripple denotes the amount of interference there is to the current and voltage. A high current ripple heats the battery and shortens its life. A linear charger has a current ripple of 70 - 400% which is much larger than the maximum 5% for a modern sealed battery. Voltage ripple could harm other equipment, which is connected to the battery. The MULTI XS 3600's ripple is only 2%. The battery gains a long service life and there is no risk of damage to other electronic devices connected to the battery.
