TecMate TS-02 BatteryMate 150-9 - TecMate

Specifications

The TecMate TS-02 BatteryMate 150-9 is engineered as a comprehensive solution for 12V lead-acid batteries, integrating testing, charging, and desulfation capabilities. It is compatible with Standard (STD), Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM), and Gel cell 12V batteries ranging from 2Ah to 45Ah. The unit offers six selectable constant charging currents, from 1A up to 9A, to ensure appropriate charge rates for various battery capacities. For diagnostic purposes, it provides six load test current choices, ranging from 15A to 150A, designed to assess batteries capable of delivering 20 to 330 Cold Cranking Amps (CCA) (SAE). Testing includes a 3-second simulation for starting current delivery and a 15-second test to evaluate overall battery capacity.

This device features a 4-stage charging algorithm that includes recovery, main charge, absorption-cell equalization, and maintenance phases. It incorporates a specific MF (Maintenance-Free) charging selection for fully sealed and absorbed acid batteries, which can deliver up to 16.9V for optimal cell balancing. Charging and testing voltages are automatically adjusted for ambient temperature fluctuations (-4mV/°C/cell above/below 20°C/68°F) to ensure accuracy and prevent damage. The BatteryMate 150-9 supports a selectable input voltage of 100V, 115V, or 230V AC (50-60Hz). It can initiate charging on batteries discharged to as low as 1V. The unit comes with a 6-foot (180cm) AC supply lead and a pair of 6-foot (180cm) high-current charge leads terminating in heavy-duty battery clamps. Housed in a vented industrial tabletop case, it also features a wall mount option (TS-218).
