There is an LCD panel that offers access to a wealth of information including data about the last 250 cycles and graphs for the last 15 cycles.
Information is displayed graphically and text is available in seven languages.
Recharge information can be downloaded and the charger software can be upgraded via the communications socket, located on the front panel.
This new charger includes a battery recovery mode, that employs a special charging technique to recover batteries that have been stood for a long time, have been over discharged or that are sulphated.
This enables the battery to be quickly returned to active service.
CMP places a great deal of emphasis on energy efficiency to help customers reduce their whole life costs.
The 2100HP can automatically detect lightly discharged batteries and performs an opportunity charge cycle that ensures that the battery is not over heated and also increases the time between watering cycles.
A low energy standby mode is automatically entered when the charger is not in use.
The 2100HP is compatible with the Exide Technologies expansion system which allows more options including integration with a safety disconnect, automatic air agitation and automatic battery watering systems.
It can also work in conjunction with the Exide Technologies 2100.net battery management and BattID systems.
