I-MATE Battery Chager for Digital Camera Battery,Camcorder Battery

Buy a I-MATE Battery Bank Charger

• 1.When buy a I-MATE battery bank charger, it is important to choose one that charges your battery as accurately and efficiently as possible
• 2.The Demands of a I-MATE Battery Charger:Choosing a battery charger for your camera battery or camcorder battery can be more complicated than choosing other electronics because there are additional factors to consider when charging batteries in a charging environment. The following factors will affect what charger you should choose for your particular needs.
  a.Charging takes place under a variety of environmental conditions.
  b.Charging is done under electrical conditions with an imperfect sine wave.
  c.There is always a risk of overcharging the battery with the wrong charger.
  d.Configuration of the battery bank during charging.
  All of the above factors should be carefully considered when choosing a battery charger for your needs
  
• 3.Determine Your Battery Type :in order to select the right charger, you need to know the specifications of the battery that you want to charge. Determine your input voltage, battery type, and amp-hour capacity:
  a.Input correct voltage for digital camera battery and camcorder battery
  b.Battery type is typically either gel, flooded, or AGM.
  c.Battery capacity is listed on the battery as "Ah
  
• 4.Choose a I-MATE Battery Charger That Won't Overcharge:One of the fastest ways to degrade a battery is choosing a charger that either overcharges or undercharges the battery. Overcharging can overheat the battery, it can cause excessive water loss in flooded batteries, and in general you run the risk of damaging your batteries. The correct rate of charging is based on the battery capacity, which you determine from the "Ah" rating listed on the battery. A safe charging rate is accepted within the battery industry as about 20 percent of the Ah capacity of your battery. This means that a 100 Ah battery would ideally be charged at a 20 Adc rate
• 5. Using a Battery BankIt is common practice by many mariners to connect battery banks of various capacity batteries to the charger. While the ideal condition would be to run the same capacity batteries on the same bank, sometimes this isn't realistic. You can connect different capacity batteries to the same bank as long as you choose a battery charger that is sized based on the capacity of the smallest battery bank. This will protect the potential of overcharging and overheating any of the batteries with the smallest capacity. However, you may still experience longer charge times for the larger banks. If this becomes a problem, it would be a good idea to invest in a new charger that's more closely rated for the larger banks in your system
