Battery life - a car life source - ranges from 5 to 7 years. It all depends on the operating conditions. However, you can raise the battery resource if it is possible to recharge it and conduct special workouts. For these purposes, the Cedar Charger was developed - one of the best in the whole automotive market in Russia.

The operation of any rechargeable battery is based on the anode-cathode reactions that occur between lead elements and a solution of sulfuric acid. As a result of the restoration of lead dioxide on the cathode, we get an electric current. However, over time, the course of reactions weakens. It is then that it is necessary to connect "rectifiers" that restore the source elements.

Series Cedar Charger

The main purpose of the series of domestic instruments "Cedar" is charging the battery and the restoration of its performance, lost by virtue of the formation of lead sulfates and electrode oxidation. In addition, the Cedar Charger can be used for "training" AKB in order to increase its technical characteristics and extend the service life.

Externally, the instruments of the series are plastic parallelepiped black of a contented large mass. On the front side there is a control panel. The device has a cable for connecting to an AC network, two clamps that are joined directly to the battery terminals. Adjusting the device for recharging occurs in automatic mode.

The series of devices includes preservation devices that are used to start the car engine with a highly discharged battery ("Cedar Mini"). Also in the assortment there are universal units that perform both functions (Cedar-Auto-10 charger).

Control Panel

Before launching the device, you must familiarize yourself with the rules of its operation. Neglecting this simple rule can cause an electric shock until the fatal outcome.

The most important thing is to study the instrument control panel before connecting it to the battery. In the overwhelming majority of cases, it includes:

1. Control switch automatic modes "charge / dispense".
2. Insert welker holder, in other words, the fuse connector.
3. Tumbler automatic modes "continuous / cyclic".
4. Ampmeter and full battery charge indicator in the form of a LED.

In the rear wall of the device there is a small compartment in which there are cords needed to connect the device charger "cedar" to the supply network and battery.

Differences of devices from other chargers

The family of instruments "Kedr" loved to domestic motorists for ease of use.

The device recharges or restores the performance of the battery due to the automatic functions built into its control board:

1. Cyclic work - ensures partial reduction of the redox capabilities of electrodes during sulfate elements.
2. The battle of the battery - brings a permanent charge to complete container.
3. Turn off the battery after complete charge.

Also, the device is equipped with automatic protection against short circuit due to random contact of the output clips or incorrect connection of the AKB. When triggered, the protection system simply stops feeding the electric current, thereby protecting both the device charger "cedar" itself and the battery.

Before charging

Before charging, you need to make sure that yours accumulator battery Need recharging and it is good. To do this, it is necessary to measure the voltage on the terminals. In winter, the maximum allowable level of discharge is no more than 25% of the nominal value, and in the summer - no more than 50%. If a voltmeter shows the values \u200b\u200bbelow, the battery needs charging.

Standard Akb for the vehicle has a rating voltage of 12 volts. Only in this case "cedar" is a charger (instruction below) - can charge the battery. Read also the battery passport to make sure that this is true. Remember that for charge, the voltage in the charging device should be higher than the battery voltage. Otherwise, nothing will happen.

User's manual

The instruction states that for charge battery, you must perform the following:

1. Extract the cord from the cavity on the back wall, gently stretch them on the floor, to ensure that the clips do not come into contact.
2. Connect the device to the variable current source of 220 volts.
3. Switch the sinks to the "charge" and "continuous" position.
4. Observing polarity, attach the clips to the terminals of the AKB.

After that, charging the battery will begin. As soon as the electric container is fully recovered, the device Charger "Cedar" will notify about this red indicator "End of charge". After that, Akb is ready to work.

Restoration of workability

Reducing the capacity of the battery occurs as a result of partial sulfate plate - the formation of sulfates on the electrodes. Increase performance and increase the durability of the AKB in this case. For this you need:

1. Connect the device clips to terminals.
2. Tumbler Translate to the "cyclically" position.
3. Connect to battery light bulb 12V or 6B.

Recovering performance occurs according to the following scheme: the device charger "Cedar" is charged for 45 seconds, and then turns off, and the lamp is entering the operation, which within 15 seconds discharge the battery. Such a cyclic charge / discharge increases the resource and performance of the AKB.

What is the features of Cedar Auto 10?

A device was developed in 2008 to LLC "Scientific and Production enterprise Dunes" of Tomsk, replacing the cedar-auto-4 predecessor. It is intended for charging batteries based on acid electrolyte and lead plates. (12-volt). Compared to the previous model cedar Charger Auto 10 is finding well:

• Has a high degree of protection against incorrect connection, overload and short closure closure;
• The model is equipped with the most modern transformers made by the leading enterprise of the Russian Federation;
• There is an pre-training mode - the fluster mode (the battery is charged at a current strength to 10a), after which it automatically switches to a rated charging with current power in 5a;
• After the process of charging the battery current in 4 and the system independently translates the device to the recharging mode at a current of 0.5 A. thus the full charge of the battery is guaranteed and its recharge is not allowed;
• It is possible to desulfation of AKB in cyclic charge mode;
• The warranty service life is exactly one year from the date of sale;
• In the automatic charge mode, the rated current is 4 A;
• With the right to exploitation and compliance with the rules for storing the service life of at least five years;
• The weight of the device does not exceed 0.6 kilograms.

Brief characteristic of the charger Cedar Auto 10:

Preparation mode - does not exceed 10 A;
Dimensions - 185x130x90 millimeters;
Power consumption - does not exceed 250W;
Charge current Nominal 4 A;
Voltage charged battery nominal - 12V;
Power supply voltage Rated - 220 ± 10% in;
Mass - does not exceed 0.6 kilograms.

The time that is required for the full quality battery charging is directly dependent on how discharged the state of the battery before the charging start, and which container has a battery. Preparation mode is ensured by the microprocessor, which is equipped with a Cedar Charger Auto 10. To activate it, you just need to click the "Automatic" button. After that, the automatic charger system serves increased current. This mode is indispensable in cases where the battery needs to be charged as quickly as possible.

Anyone who has a car is perfectly known where there is a color parallelepiped, placed by colored stickers, why it is needed, but few people think that the battery is not eternal, and at least you need to care for it. Only then can she stretch to her 5-7 years old. And if necessary, it needs to be charged. And charge correctly, and for this now there are all the conditions.

Cedar Charger Auto 4A

Wednesdays of hundreds of thousands of charging models (memory), many motorists prefer domestic charging. Either the genetic power of habits, whether the boatful patriotism, but a certain popularity is used by the Cedar Cedar Charger 4a. Many have difficulty repairing this device due to the fact that the scheme is lost, and it is not always possible to find the original. We rummaged in our archives, and dug off the scheme of the device that we offer to study.

It has a simple architecture, and it is quite simple to understand if you can distinguish a resistor from the canister. And if you can not, we will try to explain what it is, why it is needed and how to use it.

When you need to use the charger

Chemistry is a fine thing, and the battery is covered with chemical processes. In the subtleties of chemistry, we will not plunge, but find out what concerns the average motorist, its battery, and the Cedar Charger 4a.

Akb must be in order. In winter and summer. But it has a permissible degree of discharge, which is checked quite simply - with the help of a carometer if the design of the battery allows, either by measuring the minimum voltage in the outputs. In the first case, the density is measured, in the second directly voltage. The permissible value of the discharge of the battery in winter is 25% of the nominal, and in the summer - 50%. If the bank can keep the voltage of 1.6 in for five seconds, it means it is fully charged. If the voltage is 1.4 B, it means the battery of the village by 50%. All arithmetic.

It is necessary to carry out the recharging of the battery, and if you chose a cedar of auto 4a, it will fully cope with its task if it is properly. And the consequences of incorrect charging may be unsolved for the battery, so no matter how smart the device is not to be controlled.

Description

Any battery is charged from a source exceeding the battery voltage, and it should be a source direct current. Consequently, the memory must convert an alternating current to a permanent, and at the output to give us the stress required to charging. The device does it perfectly. Here is its technical data:

• able to operate from the household network 220 V ± 11 V;
• rated battery voltage, which he charges - 12 V;
• minimum charge current - 4.0 A;
• consumes no more than 85 W.

It is also intended for charging, and to restore batteries that have lost charge due to a number of reasons. Crop the voltage drop on the battery may have a mass of factors, but the mainstream is considered the sulfate plates and their oxidation. Cedar is also designed for training charging and discharge cycles that restore the ability of the battery to keep charge.

Charging occurs a certain amount of time, which depends on the capacity of the battery, on the degree of wear of the plates, as well as on the degree of battery discharge. Equipped with the simplest microprocessor, managing all possible charging modes and device operation.

Functions

When connected with polarity observance, the machine begins charging the battery in automatic mode, which signals the LED. In this mode, a standard battery charging is carried out by no more than 4 A with voltage control on outputs. When the maximum charging voltage value is reached, the device itself turns off from the battery. This is what the flashing LED says.

To remove sulfate, it is necessary to use the "cycle" mode. In this mode, it is desirable to connect a parallel load on the battery, which consumes about 1 and current. For this, a car light is suitable for 6 watts. If this is not done, the process will be held too successfully, but it will take a little longer. To completely eliminate sulfate, it is necessary to leave the battery connected to the device for 3-5 days.

The device also has the pre-charging mode of the battery. In this case, charging is faster due to the fact that the current of the high nominal value is applied - up to 10 A. The process lasts about five minutes. After that, the device automatically switches to the "Automatic" mode, and already limits the current to 4 A.

Thus, the cedar of auto 4a works. Due to the simple scheme, any malfunction can be revealed and eliminated, and the device serves long enough. Follow the ammeter, and good luck on the road!

Modern chargers have small sizes and weight, and also have increased efficiency and safety margin. Cedar Auto 10A is a category of such products. Due to the fact that this model is made in our country, it is maximally adapted to operation in conditions of non-permanent characteristics of the electric current on the network.

Device Overview

Cedar Charger Auto 10A consists of a rectangular plastic case, on the front panel of which there are elements of indication and control. To control the level of charging current, the device is equipped with a mechanical ammeter.

Also in the front panel of the device built-in LED, which allows you to visually determine in which mode it works. To the right of the LED there is a button with which you can easily select the battery charge option.

From the opposite side, an electrical cable with a plug and output wires to the battery are connected to the charger to the battery, at the ends of which spring clamps are.

Technical characteristics of the device cedar auto 10a

In order to ensure maximum efficiency when using Cedar Auto 10a, you need to know the main technical characteristics of such devices. The following parameters are specified in the instructions for this device:

The territory of Russia is divided into 4 climatic zones, so besides the main technical characteristics It is important to know under what environmental conditions is allowed to operate the charger cedar car.

If the car is charging on the open area in winter, then the minimum temperature below which the operation is prohibited is minus 10 degrees Celsius. Maximum positive operating temperature Cedar Auto 10A is + 40º C.

Features of the device and for which battery is designed

Using the charger, the cedar auto 10a can be charged with a 12 volt car battery. A feature of this model is the inability to set the exact value of the current strength. The main charging cycle of the car is an automatic process that is activated when connecting the memory to the battery and ends at the time of reaching the full charge of the battery. The maximum value of the current for the battery terminals throughout the entire charging cycle is 5 A.

Given these features of the device, it can be assumed that when charging the batteries of a large container will need too much time. To complete the charge of the battery, it will be necessary to submit to its terminals 10% for 10 hours, so the battery capacity of 150 a / h is not charged even during the day.

How to charge the battery using cedar auto 10a

Charge an ACB with a cedar of auto 10a can be in three modes: automatic, prep and cyclic. Each option to restore the charge has its own characteristics, therefore, to properly connect the device, you must follow several actions.

In automatic mode

In automatic mode, the instrument's operation algorithm completely eliminates the possibility of reloading, which can not not be reflected positively on the "health" of the AKB. To correctly activate this mode enough:

• Connect the clamps to the battery terminals by observing polarity.
• Turn on the plug into the power outlet of the electrical voltage.

Thus, there are enough 2 steps to start work in automatic mode. After the end of the charging cycle, it will reduce the power supply to the lowest possible value, and the LED will flash on additional informing about the completion of the process.

In pre-mode

In a situation where the battery was not fully discharged, but scrolling the number of revolutions sufficient to start the engine is not possible, you can perform express recharging using this instrument. In order to activate the charger of the charger Cedar Auto 10a, you must:

• Connect clips to battery terminals by observing polarity.
• Turn on the device to the network.
• Press the mode switch 2 times.

After activating the preload mode, the red indicator on the front panel will burn continuously for 5 minutes, while the current strength on the battery terminals will increase to 10 A. this is usually enough to significantly restore the capacity of the automotive battery. At the end of the premise mode, the device will automatically be transferred to automatic operation.

In cycle mode

Cedar Charger Auto 10A has a cyclic charging mode, which allows you to restore batteries that have been subjected to deep discharges. As a rule, in this case, sulfates are formed on the surface of the plates, which impede the normal flow of the chemical reaction during the standard charging of the battery.

To activate the cyclic mode, it is also necessary to connect the battery to the memory, as described above, but after turning on the automatic mode, immediately press the button on the right of the ammeter. On activation of the operation of the device with interrupted inclusion, it is possible to judge the alternately tagging and extinguishing LED of the red.

Overview of the charger for the Kedar series car battery

Any car owner should have a charger in its arsenal for a car battery 12 V. without it when operating the car just can not do. If you are a novice car enthusiast and have not yet bought a memory for a battery, then you must come to this. This is especially important in winter when charging the battery needs more often than usual. Otherwise, you can be in the car with a "dead" battery and will have to "dent." You can, of course, charge the battery to a hundred. But this extra expenses and lost time. It is easier to charge the battery in the garage or at home. You just need to choose the charger correctly. In this article we will talk about the chargers for the Kedr automotive battery. Consider different models and read what people say in reviews.

"Kedr-M"

This charger (memory) is intended for charging automotive batteries. And the device is designed to restore the performance of the batteries, which they have lost due to oxidation and sulfate electrodes. In addition, the memory can be used to train a charge-discharge to increase the service life.

The main features of the device:

• Disable charging process in automatic mode;
• There is a cyclic mode of operation (discharge) to restore the lost container as a result of plate sulfate;
• Protection against improper connection of clips to currents and short-circuit;

Note! Issue "Kedr-M" voltage that is dangerous for life. Always before repairing and changing the fuse, turn off the device. It is strictly forbidden to use homemade fuses and close the holes in the housing provided for ventilation. In addition, it is forbidden to charge the battery closer than one meter to heating devices, furnaces, etc.

The table below shows the main parameters of the Kedr-M device.

In order to prepare the "cedar-M" to work, open the rear compartment and get the cords with terminals. The first toggle switch is in charge mode, and the second choose a continuous or cyclic mode. Continuous recommended when you need to charge acb. Cyclic mode is used for desullfation or molding of electrodes. At the same time, it is necessary to connect a light bulb at 12 volts with a power of 6 watts to the outputs. Next, in compliance with polarity, connect terminals to currents.

Here it is worth noting that the "Kedr-M" has protection against the CZ and the wrong connection. The device will only work if the terminals are connected to the battery with a voltage of 10 volts. That is, he will not charge a deeply discharged battery, going into defense.

In the process of the charger, you can switch modes without turning off the device from a 220 volt network. If the battery is discharged, then first charging current will be 4 amps, and then it will be constantly decreased. After the battery is fully charged, the memory will turn off and will flash the LED indicating the end of the process. After that, you can install "cedar-M" into the dosage mode.

In cyclic mode, the battery is charged approximately 45 seconds, and then discharged by a connected light bulb. In this mode, there is no automatic shutdown and the process must be monitored independently.

Below you can see two options for the charting device for automotive batteries "Kedr-M".

The table below serves the designation of items on the concept.
