Microprocessor-Controlled Battery Charger 6/12 V, 15 A, 8-Stage SMART Charging, Wuber Tools

Quick Facts — W14017 Battery charger

• Model: W14017
• EAN: 5905873305816
• Type: Microprocessor-controlled battery charger
• Battery voltage: 6 / 12 V
• Charging current: 0-15 A
• Battery capacity: 6-200 Ah
• Operating mode: 8-stage SMART charging

Microprocessor-controlled battery charger for 6 V and 12 V batteries with a charging current of up to 15 A, intended for batteries of 6-200 Ah. The Wuber Tools W14017 reads the battery condition and selects the charging profile in an 8-stage SMART cycle.

The charger handles VRLA, WET, GEL, EFB and AGM batteries, including heavily used batteries from vehicles with a start/stop system. Efficiency is 98 %, and a fan cools the charger during operation.

The repair mode is for old, unused, delaminated or sulphated batteries, and the fast charging mode skips unnecessary charging stages.

When does battery charger W14017 make the most sense?

Battery charger W14017 makes the most sense when batteries of different chemistry and voltage are to be charged with one charger. It detects 12 V batteries within 8-15 V and 6 V batteries within 2-7.5 V and charges accordingly.

The charging current of 0-15 A suits both small batteries from 6 Ah and large batteries up to 200 Ah. The operating temperature is -30 °C / +50 °C, so the charger can be used in cold workshops and garages.

Applications for battery charger W14017

Battery charger W14017 is used for charging and restoring starter batteries and other lead-acid batteries, including in these cases:

• Charging VRLA, WET, GEL, EFB and AGM batteries.
• Charging batteries from vehicles with a start/stop system.
• Restoring old, unused, delaminated or sulphated batteries in the repair mode.
• Fast charging where unnecessary charging stages are skipped.
