XS Power

The proper charging of any battery is critical to its service life. On the one extreme, a battery could be left in a discharged or partially discharged state and suffer irreversible sulfation damage, which would reduce its life and output. The other extreme is an overcharged battery, which can ruin it permanently. How do you strike the balance between the two? The basic principle for charging batteries is to restore the power removed from the battery, without overcharging.

There are two basic technologies available for lead acid battery charging including a "hybrid" mix. The most economical technology is the transformer type charger that is not voltage regulated. It simply transforms 110VAC down to 12VAC and then rectifies it to DC. This type of charger is dangerous to leave on a battery unattended, as it is sure to overcharge the battery. This is your typical £30 charger at the local motor factors.

A "hybrid" is a charger that uses the transformer/rectifier arrangement but adds a timer to the system. This type of charger will automatically trip a timer at a preset voltage level and shut off at a preset time limit, charged or not fully charged. This "hybrid" technique is used in many 12V and 16V performance chargers.

The high-end battery chargers such as the XS Power IntelliCHARGER use the same techniques that are used by battery factories for initial charging. This is called three-stage or "constant current/constant voltage" charging. This type of charging requires microprocessors to monitor, adjust, and regulate the output of the charger based on the state of the battery. Three-stage chargers contain the most technology and are generally twice as fast as conventional charging. In addition, a three-stage charger will cause the batteries to last much longer because the charger itself will always bring the battery to 100% state of charge and yet prevent overcharging.

How does the IntelliCHARGER work?

In CC/CV charging the first mode, also known as "bulk" charging, proceeds at a fixed amperage regardless of the battery's state. The charger monitors the voltage per cell and when a user-selected level is met, the charger moves to the second mood, which is constant voltage. IntelliCHARGER's have switches on the front panel to allow the end user to select a monitored voltage. It is important that the battery type and what is set on the switch match.

In constant-voltage mode or "absorption" charging, the voltage is locked and the amperage is allowed to float down. Patented algorithms are employed to equalize all the battery cells during the absorption-charging phase.

Lastly, the third phase is called "float" charging. Float mode drops the voltage output to a level that will safely maintain the battery indefinitely.

CC/CV chargers are definitely the way to go for racing environments as they safely charge and maintain batteries for the longest possible life. Performing quickly at the track, maintaining batteries in storage, and fully automatic at doing both jobs, XS Power IntelliCHARGER'S do it all.

Why use a step-down box over a 3-Post Battery?

The design of the three-post battery consists of eight cells with one negative terminal, a positive 12V terminal on the 6th cell, and a positive 16V terminal on the 8th cell.

The problem with this method comes with charging the battery. Since the usage is never balanced (meaning the exact same drain on the 12V post as on the 16V post), charging can never be balanced. One side or the other is either going to be undercharged (and therefore less effective), or overcharged (damaging and reducing the life of the battery).

Therefore, after extensive research, it is our opinion that a step down module used with a true 16V battery is more effective in mixed voltage situations where sensitive 12V components are needed or used
