The battery chargers from Trotec’s PBCS series offer you the right charger for every type of vehicle. The portable battery charger PBCS 2A with a charging current of 2 amperes and LED display is a microprocessor-controlled all-round charger with six charging cycles, trickle charge function and winter charging mode for 12 V car, motorcycle and motor scooter batteries between 4 Ah and 60 Ah. Both non-maintenance-free and maintenance-free 12 V batteries are supported, including wet batteries like lead acid, Ca/Ca and EFB batteries as well as gel and AGM batteries. Adapted to technically advanced and powerful batteries of modern vehicles, the charger offers you a comprehensive range of technical protective and maintenance mechanisms and ensures quick, gentle charging, thus attaining a long battery lifetime at full performance.

Protection against deep discharge, battery damage and battery-related breakdowns

If you drive a convertible with a seasonal license plate, a classic or vintage car or a motorised two-wheeler, you’ll be familiar with this problem: Low temperatures in the winter, rare use, short distance rides and age affect the battery and impair its performance. A lack of maintenance and care considerably decreases the battery’s service life. And this may well be the reason why your car refuses to start from one day to the next.

A problem that is not only time-consuming but also cost-intensive. Especially if a battery replacement is the only way to get your vehicle going again. Although battery technology is already very advanced nowadays, deeply discharged car batteries remain the most common cause of breakdowns – and there’s not always a neighbour with a jumper cable on the spot. With the trickle charge mode, the PBCS 2A protects the battery from deep discharge and maintains it at a constantly ideal charging level.

For reliable charging, maintenance and care of common 12 V batteries

The easy-to-handle PBCS 2A features the following three charging modes:

Standard charging mode

The standard charging mode with multi-state charging cycle is suitable for completely charging partially discharged lead acid, AGM and gel type 12 V batteries. The cyclically optimised charging process increases the battery’s service life.

Trickle charging mode

The trickle charge mode serves to permanently and reliably compensate for the battery’s self-discharge. The maximum charging capacity is maintained constantly without damaging the battery by excessive charging. Ideally suited to prevent deep discharge of the batteries of rarely used vehicles like vintage cars or convertibles with seasonal licence plates.

Winter charging mode

Modern batteries are extremely temperature-sensitive. When the ambient temperature drops below 5 °C, the chemical processes in a lead acid battery slow down. Then the winter charging mode is perfect for quickly charging 12 V batteries in cold environments (-20 °C to +5 °C) with an increased charging end voltage.
