BC Bravo 1500 is the most complete and effective solution for users which need a single product for the maintenance of both car and motorcycle batteries, featuring an LCD display, digital voltmeter and dual function of battery charger and tester of the battery and the vehicle's charging system.
BC Bravo 1500 is ideal for the recovery, charge, desulfation, maintainance and analysis of all 12V batteries and it can be left always connected to the battery, with no risk and no need to disconnect the battery from the vehicle, keeping it fully charged during long periods of inactivity (even months). |
|
The battery charger delivers a maximum current of 1.5 Amps and runs a fully automatic 8-cycles charging algorithm, to recover deep discharged batteries (from 1.5 volts) and to recharge, desulphate and maintain all 12V batteries (traditional, gel, sealed...) from 3 to 70 Ah (up to 100 Ah for maintenance).
The automatic testing procedure, guided step-by-step by the instructions on the LCD display, includes an analysis of the battery State of Charge, a battery Cranking Power test and a test of the vehicle's charging system (alternator/regulator). |
|
BC Bravo 1500 does not produce sparks and it is protected against short circuit, reverse polarity, overcharging and overheating.
The package includes a waterproof battery cable with eyelets (code STD2V), which can be left always installed on the vehicle, and a battery cable with insulated clamps (code 30AMPPZ). A universal 12/18 mm adapter (code ACC612V - optional) is available to recharge the battery from the cigarette lighter. The warranty is extended to 3 years.

8 CYCLES CHARGING TECHNOLOGY
BC BRAVO 1500 is a digital battery charger managed by a latest-generation microprocessor, which is in charge of monitoring the battery parameters in real time and to execute a new multi-cycle charging algorithm:
1. Initialization: the device checks if one or more cells are shorted, in order to verify that the battery is in a proper condition to be recharged/recovered.
2. Recovery: if the battery is deep discharged (battery voltage starting from 1.5 V), the device tries to recover it, taking it back to a higher voltage.
3. Soft Charge: if the battery is in a condition of significant undercharge, the device provides a light pulsing current to the battery, to overcome this critical phase.
4. Bulk Charge: the device provides full current to the battery, recovering about 85-90% of the battery capacity.
5. Desulfation / Absorption: the device provides a "controlled overcharge" to recover the remaining 10-15% of the battery capacity, through the desulfation/recovery the lead-acid cells (for low or medium sulfation).
6. Battery Analysis - End Cycle Test: the device stops providing current to the battery for a short time, in order to verify whether the battery is able to retain the charge received. This test is periodically repeated during the Maintenance.
7. Maintenance: the device keeps the battery in the best charge conditions for very long periods (even months) during which your vehicle is left unused, without any possible drawback (battery overcharge, battery overheating, water and/or electrolyte loss, etc).
8. Equalization: every 30 days during long term maintenance, the device executes an equalization charge in order to balance the battery lead-acid cells, avoiding electrolyte stratification within the cells.
SAFETY AND PROTECTIONS
BC BRAVO 1500 features a series of 8 protections and active guard mechanisms that make it easy to install and to use, without any risks even for users without expertise:
No interferences the vehicle's on board electronics (control unit, ABS, GPS...)
Protection from output lines short circuit, even for an indefinite time: no sparks!
Protection from battery polarity inversion
Protection from battery overcharge/overheating
Thermal protection from overtemperature
No need to disconnect the battery from your vehicle
Very few gas development during the charge: no need to remove the battery plugs
Laboratory Tests ensure the manufacturing of products in conformity to the regulations in force on safety and electro-magnetic compatibility. Norms and Regulations: EN55014-1, EN55014-2, EN60335-1, EN60335-2-29, EN61000-3-2, EN61000-3-3.
BATTERY TYPES AND CAPACITY
