Charger Orion Pennant 50

Correct and timely recharging of the battery is the key to a long and trouble-free operation. To perform this procedure, taking into account the parameters recommended by the manufacturer, it is necessary to purchase a high-quality charger. The Vympel 50 charger is a universal high-quality device, so it will last a very long time if used correctly.

Device Overview

The Orion Pennant 50 charger consists of the following control and adjustment elements:

• Led indicator.
• Power switch.
• Control and navigation buttons.

The LED indicator allows real-time information about current strength and voltage. Using the network switches, the device is started, and the buttons are used to adjust the electrical parameters. The Pennant 50 charger has a plastic case with holes for ventilation, as well as wires with special clamps.

In addition to a high degree of reliability, such a device has a small weight and a cavity in the back, which can be used to accommodate a power cord and contact wires.

Technical characteristics of the device Pennant 50

Before connecting the charger to the battery, you need to make sure that its parameters and technical specifications are fully consistent with the charging battery voltage. If you use a regular car battery for 12 V, then the use of the Vympel 50 charger is fully justified, because this device has the following characteristics:

Due to the ability to adjust the current strength, the Pennant 50 can be used to charge batteries of various capacities.

Features of the device and for which battery is intended

High power indicators of a small-sized device are achieved through the use of a pulsed high-frequency voltage converter. Thanks to this feature, it is possible not only to reduce the weight and size of the device, but also to significantly increase its efficiency.

The design of the device has a fan, which effectively reduces the temperature of the electronic unit of the charger with a stream of air. Due to the presence of forced cooling, even when charging cargo batteries, the device does not overheat.

Given the high resistance to heavy loads Pennant 50 can be used to charge batteries of any capacity. The main rule when using such a device is not to supply too much current to the terminals of small-capacity batteries. The recommended maximum value of this parameter should not exceed 10% of the total battery capacity.

In addition to car batteries, Vympel 50 can charge the following types:

• 6 volt battery;
• Acidic;
• Alkaline;
• Calcium
• AGM and EFB;
• Sealed.

Regardless of the type of battery, the Pennant Vympel 50 allows charging both in automatic mode and in the mode of monitoring the output current parameters.

In addition to recharging batteries, the Pennant 50 can also be used as a direct current source. Due to the wide range of variable voltage, the product can be connected to various low-voltage devices and devices.

How to charge a battery using a pennant 50

Thanks to the buttons on the front panel, you can easily switch the operation of the Pennant 50 charger to the most suitable mode for charging the battery. This device can work in automatic or adjustable modes.

The algorithm of actions when using different modes is not too different, but during the initial setup of the device it will be necessary, in any case, to establish the necessary parameters of the electric current.

In automatic mode

In order to charge the battery in automatic mode, you will need to pre-configure the charger. To do this, follow these steps:

• Turn on the memory in the network.
• In the settings, use the buttons on the front panel to select a profile.
• Then choose a charge algorithm.
• Set the voltage recommended by the battery manufacturer.
• Set current.
• Disconnect the memory from the network.

The tuned device is connected to the battery in the following sequence:

1. Connect the clamp with the red insulator to the positive terminal.
2. Connect the clamp with the black insulator to the negative terminal.
3. Connect the device to the network.

After about 50 seconds, the device will automatically begin to supply an electric current with predefined characteristics to the battery terminals.

In non-automatic mode

To charge the battery in non-automatic mode, the device must also be pre-configured. Unlike the automatic way to restore the battery, this procedure will differ only in choosing more voltage than recommended by the battery manufacturer. The connection of the clamps to the battery terminals should also be made with the device turned off, and the polarity must be observed.

If the battery is not charged in automatic mode, you will need to constantly monitor this process, otherwise, with prolonged recharging, internal battery plates may be damaged.

I bought Pennant 2 years ago. For all time, several times the contacts were short-circuited by negligence. Thanks to the built-in protection, the device is simply indestructible.

If you do everything according to the instructions, then the device will probably last more than 10 years. I bought the Pennant 50 about a year ago, during which time the memory never failed.

Very high quality and relatively inexpensive device for charging a car battery. I managed to get a new Vympel 50 for just 2,990 rubles.
