The YCP06A12 is an intelligent Battery Charger designed to deliver exactly the right amount of charge automatically every time. Prevents damage to the charger if the DC output is short circuited. Visual indication is by alternate flashing red and green indicators. If the internal case temperature rises to an unusually high level then the system will shut down. When the temperature has settled to a safe level the full charge current will be available. The visual warning for high temperature is by simultaneous flashing red and green indicators. On power-up the system will enter a soft-start mode. This means that the charges current will build-up slowly. During this time the charger will scan intensely for possible faults i.e. reverse battery, short-circuit. Compensates for self discharge to hold the battery at peak charge ready for use. The battery can be left on charge until required, there will be no overcharging.
