Aviation-Specific Solar Models Provide Cordless Maintenance for all 12-Volt GA batteries
NEW!!Models
SCC005-S1 and
SCC015-S1.
Preventing GA batteries from dying, when you can’t keep them on a plug-in maintenance charger,
is no longer a problem. The BatteryMINDer® Aviation-Specific Solar Controller-Chargers deliver
a safe maintenance charge to sealed or wet (filler cap) 12-Volt batteries. The units can be
left connected to a battery without fear of overcharge.
These solar versions of the highly recommended Aviation-Specific BatteryMINDers* deliver the same charge
and maintenance outputs as the plug-in except at lower current. With its “at-the-battery” temperature sensor,
it is guaranteed never to over-charge aviation specific 12-V batteries such as those made by Concorde and Gill.
By providing
each of these BatteryMINDer units with an “At-the-Battery” temperature compensating sensor, batteries can be
safely charged and maintained for extended periods in temperature extremes from 32°F to 125°F. Without this type
temperature sensing, batteries will be under-charged in colder temperatures (<70°F to 32°F) and over-charged in
high temperatures (>80°F to 125°F).
All models include full-time pulsed
de-sulfation circuitry designed to safely dissolve sulfation build-up on the battery’s storage plates, restoring
lost cranking power and extending life. Our de-sulfation method is fully automatic, does not use potentially
damaging high voltage and is exclusively protected by two U.S. patents. These units were designed in close
consultation with the major U.S. manufacturers of FAA Certified Aviation Specific batteries, both sealed
AGM and flooded (wet cell) types.
Why Aviation Specific chargers? Are aviation batteries different from automotive – marine types?
Aviation-specific lead-acid batteries, such as those made by Concorde, Gill and Odyssey utilize different
components most notably the electrolyte mix (sulfuric acid + H2O). They do this to maximize the battery’s
cranking power (amps) in order to minimize its size and weight. This and other differences change the
charging requirements, dictating lower charge-maintenance voltages and the length of time needed in each
of the three charging stages to ensure a full, 100% charge.
Using an aviation-specific charger on non-aviation type batteries
will cause serious undercharge, dramatically shortening the battery’s
life and performance.

BatteryMINDer® Solar Charger Controller Desulfator 12 Volt with 5 Watt Panel (AV-ADJ)
Charger-Maintainer-Conditioner (Desulfator)
Don’t just charge your batteries…Condition them!
VDC Electronics now has available Aviation Specific Solar version
of its 12-V Maintenance Charger - De-Sulfator - Conditioners with 5
Watt panel. Designated as the 12-V model SCC005-S1 (Aviation Specific)
is safe to use on all type and size Aviation Specific batteries,
including both sealed and wet-cell constructions. The voltage settings
and charge rates (both user selectable) have been chosen, after
conferring with leading aviation battery makers in the U.S. By providing
each of these BatteryMINDer units with an "At-the-Battery" temperature
compensating sensor, batteries can be safely charged and maintained for
extended periods in temperature extremes from 32°F to 125°F. Without
this type temperature sensing, batteries will be under-charged in colder
temperatures (<70°F to 32°F) and over-charged in high temperatures
(>80°F to 125°F).
The model include full-time pulsed de-sulfation circuitry
designed to safely dissolve sulfation build-up on the battery's storage
plates, restoring lost cranking power and extending life. Our
de-sulfation method is fully automatic, does not use potentially
damaging high voltage and is exclusively protected by two U.S. patents.
Presently only a small number of VDC dealers carry these -S1 models. We
suggest calling us directly for those who do, at (800) 379-5579 Ext. 201
or 208 (ET, M-F, 9-6) or contacting Customer service at
customersupport@vdcelectronics.com.
We guarantee to
significantly increase both your battery's life and performance or we
will refund 100% of your money within one (1) full year. This is in
addition to our five (5) year "no hassle" warranty.
