WHAT MAKES TECHNOCRAT IT BATTERY BUFF SO IMPORTANT:

Despite all the technical automations put into Technocrat IT Battery buff, we shall analyze just one of the many to show the greatness in the product design:

Most inverters, UPS, boat charger, alternators e.t.c charge any battery connected to them.
However, Charging mechanism of most Charging systems are generic, and since they do not know which battery would be connected they charge very well assuming the batteries are standard batteries. (Without a battery type selector, the manufacturer has to assume standard batteries to avoid overcharging that can damage or explode batteries.).

However, different types of batteries have their uniqueness and require distinct charging methods. This can best be understood by their full charge stage voltages. (Only measure full charge cvoltage after the battery has been off-load/idle for over 3 hours and open circuit.).

DEEP CYCLE BATTERIES ARE VERY DIFFERENT FROM REGULAR BATTERIES:

Comparison of Battery State-of-Chart to Open Circuit Voltage for 12-Volt DEEP CYCLE Batteries
% Charge	FLA	Gel	AGM
100	12.70-12.60	12.95-12.85	12.90-12.80
75	12.40	12.65	12.60
50	12.20	12.35	12.30
25	12.00	12.00	12.00
0	11.80	11.80	11.80

 

STANDARD BATTERIES:

State of Charge	12 Volt battery	Volts per Cell
100%	12.7	2.12
90%	12.5	2.08
80%	12.42	2.07
70%	12.32	2.05
60%	12.20	2.03
50%	12.06	2.01
40%	11.9	1.98
30%	11.75	1.96
20%	11.58	1.93
10%	11.31	1.89
0	10.5	1.75

NOTICE: When a standard battery is 12.00 Volt, it is still 60% charged, while a deep cycle at 12Volt is only 25% charged.

Even for deep cycles, 12.6Volts of AGM is 75% charged, while the same voltage for flooded is 100%.

What this means is that Technocrat IT Automatic Battery buff will ensure your batteries are always 100% charged (with No-Overcharge) while the normal chargers or those that come with the Inverters, UPS e.t.c. or any other charging system would only keep your batteries between 50-75% charged. In the short term, this affects how long your battery will last before being fully discharged by a factor of 2 to 5 times. In the long term, this alone makes Technocrat ITbattery Buff extend battery life by upto 5 times more both short term and long term.
