INTRODUCTION AND SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Congratulations! You now own the finest battery Charger-Analyzer available today. The
Supercharger is a precision instrument designed to charge and analyze NICKEL-CADMIUM,
LEAD-ACID and other rechargeable batteries exactly as recommended by the battery
manufacturers.
The simple to set controls plus the condensed operating procedure found on the front panel
makes the Supercharger a very easy to operate CHARGER/ANALYZER, which combined with
easy to read CURRENT, VOLTAGE, TIME and STATUS indicators, makes it also a very
simple unit to monitor.
The Supercharger is also designed for speed, for it can charge two batteries, (actually, any
number of batteries where the total number of cells is 50 or less), at maximum currents, and it
can also discharge two batteries at reduced currents, or one battery (25 cells or less) at
maximum current.
The Supercharger also provides a Voltage Control enhancement that allows the Charger-
Analyzer, originally designed for Constant Current operation on Nickel-Cadmium batteries to
also be able to handle Lead-Acid and other type of rechargeable batteries, where the end
voltage is a more reliable indicator of the state of charge (as opposed to Nickel-Cadmium
batteries).
Dependability is another great plus of the Supercharger. 100% SOLID STATE circuitry
requires no scheduled maintenance. No relay contacts to inspect and clean. No high current
carrying contacts to arc and burn. A simple performance verification procedure is all it takes to
determine if the instrument requires re-calibration or repair.
This instrument is also protected against certain internal performance deviations and
programming errors, plus it is also designed to sense certain battery abnormalities to protect the
instrument and battery from possible damage. In the event that any malfunction takes place,
VISUAL and AUDIBLE indicators will turn on, alerting the operator and preventing any
further operation of the unit.
The Supercharger Battery Charger-Analyzer System is comprised of the Charger-Analyzer, the
Temp-plate, the Battery Cable and several accessories.

The Supercharger Battery Charger-Analyzer System is comprised of the Charger-Analyzer, the
Temp-plate, the Battery Cable and several accessories.
The Charger-Analyzer is basically a precision programmable constant current source (for
charge) and a programmable constant current sink (for discharge) combined with voltage and
temperature sensing circuits for total battery monitoring.
The specially designed circuitry provides a performance not achieved by any of the older
conventional battery charging methods. The Supercharger will deliver current into a short
circuit or a battery or combination of batteries totaling 50 cells, within ±1% of the programmed
value, independent of line voltage variations (within ±10% of the nominal line voltage).
The control circuitry of the Charger-Analyzer consists of a CONTROL SWITCH, a CLOCK, a
TIMER, a CURRENT CONTROL, a SYSTEM MONITOR, a POWER REGULATOR and a
VOLTAGE CONTROL CIRCUIT. See

The CONTROL SWITCH receives the function commands from the function selector switch
on the front panel and outputs control signals to the rest of the circuit boards as well as to the
charge SCR'S and discharge transistors.
