Model: CE-BC 4 M

1. Taw qhia thiab khoom tshajview

The Einhell CE-BC 4 M smart battery charger is designed for modern, high-performance vehicle batteries. This intelligent charger, controlled by a microprocessor, is suitable for various types of vehicle batteries and incorporates a range of technical protection and maintenance mechanisms. The primary objective of its design is to charge batteries quickly and gently, ensuring the longest possible service life at full power. Its operation is simplified by a detailed charge indicator, offering a more user-friendly experience than traditional devices.

This versatile Einhell product is compatible with gel, AGM, and both maintenance-free and low-maintenance lead-acid batteries. The CE-BC 4M automatically adapts to 12V vehicle battery voltage. Multi-stage charging cycle is automatically monitored and adjusted by the microprocessor control. Intelligent control electronics analyze the type and condition of the connected battery, then initiate the optimal charging mode as needed. The trickle charge function protects and maintains the battery at an ideal charge state continuously.

Consequently, the CE-BC 4 M is suitable for all types of vehicles, including seasonal vehicles with long periods of inactivity. Instead of slowly discharging completely and risking deep discharge, the battery is maintained at its optimal level through trickle charging. This process relieves battery cells and extends their lifespan, preventing costly and avoidable replacement of a faulty vehicle battery. Cars, motorcycles, or scooters are immediately ready for use at the start of the season.

A dedicated winter charging mode is available for outdoor temperatures below 5°C. Additionally, the device features a reconditioning mode that can revitalize deeply discharged batteries and a power supply mode for use as a power source. Automatic protection against overcharge, short circuits, and reverse polarity safeguards both the charger and the battery. The Einhell battery charger complies with IP 65 protection class, making it dustproof and resistant to water jets. The LCD display shows battery voltage and charge progress, providing an immediate overview of the battery's charge status and the active charging mode. The device offers four charging levels and supports 12V battery connections. The display also indicates incorrect clamp connections, alerting the user immediately to any issues. Thanks to fully insulated battery terminals, the Einhell battery charger connects easily and safely. The housing includes a hanging eyelet for wall mounting.
