Abstract

This Standard specifies requirements for battery chargers for domestic or similar use for charging valve-regulated lead-acid batteries used in cyclic applications, e.g. golf buggies and prawning lights. These chargers may be left connected to a battery for extended periods without damage to the battery. This Standard does not apply to battery chargers— (a) having an input rating greater than 2.5 kVA; (b) used for float charging; (c) embodied in appliances and not provided with an accessible outlet; and (d) intended to recharge a battery within 16 hrs. NOTES: 1 AS 4044 specifies requirements for the charging of float-type stationary batteries. 2 Battery chargers complying with this Standard may also be suitable for charging vented lead-acid batteries used for cyclic applications. 3 Battery chargers complying with this Standard are not suitable for charging batteries for an extended time with a parallel connected load. 4 Appendix A provides guidance on charger selection. 5 AS 3696.14 specifies requirements for battery chargers supplied with wheelchairs.
