DEFA workshop chargersPowerful workshop charger

.
Conserves the battery and supplies consumers during work such as software updates, diagnostics, battery replacement or ECU programming.
Our recommendation for charging starter batteries in the automotive workshop.

Features

  • Perfect for updates and other power-consuming work.

    This charger protects the vehicle's electronics during battery changes and power-consuming activities such as software updates. It can also recondition deeply discharged batteries.

    Your advantage: Customer electronics settings are retained and charging times are shortened or even eliminated.

  • Practical and uncomplicated

    Thanks to its compact design, detachable cables and clever mountings, the charger can be easily attached in almost any work situation. In addition, the device is protected against dust udn Eidnringen of foreign objects.

    Your advantage: Powerful function without distracting from your work.

  • Versatile

    Thanks to the intelligent technology, all lead-acid batteries used in the automotive sector and, with the DEFA Workshop 35A 2.0, also lithium batteries are charged safely and reliably.

    Your advantage: Charge all vehicles in your workshop with one type of charger.

Characteristics

  • User-friendly and fully automatic high-frequency charger.
  • 7-phase charger with permanent trickle charge as well as analysis before and after charging and reactivation mode for deeply discharged batteries.
  • Suitable for flooded 12-volt starter batteries including calcium batteries also with 14.7-volt charge voltage, for sealed AGM, GEL, MF and SLA batteries and also for start-stop batteries, both Enhanced Flooded Batteries (EFB) and AGM batteries.
  • DEFA Workshop 35A 2.0 also suitable for lithium batteries.
  • Protection against reverse polarity, contact spark and short circuit. With galvanic isolation and temperature-compensated charging.
  • DEFA Workshop 35A 2.0 also protected against ingress of foreign bodies > 1mm (IP40).
  • Supplies connected loads with 13.7 volts thanks to power supply function.
  • Rubberised hook for attachment to the bonnet, workstation or workshop trolley. Wall bracket for storing the charger with practical cable holder.
  • DEFA-WS-35 with detachable 5 m cable.
  • Charging status can be read off via LED. Error indication via flashing light.

Charger Knowledge

AGM or GEL drive batteries
Drive batteries in AGM or GEL technology are sealed, absolutely maintenance-free, leak-proof batteries in a closed design with a fixed electrolyte (in fleece or gel). Both are suitable for medium to heavy cyclic use, for example in cleaning machines, …
Safety instructions for handling acid
Battery acid consists partly of sulphuric acid, which is highly corrosive. It attacks your skin, textiles and even metal. Put on protective clothing! So always wear gloves, safety glasses and possibly an acid-proof apron when handling batteries. Choose …
What does that even mean? Charging curve?
Current and voltage during charging can be measured and displayed as a curve over the course of the charging time. Depending on which processes, controls by switch-off (a) or switch-over points (0) are possible with a charger, one speaks of the provided charging characteristics.
Cleanliness pays off
To ensure proper battery function, it makes sense to keep the battery surface clean and dry. Greasy or silicone-containing dirt on the lid can hinder the flow of current. Moisture on the battery can cause a short circuit in the worst case.
Chargers in a workshop
Especially for workshops, there is another charger that supplies the vehicle with power during diagnoses and software updates on the vehicle electronics. During this phase, the vehicle management system requires a particularly large amount of power and …
Transformer charger versus high-frequency charger
Transformer chargers with a downstream rectifier are relatively inexpensive, but they are large, heavy and less efficient than high-frequency chargers. They allow 1- to 3-step charging methods based on the W-characteristic (W, Wa, WaPuls, W0Wa, WU, WUWa …
Why is the charging voltage of the charger important?
In principle, when charging, the electrons within the battery move from one electrode to the other, in the opposite direction to when they draw current, i.e. discharge. If a discharged battery is provided with too high a voltage from the current or voltage …
Charging the vehicle battery now and then
User chargers or consumer chargers are particularly easy to use and easy to maintain. They allow quick charging in between or when the battery is stored for a longer period of time before it is used again, e.g. a starter battery in a classic car that …
Which charger for which battery type?
The most important distinction is that sealed batteries and especially lithium batteries can react extremely to the heat and overpressure during overcharging. A reliable cut-off is particularly important here. Modern fully automatic electronic chargers …
When is a multi-voltage charger worthwhile?
Electronic chargers can support different voltages. Depending on whether you only want to charge a car starter battery or also a scooter, motorhome supply battery or drive battery for small vehicles or industrial trucks, it may be worth reaching for a …
