HIGH FREQUENCY OPPORTUNITY cHARGER
The Ferro Magnetics high frequency multi-volt charger is extremely flexible in application giving the user a greater range of batteries to charge than typical opportunity chargers. Batteries equipped with a Tobi PI Wi-z will receive a customized charge algorithm for battery voltage, size and chemistry, allowing the user to take advantage of the full-rated DC amps when required. The multi-volt will automatically detect battery voltage on batteries not equipped with a Tobi PI and deliver a safe, efficient charge to the battery finishing with DvDt/DiDt. Select the Charger for the battery voltages intended to charge, 24v & 36v (OHFMV18) or 24v, 36v & 48v (OHFMV24). Then select the max DC amp power required for the application. BATTERY CELLS

BATTERY SAFETY
LOW COST OPERATION The Ferro Multi-Volt utilizes the latest in high frequency charging technology resulting in the highest efficiency available today. High energy efficiency = lower operating costs.
PERFECT CHARGE EVERY TIME Ferro Magnetics has long been recognized for advanced charger controls that deliver and hold precise charge algorithms. Battery and charger interaction throughout the charge cycle ensure a perfect charge to the battery every time. The Ferro Multi-Volt will hold the finish rate to +/–1% even with an AC line variation of +6%/–10%.
EQUALIZE Every Ferro Magnetics charger is designed with an automatic equalize cycle built in to help maintain the health of your batteries. You can manually equalize any time you desire with the push of a button on the control.
EXTENDED BATTERY LIFE The Ferro Multi-Volt high frequency charger produces a low AC ripple to the battery which provides a cooler charge than traditional charging methods. Less heating means longer battery life.
EASY TO USE CONTROL WITH REAL TIME CLOCK The Ferro 272 control with advanced circuitry includes a real time clock for day of week and time of day settings. Take advantage of lower utility rates with "time of day" or "delayed" charging and/or block-out charging during peak demand times.
FLEXIBILITY The controlled output of the Ferro Multi-Volt allows you to charge a full range of battery chemistries: Flooded lead acid, Gel, Sealed, Li, NiCad, VRLA. The 272 control comes preloaded with 22 charge algorithms.
FAN COOLED High performance, long life fans are mounted to keep the PCB cool without depositing airborne debris on the components. The high-quality fans operate at an extremely quiet level.
The 272 control continuously monitors the battery condition throughout the charge cycle. Output to the battery is based on the battery’s needs. If key checkpoints are not attained during the charge, the 272 will either adjust output or terminate the charge and display the condition to protect the battery.
CASE DESIGN The case is designed specifically for high frequency charging. Strong, yet lightweight. The single circuit cases can be stacked three high.
Proudly designed, tested and manufactured 100% in Saint Louis, Missouri.
