Fairchild/Dornier C-26 Metroliner: BatteryMINDer Battery Chargers

BatteryMINDers® are capable of charging all sizes, types, and brands of lead-acid batteries, including engine-starting, deep-cycle, sealed, gelled, AGM, and maintenance-free varieties.

Yes! The BatteryMINDer’s active desulfation circuitry prevents and eliminates lead plate sulfation, the leading cause of battery failure.

BatteryMINDers® are “smart” chargers. As soon as they are connected, they start charging. They never shut off. Instead, they take readings from your battery and increase or decrease output to supply exactly enough power to maintain your battery with no risk of overcharging or undercharging.

You can leave the BatteryMINDer® hooked up to a battery indefinitely as long as it is plugged in. It will never overcharge or damage your battery.

Yes! You can charge up to four batteries of similar type and condition with many BatteryMINDer® models. Some BatteryMINDer® models can charge up to six batteries of different types and conditions.

Nothing! The BatteryMINDer's built-in polarity protection will detect the problem and prevent any damage. Simply reconnect the output to the correct terminals.

Any time your battery is subject to extreme conditions, you should use a temperature-compensated BatteryMINDer®.

The chemical reactions that occur within batteries can vary with temperature. These variations cause a battery charged or maintained at standard voltages to be undercharged if cold and overcharged if hot.

BatteryMINDers® with temperature compensation precisely adjust battery voltage based on temperature sensor readings. This ensures that your battery will always be appropriately charged and maintained no matter what conditions it is subject to.

Thermal runaway is a dangerous chain reaction that occurs when a battery cell experiences a rapid and uncontrolled increase in temperature. This temperature rise can cause a feedback loop, where the heat triggers further chemical reactions within the battery, releasing even more heat. This cycle continues until the battery ruptures, vents flammable electrolytes, and potentially explodes or catches fire.

All BatteryMINDer® products have a built-in early-detection system that automatically prevents thermal runaway from occurring.

To prevent short circuits, BatteryMINDers® will only output voltage when connected to a battery. Connect your BatteryMINDer® per instructions and then take a voltage reading.

Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure proper fluid levels before charging your battery. BatteryMINDers® are engineered to prevent “boil off” due to overcharging, the leading cause of water loss.

All BatteryMINDer® products are warranted against defective materials or workmanship for five years from the date of purchase at retail.
