Charger Control Board Replacements

 

Over or under charging due to faulty control boards are a common problem which can cause damage and shorten the life of your batteries. Control boards should be checked and recalibrated where possible, at least once per year. Problems such as early shutdown and overcharging should be addressed promptly. Many older chargers can be upgraded, economically, with Digicon control boards. These solid state control boards feature voltage sensor operation with 3 back up timer fail safes and automatic equalization feature. Batteries require proper daily charges as well as equalization cycles to insure optimum efficiency and longevity.
