PROLUX 12V 500mA 230V CHARGER (FOR FT12V7 LEAD ACID BATT) EU PLUG

The Prolux 12V 500mA Charger (Part No: PX2129E) is a specialized AC wall charger tailored for the European market. It is designed specifically to maintain and recharge 12V Lead-Acid (SLA) or Gel-Cell batteries, commonly used to power RC field boxes, starter boxes, and 12V flight line equipment. The "E" designation confirms it comes equipped with a Type C (Europlug).

Key Features:

• European Standard Plug: Features the integrated 2-pin EU plug, making it ready for use in most European countries without the need for an adapter.
• Optimized for 7Ah Batteries: The 500mA output is the "sweet spot" for charging the standard FT12V7 (7Ah) lead-acid battery, providing a gentle charge that prevents plate sulfation and extends battery life.
• Simple "Plug-and-Play" Operation: No complex menus or settings; once connected to the battery and wall, the charging process begins automatically.
• Durable Alligator Clips: Equipped with insulated, color-coded clips for a secure connection to standard spade or nut-and-bolt battery terminals.
• Safe Charging Profile: Designed for long-duration charging, which is often more effective for Lead-Acid chemistry than high-amperage "fast" chargers.

Charging Guidelines:

Lead-acid batteries prefer to be stored fully charged. Pro-Tip: To avoid damaging your battery, never leave it in a discharged state for more than a few days. Since this charger does not have a "smart" automatic cutoff, you should manually disconnect it once the battery reaches approximately 13.8V to 14.4V. For a completely flat 7Ah battery, a 14 to 16-hour charge cycle is usually sufficient.

Safety Note: Only use this charger for Lead-Acid batteries. Attempting to charge LiPo, NiMH, or LiFe batteries with this unit can result in fire or permanent damage to the battery.
