I nteliTender 150
The I NTELI Tender Model 150 is a battery charger, designed to charge
lead/acid batteries, with two key characteristics. First, the InteliTender output is
temperature compensated. Since the output of a lead acid battery changes as
temperature changes, it is vital that the output of the battery charger match these
characteristics. Second, the InteliTender is a three state float charger, as required
to properly maintain any lead-acid battery. Note: A float charger without
continuous temperature compensation will damage a battery. The three modes of
operation are:
1. Bulk Charge Mode - Used when the battery
has been discharged. This mode replaces 80% of
the charge to the battery.
2. Absorption Mode - A tapering current, replacing the final 20% of the charge to the
battery.
3. Float Mode - This mode maintains the battery’s electrolyte at the ideal specific gravity
regardless of the temperature of the battery. This weatherproofs the battery, eliminating
freezing and boil-off. It also prevents plate oxidation and sulfation.
The following two graphs illustrate how these functions are accomplished. The Model 150 actually becomes three unique instruments,
depending on the charge stored and the temperature of the battery. The first curve, Figure 1 , shows the current from the Model 150 as
it brings a 20 Amp Hour battery from full discharge to full charge. The second curve, Figure 2 , shows the voltage measured at the
battery’s terminals. Because the Model 150 has versions for several different voltage batteries, the data is given in “Volts per Cell”. To
obtain the battery voltage, multiply the number of cells times the voltage given in Figure 2 . For instance, a twelve volt battery has six
cells, so its Float Voltage would be 6 times 2.35 volts per cell, or 14.05 Volts.
During the first six hours of the charge cycle, the Model 150
supplies to the battery a constant current of 1.5 Amperes. As
the battery reaches 80% of its capacity, the Model 150 changes
to a constant voltage source, providing a tapering current
during the stage of charging that would be generating
increasing amounts of gas if the constant current were still
applied. Once the current to the battery reaches a pre-
programmed value, compensated for temperature, the Model
150 changes to its final mode of operation, that of a float
charger.

The management of the current flowing to the battery during
this process is critical if the process of energy storage is to be
optimized. Once the charge stored reaches the eighty percent
level, gas produced by charging increases. During the
Absorption Mode, the current tapers, generating a slower
increase in voltage for the same time interval. Finally, when
the battery is fully charged, the current ceases for a brief time
and the voltage falls to the Float Voltage. These critical break
points, ending Bulk Charge, ending Absorption Charge, and
Float Voltage are all temperature compensated, permitting
precise programming of these voltages, hence maximum
charge stored.
