Abstract

A battery charger is provided. The charger includes an AC input for connection to a source of AC power and a plurality of DC outputs each being connectable to a battery bank. A user interface is provided for inputting battery information including battery voltage and battery type for each DC output. A main controller is in communication with the user interface and receives the battery information from the user interface. The main controller uses the battery information to provide independent charging instructions for each DC output. At least one power module is in communication with the main controller and receives the charging instructions from the main controller. The power module is configured to convert the AC power from the AC input to DC power and is selectively connectable with each of the plurality DC outputs. The power module is configured such that the charging instructions from the main controller direct the power module as to which DC output to connect and a charge voltage and a charge amps to be provided by the power module to that DC output.
