nextGeneration
The high-tech multi-function chargers/dischargers with the unbelievable characteristics.
The schulze-chameleons of the next generation!
The symbiosis of innovation, performance, quality,
precision and design.
The reference for battery chargers, dischargers and balancers.
Made in Germany – of course.
• Charges / discharges / maintains
Lithium, Nickel and Lead batteries.
• Broad input voltage range 10-25V, "car" variant 10-15V.
• Dual-language menu: English / German. Default language English.
Second language (German) included in the set.
• More national languages can be downloaded from the Schulze website at no
charge.
• Software updates and upgrades will be available on the Schulze website for
downloading.
• Large graphic screen with white backlighting and 128 x 64 pixels.
• High-performance charging and discharging.
• Discharge processes
on output 1 feed energy back into the car battery or into the
build in electronic load – in fact even with ONE cell.
• Integral ultra-precise Power Boost balancer.
• 8 or 12 voltage measurement inputs (depending on the type of charger) for monitoring individual cells in a battery.
• Wrong polarity protected power input and charging outputs.
• User-defined default settings for fast, simple
operation.
EXTENSIONS
• Softwareversion 1.06 and higher:
Display of the single cell voltages in a pack when the pack is connected to one of the balancing/measuring connectors.
Also display of the difference voltages between each cell and the cell with the highest voltage.

Interfaces
5V-SIO as a standard equipped in all variants of the nextGeneration
series.
Accessory pack ("nextConn-Set")
Plug-in circuit board with USB interface, temperature sensor input, two switched
outputs (for fan and flashing light), plus associated USB lead, temperature
sensor, two leads with connectors fitted.
Available
The “melody module” is available (accessories).
This new series of battery chargers is based on suggestions from our customers
as well as our own practical experience.
The unusual design fulfils the technical requirements extremely well.
The large 3” graphic screen offers 128 x 64 pixels and white screen
backlighting, and provides good contrast for excellent legibility.
Depending on the menu selected, it is possible to display a simultaneous summary
of up to thirteen parameters, or battery status plus a graphic display of the
charge / discharge voltage.
The unit features nine buttons which make it very simple to select and operate
the exact facilities you wish to use.
An integral balancer is available for Lithium battery packs, fitted with three
different connector systems (Schulze BalCab 10 and 20, 1 x universal connector
with 2.54 mm spacing).
The Lithium battery balancer incorporates the same proven Power Balancing
technology used in the LiPoBal; this technique charges the weaker cells instead
of discharging the fuller ones, which inevitably involves losses. Since energy
is drawn from the car battery, this method shortens the overall charge time for
a given charge current, compared with balancers based on the discharge
technique.
Discharge processes feed energy back into the car battery – even with ONE cell.
If the charger is used with a mains PSU or a full car battery, the integral
electronic discharge load is automatically activated; it is cooled when
necessary by the temperature-controlled fan.
Since the
unit operates at very high efficiency, the fan only cuts in when the converter
is required to produce very high levels of power.
The unit is available in 10 variants.
