WORLD LEADER IN BATTERY SERVICE
TECHNOLOGY
Model PDQ "pretty damn quick"
Service Express Super Fast Charger
The first patented computer controlled service bay
charger designed for speed and safety. Now the average automotive
battery can be returned to service in 20 to 40 minutes at a minimum of
80% to 90% state of charge.
Super fast speed is made possible by Christie's
patented exclusive 80 amp constant current control electronics which
constantly monitors the battery to assure proper charging parameters and
to detect and reject battery failure conditions which may prevent safe
charging.
Minimize charge time; Maximize customer service;
Reduce unnecessary warranties. Now you can get the car out of your bay
and back on the road in record time.
"Good but Discharged" The
Contradiction
To most battery customers, a "good" battery means one which can operate
his vehicle. A discharged battery will not crank the vehicle and
therefore is not "good". Your customer may insist on a warranty
replacement unless the battery can be charged and made "good" within a
short waiting period.
Service in Under an
Hour
The "PDQ" is 4 to 6 times faster than conventional battery chargers. The
expected charging time with the PDQ is 20 to 40 minutes for most
batteries to reach at least a 80 to 90% state of charge. Larger or
deeply discharged batteries will take longer.
Safe for In-Car
Charging
Computer controls assure that the "PDQ" is safe for in-car charging with
no fear of overheating, overcharging, or vehicle or paint damage from
corrosive gases or spilled acid.
Automatic
Controls
The "PDQ" is literally automatic. There are no controls to set and no
meters to monitor. Simply connect the battery and turn on the power
switch. Operation is simple and "user friendly." When finished, the "PDQ"
will sound a horn and an indicator light will show that the charge is
complete.
Safety Performance Features
Temperature sensing assures proper regulation of hot batteries. Reverse
Polarity Protection assures against damage to vehicle electronics.
Internal failure diagnostics monitor charger components and warn of need
for service.
General
Information
The PDQ Service Express Battery Charger is computer
controlled for rapid battery charging speed.
The charger design is based on established charging
principles regarding the capacity of good discharged batteries to safely
accept high charge rates.
In order for the PDQ to provide high rate charging,
the charger has extensive diagnostics to detect batteries in poor or
defective condition and to terminate or reduce charging accordingly.
With the combination of diagnostics and high rate
charging capacity, the PDQ can safely re-charge the average automotive
lead-acid battery to 85% to 90% state of charge in 20 to 40 minutes.
Operation
and Control:
When the power switch is turned on, the charger
checks for correct connections; next it checks the battery state of
charge and applies a load to the battery. During the period following
the load, the charger looks for several battery fault conditions. If a
fault is found, the yellow "charging stopped" light will flash and
charging will not continue.
During the charging cycle, the charger monitors the
energy received by the battery, the charging voltage and current, and
the battery temperature rise. If the charging characteristics are
normal, the charger will continue until the battery has reached a
sufficient level of charge and the green "charge complete" light will
come on.
When the yellow "charging stopped" light comes on,
the charger has stopped short of a normal recharge, indicating that the
battery should be tested before further charging is done. In the case of
very large batteries, very cold batteries, or batteries in a deep state
of discharge, a second charge cycle may be appropriate after testing.
