SAILOR Chargers: Selection and Maintenance
Charging is the most inconspicuous part of the communication kit while it is running. When it stops, it turns out that without it handheld GMDSS stations turn into property without function. We figure out what's important.
Why can’t we just take “anything on the same jack”?
Charging is selected for the type of elements and for a specific series of stations: nickel and lithium have different algorithms, different voltage end charge and different temperature control. The universal device either undercharges or overheats – and in both cases, the battery lives half as long.
Single or multiple nests
On a ship with a full set of handheld stations, a multi-seat charging system saves space on the bulkhead and one socket. But it has a disadvantage: the failure of one power supply unit leaves without charge all stations at once. Where the kit is critical, two smaller devices are more reasonable.

About power supply on the ship
Chargers are put on a line that does not sag when starting large consumers, and away from heat sources. On ships with a 24-volt network - only through a converter of the desired power, with a margin and blowing.
What to clarify when selecting
Station model, element type and onboard network voltage. That's enough to pick it up exactly. The catalogue is below on this page.
