Projecta IC35
Intelli-Charge Battery Charger
12V 35A 7 Stage Switchmode Battery Charger
Lead Acid and Lithium Battery Charging
The Projecta IC35 is a 12V 35A Intelli-Charge automatic battery charger designed for charging and maintaining large 12V lead acid and lithium battery banks.
It supports selectable battery chemistry modes including Lithium, GEL, AGM, WET and Calcium. For lead acid batteries, the charger uses a 7-stage charging process. For lithium LiFePO4 batteries, it uses a dedicated 5-stage lithium charging algorithm.
The IC35 also includes an LCD screen, adjustable charge rates, Power Supply mode, Recondition mode, remote display support and temperature compensation support.
The IC35 includes:
7-stage charging for lead acid batteries
5-stage charging for lithium batteries

No.
The IC35 is a 12V battery charger only.
For GEL, AGM, WET and Calcium batteries, the IC35 uses a 7-stage charging process:
Desulphation — Breaks down sulphation in batteries that have been left flat.
Soft Start — Gently introduces power to the battery.
Bulk — Charges at maximum current up to the selected battery voltage.
Absorption — Charges the battery to full capacity using controlled voltage.
Analysis — Tests whether the battery has accepted charge.
Recondition — Attempts to restore batteries that cannot hold charge.
Float — Maintains the battery at 100% charge.
For Calcium mode, an Equalisation stage is also used.
When Lithium mode is selected, the IC35 uses a 5-stage lithium charging profile:
Soft Start 1 — Charges at 5% of selected current until the battery reaches 8.0V.
Soft Start 2 — Charges at 25% of selected current until the battery reaches 10.0V.
Bulk Charge — Charges at the selected current up to 14.2V.
Absorption — Completes charging at reduced current.
Float — Maintains the battery at 13.5V.
The IC35 supports:
2A
8A
16A
35A

Yes.
The IC35 can be hard wired to the battery for permanent installations.
Recommended fuse or circuit breaker rating:
IC35: 50A
Do not cut the DC leads unless required. If the DC leads are cut, the sensor wires must be included in both positive and negative connections.
Check the following:
Battery voltage is above 1.0V.
Battery clamps are connected correctly.
Red clamp is connected to positive +.
Black clamp is connected to negative – or correct chassis earth.
240V mains power is ON.
Charger On/Off switch is ON.
Correct battery chemistry is selected.
Correct charge rate is selected.
Battery is not frozen, damaged or faulty.
OTP means the charger has overheated and switched off.
Ensure there is at least 10cm clearance around the charger end plates and that ventilation is not blocked.
Err — Short circuit or reverse connection of the clips.
F01 — Bulk charging has timed out after 22 hours. Battery may be faulty.
Dash / horizontal line fault — Recondition mode has timed out after 3 attempts.
OTP — Charger has overheated. Check ventilation.
OLC — Sensor wires are not connected correctly.
OCP — Charger has encountered an error. Contact support.
