Two-Way Fast Charger for TLI-9380E Battery
The PTC-9380E is designed for use with TLI-9380E batteries, a three-level charging circuit controlled by the digital processor to ensure full charging and maximum battery life.
The battery is charged at a high rate until reaches a preset cut-off voltage, then the charge current will be tapered off gradually while the battery is held at the terminal voltage until the charging current decreases to one-tenth (10%) of the bulk charge rate.
Advantages:
Auto Capacity Detection: if the battery is in a saturated state, the charger will stop charging the battery, and the charge indicator light will turn green(READY).
Auto Temperature Detection: When the battery temperature is too low, the charger will charge the battery with micro electric current, until the battery temperature returns to normal, and then the charger will transfer to normal current charging.

PTC-9380E Two-Way Fast Charger for TLI-9380E Batteries & PRC-6020 Radios
The PTC-9380E is a high-performance, dual-channel charging station specifically engineered for TLI-9380E batteries used in PRC-6020 radios
Driven by an advanced processor, this charger utilizes a precision three-level charging circuit to ensure your batteries reach full capacity while maximizing their overall service life
With its versatile power input options and intelligent detection features, the PTC-9380E is the ideal solution for maintaining mission-critical communications in both base and mobile environments.
Key Features & Intelligent Technology
The PTC-9380E goes beyond standard charging by incorporating smart sensors that adapt to the battery's condition and environment.
Three-Stage Charging Logic: Batteries are charged at a high rate until they reach a preset cut-off voltage, after which the current is tapered off gradually to ensure a safe, 100% saturation
Auto Capacity Detection: To prevent overcharging, the processor automatically stops the cycle once the battery is fully saturated, signaling completion with a Green (READY) light
Auto Temperature Detection: If a battery is too cold, the charger initiates a micro-current "pre-warm" charge until the temperature returns to a safe level for normal current charging
Dual-Source Power Input: Highly adaptable for different locations, supporting 110/220 VAC wall power or 18 to 30 VDC for vehicle or field-generator use
Comprehensive Protection: Features full Reverse Polarity Protection on both the DC input and battery outputs to prevent damage from incorrect connections
Technical Specifications
Bulk Charging Rate: 1.1A (C/5)
Nominal Charge Time: Approximately 6 hours for an 80% discharged battery
Floating Charge Voltage: 13.7 Vdc
Operating Temperature: Effective from 0℃ to +60℃ ambient
Compact Design: Dimensions of 259 * 103 * 163 mm, making it suitable for crowded workstations or mobile kits
Visual Status Indicators
Stay informed of your battery's status through the clear mechanical panel indicators:
