Low Noise. Noise is probably not something you'd normally think about when considering eBike chargers. However, you would be surprised by how loud they can be. This is because most chargers have loud fans to mitigate the heat generated by the electronics during a charge. The fan in the Tower 48V charger is not loud at all, in fact, it rarely makes any noise.

Power Switching Technology. Lithium-ion batteries utilize the most advanced battery technology on the market, and require a unique charging method. Cheap chargers that do not properly charge lithium-ion batteries can shorten battery life and are very dangerous. The charging method used by this charger is called power switching, and consists of three steps. The first step is pre-conditioning. This step only occurs when the battery is completely exhausted, and cannot safely accept as much current. Once the battery is about 10% charged, the charger enters fast charging. In this step, the charger provides the a strong constant current. Once the battery reaches full voltage, the charger automatically stops the current to prevent overcharge. If the battery remains plugged in for a long period of time, it will slowly start to lose power. When this happens, the charger will enter a re-charge mode, to keep the battery at it's full capacity.

Charging Indicator Light. The Tower 48V charger uses a simple binary light system to indicate the charge status. A red light means the battery is charging. A green light means the battery is fully charged, or disconnected. This intelligent charger will automatically stop charging, so you don't need to worry about over charging you batteries. However, we still recommend that you never leave the battery charging unattended.

Surge Protection. A surge protector is built into this 48V charger to protect your battery from random voltage spikes.

Quick Charge Time. This is a 2A charger, which means it only takes about 7 hours to fully charge the 14Ah battery on the Tower Beach Bum electric beach cruiser.

• Do not leave your battery charging unattended.
• Charge your battery on the floor, dangling cables can be hazardous.
