IOTA uses advanced switch mode technology to bring to market highly
sophisticated electronic battery chargers at an affordable price.
Durably built, these IOTA chargers have low line voltage, short circuit
and thermal protection.    
These have a cooling fan comes on automatically when needed and
is proportional - the fan speed is determined by the load.
They quickly bring batteries up to full charge and maintain them with only
the needed amount of power.  
The DLS  chargers can output two voltages - a standard float voltage
and a quick charge voltage for rapid charging with a generator to reduce
the generator running time.  
Quick charge plug included,
please click onto this link to see connection Control Plug
For owners of the earlier style of charger please click onto:
These chargers are designed to accept input voltages ranging
from 108 to 132 volts a.c. and from  47 to 63 cycles.
The DLS series is protected against low line voltage as well as
spikes coming from the a.c. source.
Radio and television interference is minimized.  
The DLS is protected against improper wiring.
External fuses (standard ATC automotive type) can be easily changed.
The d.c. output block (lug ports) accepts up to 4 ga. heavy wire or cable.
To see how heavy the output block is and the simplicity of wiring please
click onto this link: Power Output Block
The DLS-75 has power cord plug which has a heavy duty 25 amp rating.
The output on IOTA chargers is designed to be hard wired (very simple)
to the battery(s).

These IOTA battery chargers can also be used
as a stable d.c. power supply.
DLS chargers can be wired in series to increase
voltage, or in parallel to increase amperage.
When wiring in series or parallel all chargers should
be the same model.

We stock most of the line of IOTA power and power distribution products.

THE BOTTOM LINE: if you want a top quality, heavy duty charger, from a
company who cares about the customer, IOTA is the only choice.
My experience with IOTA has given us the confidence to stock their

Will work on the 12, 24 and 36 volt models of DLS chargers.

We also stock the 48 volt model - see below.

Take your DLS Battery Charger to the next level...

Reduced Charge Times
The Bulk Stage allows the batteries to be charged from the full rated
output of the DLS charger.
During this stage the batteries are recharged quickly to reduce
charge times

Increased Battery Capacity
After the Bulk Stage, the batteries are held in the Absorption Stage for
a controlled period, insuring a full and complete charge.

Reduced Battery Stress
During the Float Stage, the DLS charge voltage is reduced.
This minimizes gassing while maintaining a full charge at the nominal
rate of the battery.

Weekly Equalization for Longer Battery Life
If the batteries have not received a "smart charge" during a seven-day
period, the IQ Controller will switch the DLS charger into a
pre-programmed equalization stage to top off the batteries, dissolving
any sulfate layer on the battery's internal plates and avoiding stratification.

LED Indicator
The LED Indicator on the IQ4 informs the user as to the status of the
battery and the charging stage.
When first activated, the IQ4 will set itself for the voltage of your battery
system: 12, 24 or 36 volt  .

After reading the battery, the IQ4 will initiate the charge phase that
is required.
The following voltages are approximate and are used for reference in
a 12 volt battery system.
You can double them for a 24 volt and triple them for a 36 volt system.

     Initial bulk charge - the LED indicator flashes rapidly and the
     DLS output is 14.76 volts (2.46 volts per cell).
     Absorption charge - the LED indicator flashes slowly and the
     DLS output is 14.16 volts (2.36 volts per cell).
     Float charge - the LED indicator is solid and the
     DLS output is 13.56 volts (2.26 volts per cell).             

Please note: if you have an old style DLS battery charger, made prior
to 2004 and without the modular jack on top, the current IQ4 can not
be adapted for use with the old style units.

You can connect two DLS battery chargers
in parallel to double their output amperage.
The IQ4 - PARALLEL smart charge controller connects to both chargers
to monitor and control the battery charging sequence and full four
stage charging.
This will work on 12, 24 or 36 volt DLS battery chargers - both chargers
must have the same voltage output (e.g. 12, 24 or 36 volt.)
This will NOT work with the 48 volt (DLS-54.4V-15) charger.
The next IQ4 below does work with the 48 volt charger.

What is the difference between a DLS power converter and a DLS battery charger?

The DLS converters have a set output at 12 volts d.c.,
this will power 12 volt loads and appliances but will NOT
charge a battery.
The DLS battery chargers have a higher voltage, they will
operate your 12 volt loads and applicances (some ham radio
operators use them for power supplies) and will
also charge your batteries.

ALL of the DLS models we stock are battery chargers which will do both jobs.

If you have any questions, just call us at (562) 423-4879.

A note on bow fishing applications.

When choosing an IOTA DLS charger for use on a bow fishing boat
you should consider the capabilities of your generator.

Many generators have high wattage ratings but you should also look
at the amp rating of your 120 volt outlets.

It has come up in the past where a customer had a huge generator
but the outlets had 10 amp circuit breakers.

Once the halogen lights were plugged in, there was not enough capacity
in the circuit breakers to handle the battery chargers.
The amp draw on a 500 watt halogen light is about 4.25 amps.

The following are the input (120 volts a.c.) amp draws of some of the
IOTA DLS chargers at full output:

DLS-45m @ 11 amps

DLS-55m @ 12 amps

DSL-27-25m @ 12 amps

DLS-27-40 @ 20 amps

In some instances it may be necessary to check the owner's
manual on the generator for instructions on how to draw
120 volts a.c. from the 220/240 v.a.c. output.

Please click the back button on your browser to return
to the DLS model you were looking at.

Both the IQ4 and Quick Charge plug fit into this
receptacle on the current production IOTA chargers.

Early Style IOTA Chargers:
jumper terminals used to raise voltage to 14.2 vdc To raise the charging voltage to 14.2 volts on the early
IOTA chargers without the plug-in control jack, just place a jumper wire
on these two screw terminals. This is recommended for use with a
generator to reduce the generator running time.  It should NOT
be considered a permanent modification as long term charging
of a 12 volt battery at 14.2 volts can cause over-charging.
The IQ3 Smart Charge Control also uses these two screw terminals
and one of the power output lugs. They have instructions on the control
as to which wire goes where.
The IQ3 smart controller has been out of production since late 2005 and
the factory no longer has them.

 
IOTA battery charger, notice the simple power outlets and ATC fuse block. Power output block - strip wire, insert and tighten screws.



For a small maintenance type battery charger we recommend the
Battery Tender series which we no longer stock.

An important note on connecting DLS battery chargers in
parallel.
Do not connect two DLS chargers in parallel if one or both of them
has the built-in IQ4 smart charge controller.
Do not connect two DLS chargers in parallel if on or both of them
has the external IQ4 smart charge controller attached.
In either case, if one charger goes into turbo mode it's high
voltage output will damage the other charger.
The PARALLEL IQ4 controller operates both chargers together
in each charging stage.
