Cobra & Cobra Gold

Cobra and Cobra Gold Battery Chargers blend Silicon Controlled Rectifiers (SCR) with Ferroresonant efficiency for a Cobra Finish. This unique technology thrives in both hot and cold environments, and while charging high-gravity batteries. Only a Cobra ensures a complete recharge under every operating condition possible.

Cobra Chargers allow you to program the finish rate you need. The SCRs provide a constant finish current regardless of battery voltage. The resulting complete recharge means greater battery performance, longer battery life and potentially fewer batteries. The Cobra's ferroresonant transformer reduces utility cost in comparison to full SCR and high-frequency chargers. The result is higher productivity for a better return on your investment.

Here's how it works.

Ordinary ferroresonant chargers undercharge cold batteries because the cold creates an artificially higher voltage, causing the charger to stop before the battery is fully charged. The reverse happens in hot conditions. Ordinary chargers overcharge because the heat creates an artificially lower voltage.

High gravity batteries have a slightly higher voltage and need a charger that will adjust before terminating the charge. The SCRs provide a constant finish, regardless of the voltage. That means greater battery performance, longer battery life, and higher productivity.

Other Cost Saving Features Include:

  • Programmable start and delayed start by time of day or elapsed time
  • Auto equalization by day of the week or cycle count
  • Auto refresh
  • Data retention
  • Several termination methods Stackable up to three-high to save space
  • Power Payback Program

    When you purchase Cobra or Cobra Gold from EnerSys, you are eligible to enroll in our Power Payback Program. Ten years after you purchase a Cobra or Cobra Gold Charger, we'll credit you with 15% of the original purchase price when you purchase a new Cobra or Cobra Gold Charger.
