KENOSHA, Wis., July 11, 2002 -Battery-operated tools and devices help improve mobility and productivity for automotive technicians. That is, until the batteries run low. But with the
new Versa Volt "Smart" Charger (CTC328) from Snap-on Tools Company, technicians can ensure they never lose power for the job at hand.

This mobile battery charger simplifies the battery recharging process. The versatile unit plugs into any 12VDC vehicle outlet and has the ability to charge a variety of Snap-on battery
packs including models CTBI00, CTB312, CTB314 and CTB3185.

The Versa Volt "Smart" Charger features a microprocessor that monitors the state of the battery pack every 10 seconds to ensure the battery is fully charged. The "Smart" technology inhibits the unit from charging a hot battery pack and stops charging based on the state of charge, not battery pack temperature.

Fast charging takes only 45 minutes; however, the Versa Volt "Smart" Charger also offers charging options for lightweight and longer life. Switching power supply types does not require a transformer. A red light indicates the unit is charging, while a green light signals that the pack is fully charged.
