During coding and flashing, control units, cooling fans and lighting systems can remain active for long periods with the ignition switched on. A standard battery charger may not be able to keep up, causing the vehicle voltage to drop \u2013 and in the worst case, leaving the control unit unusable.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>TOPDON Tornado120000<\/strong> (T120A) delivers up to <strong>120 A and 1,700 W<\/strong> with an adjustable voltage range from 11 to 16.8 V. This keeps the vehicle electrical system stable even under high current demand, for example during programming on BMW or Mercedes-Benz vehicles. Outside programming sessions, it functions as a fully capable 12V battery charger for lead-acid and lithium batteries.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"ml24pd-sec\">\n<h2>Which Mode Is Used for What?<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"ml24pd-jobs\">\n<li><span>Power Supply Mode (Supply)<\/span><span>Provides stable voltage during programming, coding and extended diagnostic sessions<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span>Battery Mode<\/span><span>Charges lead-acid, Gel, EFB and AGM batteries using a 9-stage charging process<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span>Lithium Mode<\/span><span>Charges 12V lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span>Custom<\/span><span>Set and save your own charging parameters<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"ml24pd-note\">Supported battery types: Wet, Gel, MF, EFB, AGM, CAL, VRLA and LiFePO4, with capacities from 20 to 3,700 Ah.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"ml24pd-sec\">\n<h2>Charging with Detailed Reports<\/h2>\n<p>In battery mode, the Tornado charges in nine stages. Current and voltage can be adjusted in real time, while the dot-matrix display shows power, voltage and current.<\/p>\n<p>Using USB and TOPDON PC software, you can export a charging report after each session containing the operating mode, energy consumption, charging time, as well as initial and final voltage. This is particularly useful when you want to document the battery condition for your customer.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"ml24pd-sec\">\n<h2>Good to Know<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"ml24pd-jobs\">\n<li><span>Automatic Shut-Off When Disconnected<\/span><span>Except in power supply mode, the device automatically switches off the output when the battery is disconnected.
