Charger Features

  • Standards Compliant: Built to meet or exceed UL, CSA standars for ABYC, DNV, ABS, and USCG installation requirements. Meets UL-1236 for drip proof requirement. Built with materials meeting 94-VO for flame retardance. Meets or exceeds CEC (California Energy Commission) Title 20 efficiency.
  • Multiple Battery Chemistry Compatibility: Compatible with most popular battery types including: lead acid, VRLA, lead calcium, gel cell, floaded or sealed. (**Lithium batteries are not supported at this time***)
  • Percise Constant Voltage Regulation: Regulates to 0.5% from no load to full load.
  • Extended Battery Life:When properly configured, proven to extend the life of the battery through percise regulation and charge algorithm.
  • 100% Continuous Output: No fans to fail, 100% convection cooled. Will hold 100% output and rated voltage at 50 deg C with no degradation.
  • Isolation Transformer: Built around a rugged line frequency isolation transformer. Reduces galvanic issues. 50/60hz, 120, 208, 220, 240VAC single phase input.
  • 3 Bank Capability Diode isolated output that will maintain 3 separate battery banks of the same voltage and chemistry.
  • Reverse Polarity Protected.
  • Pseudo 3-Step Charging Algorithm: Independently adjustable voltage settings for absorption/equalize and float steps.
  • Power-Up Option: Can be set to auto equalize or powerup in float.
  • Cycle Time Control: 0-124 hour user configurable equalize timer.
  • Surge Damped: 50% load change response less than 1 second.
  • Ignition Protected: AC breaker is ignition protected as well as the DC output fuse.
  • Digital Status Display: Fully digital display with system current and charge mode. Voltage for individual banks may be displayed* (*optional). Remote capable with optional upgrade kit.
  • RFA (Remote Failure Alarms): Optional AC fail and charger fail alarms with form C relay contacts to indicate AC input and/or charger output failure.
  • Soft Start: Protects connected loads from inrush surges at startup.
  • 35+ Year Live Expectancy: Built to last!
  • Installation Kit Included: "No Flange" EZ-Mount installation bracket included.
