Product Info

In addition to meeting global safety and regulatory standards, TRUECHARGE2 Battery Chargers feature low electrical interference and superior, efficient, power factor corrected multistage charging. TRUECHARGE2 Battery Chargers can be mounted virtually anywhere, given their unique drip-proof design. With certified ignition protection, even a gasoline engine room is an alternative for installation*. Trouble-free installation is ensured with easy-to-access AC and DC wiring compartments and reverse-polarity battery protection.

Designed primarily for marine and commercial applications worldwide, TRUECHARGE2 Battery Chargers are unmatched for reliability. Available in two 12-volt models, they are versatile enough to be used in a wide variety of conditions and locations. Auto-ranging AC input voltage capability (90 - 265 volts AC) makes traveling abroad and handling poor-quality power a breeze. The easy-to-read display can be augmented with an optional remote panel.

Note:  Specifications subject to change without notice.

Three-Stage Charging

Multistage charging ensures batteries receive optimum charging, but with minimal wear and tear, regulating the voltage and current delivered to the batteries in three automatic stages:

- Bulk:  Replaces 70-80% of the battery’s state-of-charge at the fastest possible rate.
- Absorption:  Replenishes the remaining 20-30% of charge, bringing the battery to a full charge at a slow, safe rate.
- Float:  Voltage is reduced and held constant in order to prevent damage and maintain batteries at a full charge.

Power Factor Corrected (PFC)

Less shorepower is required for charging batteries, freeing up more usable AC power for running electrical devices and appliances and reducing the likelihood of tripping shorepower breakers.
