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 7080% of the batterys state-of-charge at the fastest possible rate
• Absorption: Replenishes the remaining 2030% of charge, bringing the battery to a full charge at a slow, safe rate
• Float: Voltage is reduced and held constant to prevent damage and maintain batteries at a full charge for the remaining 2030% of charge, bringing the battery to a full charge at a slow, safe rate

Power Factor Corrected (PFC) Charging

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

The Xantrex TRUECHARGE3 30A 3-Bank Battery Charger is a versatile and efficient solution designed for 24V battery systems in both recreational and commercial applications. Its compact and drip-proof design allows for flexible mounting options, making it suitable for a variety of environments. This charger is compatible with multiple battery types including flooded, gel, AGM, and lithium-ion, ensuring broad usability across different power setups. It features advanced microprocessor-controlled multistage charging algorithms that optimize battery health while minimizing wear, with distinct settings for two or three-stage charging processes. The inclusion of a battery-equalization feature helps maintain maximum battery performance and lifespan, especially important for deep-cycle or frequently used batteries. The power factor correction (PFC) capability reduces the amount of shore power needed, freeing resources for other electrical devices and reducing the risk of tripping breakers on the input side.

Designed for international use, the TRUECHARGE3 accepts input voltages from 90 to 265 volts at 47-63 Hz, making it ideal for travel or installations in regions with inconsistent power quality. The charger is equipped with built-in surge and spike protection, ensuring safe operation in various power environments. Its user-friendly display, which can be augmented with an optional remote panel, provides clear visibility into charging status and system operation. Additionally, the charger can handle batteries drained to extremely low voltages, providing reliable recovery and charging in critical situations. The unit includes multiple safety protections such as reverse polarity, over-voltage, over-temperature, and circuit breaker protections to safeguard both the charger and the batteries.

Operational efficiency exceeds 80%, thanks to smart multistage charging that adjusts voltage and current based on battery needs. The three-stage charging process—bulk, absorption, and float—ensures batteries are charged quickly and safely, reducing cycle wear and extending battery life. Its lightweight and compact form factor make installation straightforward, with dimensions that accommodate various mounting scenarios. Certified to meet international safety standards, including UL, CSA, and IEC, the Xantrex TRUECHARGE3 is a reliable choice for maintaining optimal battery performance in demanding environments.
