Xantrex TRUEcharge3 60A 3-Bank 12V Battery Charger - Multi-Stage, Lithium Compatible

TRUEcharge3 60A 3 Bank Battery Charger - 12V

TRUEcharge3 battery chargers lead the industry with a small footprint and ultra-compact design. In addition to meeting global safety and regulatory standards, they feature low electrical interference and efficient power factor-corrected multistage charging. The TRUEcharge3 Chargers can be mounted in multiple positions thanks to their inherent drip-proof design characteristics. Unlike its predecessors, TRUEcharge3 is lithium-ion battery compatible.

Designed for recreational and commercial applications worldwide, TRUEcharge3 accepts 90265 Vac, and 4763 Hz, which makes traveling abroad and handling poor-quality power a breeze. The easy-to-read display of the TRUEcharge3 12 V models can be enhanced with an optional remote panel. Each model has built-in protection against surges and spikes on the AC power line.

Protection Features:

• Reverse-battery polarity protection
• Drip-proof design
• DC over-voltage protection
• Over-temperature protection
• Circuit breaker protection

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 60A 3-bank battery charger is designed to provide reliable and efficient charging for 12V batteries in both recreational and commercial applications. Its compact and drip-proof design allows for versatile mounting options in various environments. The charger is built with advanced microprocessor-controlled, multistage charging algorithms that ensure batteries are charged optimally while minimizing wear, extending battery life. It supports multiple battery chemistries including flooded, gel, AGM, and lithium-ion (LiFePO4), making it suitable for a wide range of power sources. The ability to accept variable input voltages (90265 Vac) and frequencies (47-63 Hz) simplifies international use and handling inconsistent power supplies. An optional remote panel can be added to enhance the readability of the display, and built-in surge and spike protection safeguard connected equipment.

This charger features three automatic charging stages: bulk, absorption, and float, each precisely controlled to restore and maintain battery health. During the bulk phase, it quickly replaces 70-80% of the battery's charge, followed by a slow, safe absorption stage that completes the full recharge. The float stage maintains the battery at a full charge with reduced voltage, preventing overcharging and damage. Power factor correction (PFC) technology reduces the amount of shore power needed, freeing up electrical capacity and reducing the risk of tripping breakers. Its efficient design delivers over 80% efficiency, ensuring minimal energy loss during operation.

Safety features include reverse-polarity protection, over-voltage, temperature, and circuit breaker protections, along with a drip-proof construction that allows for multiple mounting positions. The unit accommodates batteries drained to extremely low voltages and provides a quiet mode for operation in noise-sensitive environments. Its compact size and lightweight design make installation straightforward, and the robust construction ensures durability in demanding conditions. Certified to meet international safety and efficiency standards such as CSA, CE, UL, IEC, FCC, and ABYC, the TRUEcharge3 is a reliable choice for maintaining critical battery power in various settings.

Features:

• Microprocessor-controlled, multistage charging algorithms for optimal battery health
