Product Description

Ensure your boat’s power system stays reliable and efficient with the TRUEcharge™3 60A 3 Bank Battery Charger - 12V. Designed specifically for marine and boating applications, this ultra-compact charger combines advanced technology with robust protection features to keep your batteries in peak condition, whether you’re cruising the coast or anchored offshore.

Superior Charging Technology for Marine Applications

The TRUEcharge3 series leads the industry with its microprocessor-controlled, multistage charging algorithms, ensuring your boat’s batteries receive optimal care. Its compact, drip-proof design allows flexible mounting options, making it perfect for the limited spaces on vessels. Compatible with lithium-ion batteries, this charger meets global safety and regulatory standards while minimizing electrical interference for a safer marine environment.

Key Features

  • Microprocessor-controlled, multistage charging algorithms for efficient battery management
  • Flexible two and three-stage charging settings tailored to various marine battery types
  • Battery equalization feature to balance charge levels and extend battery life
  • Supports Flooded, Gel, AGM, and Lithium-Ion batteries, providing versatility for different marine setups
  • Parallel stacking capability (requires remote panel) for expanding charging capacity on larger vessels
  • Ability to revive deeply discharged batteries, ensuring reliability during long voyages
  • Quiet mode operation to maintain a peaceful onboard environment

Robust Protection Features

  • Reverse polarity protection to prevent damage from incorrect battery connections
  • Drip-proof design ensures safe operation in marine conditions with potential moisture exposure
  • DC over-voltage protection guards against overcharging batteries
  • Over-temperature protection maintains safe operating temperatures
  • Circuit breaker protection adds an extra layer of safety for your boat’s electrical system

Three-Stage Charging Process

The TRUEcharge3 employs a precise three-stage charging process to maximize battery performance and lifespan:

  1. Bulk: Rapidly restores 70–80% of the battery’s charge, providing quick power replenishment.
  2. Absorption: Completes the remaining 20–30% charge at a controlled, safe rate to fully stabilize the battery.
  3. Float: Maintains a steady voltage to keep the battery fully charged without overcharging, ideal for prolonged periods on board.

Power Factor Corrected (PFC) Charging

Optimizes shore power usage by reducing the charger’s demand on your boat’s AC power supply. This feature allows more usable power for running essential onboard devices and minimizes the risk of tripping shore power breakers during charging operations.
