• 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.
