A 10-amp multi-stage battery charger with an enclosed terminal block

Designed to be hard wired into your electrical system, the TRUECHARGE 10TB is ideal for batteries from 25 amp-hours to 200 amp-hours. The multi-stage charge is microprocessor-controlled, ripple-free and faster charging than many 15, 20, and 30 amp rated Ferro resonant battery chargers.

The accurate delivery of the three-stage charge eliminates the risk of overcharged or boiled batteries. The ripple-free, filtered DC output helps prolong the life of batteries. TRUECHARGE 10TB is also able to recharge completely discharged batteries.

Three-stage Charging

Multistage charging ensures batteries receive optimum charging throughout the charge cycle, but with minimal wear and tear. There are three stages of operation:

1. Bulk Charge: replenishes 70-80% of the battery's charge at the fastest possible rate.

2. Absorption: replenishes the remaining 20-30% of the charge, bringing the battery to full charge at a slow, safe rate.

3. Float: supplies a light current to keep the battery topped up.
