Rovert Automatic Multi-Stage Leisure Battery Charger - 12V 20A

Description 

This high-quality, intelligent 3-stage battery charger from UK manufacturer Rovert Electrical will keep your wet lead-acid deep-cycle leisure battery in prime condition and prolong its life whilst connected to mains power on-site or at home. It offers fully automatic charging so you can leave it connected without damaging your battery. It can also recover 'dead' batteries that have been discharged to a low voltage and which might otherwise have to be replaced. An additional feature of this charger is that it can be used as a Power Supply Unit (PSU) to directly power 12V appliances whilst connected to mains and it has in-built protection against short-circuit, over-current and thermal overload. There is an output to connect a remote LED to indicate charging status and the case has 4 holes for mounting to a flat surface (horizontal or vertical mounting).

Please note:  Battery connection leads are not included but we recommend using 4mm² thin wall cable with 6.3mm fully insulated female blade terminals to connect to the charger.  This unit is not fitted with a 3-pin plug as it is intended to be hard-wired into a consumer unit, but one can be used if required.

Recommended for wet lead-acid leisure batteries with a capacity in the range of 150 - 200Ah.

Further information

As a rule of thumb the charging rate for your battery should be somewhere between 10-13% of its Ah rating, so this charger is recommended for a battery of around 150-200Ah capacity. A smaller charger can be used but re-charging will take longer.
