Xantrex (Schneider Electrioc) Battery Chargers
Truecharge2 40amp Battery Charger
Truecharge2 is available as a 20 or 40 amp electronic battery charger for deep cycle batteries. Switch settings give correct charge for wet, gel cell, or absorbed glass mat (AGM) batteries. Selectable 2- or 3-stage charging where 3-stage includes float charge. Manual equalize charge button. Manual or automatic temperature compensation. Optional temperature sensing probe to correct charge voltage for actual battery temperature. These chargers have full 20 or 40-amp output even with low-cost generators, which is important when using the charger with a 1000- to 3000-watt generator.
