Page 7: Introduction
Introduction General Information Key Features Introduction General Information REGO 12V 60A DC-DC Battery Charger saves on installation time than the traditional battery charger. The pioneering bidirectional charging technology not only provides the most eﬀective way to charge your auxiliary batteries from the starter battery on the go but also recharges and maintains your starter battery when the auxiliary batteries are full.
Page 8: Charging And Activation Logics
Charging and Activation Logics Four Charging Stages Lithium Battery Activation Charging and Activation Logics Four Charging Stages REGO 12V 60A DC-DC Battery Charger has a four-stage battery charging algorithm for a rapid, eﬃcient, and safe battery charging. The stages include: Bulk Charge, Boost Charge, Float Charge, and Equalization.
Page 9: Lithium Battery Activation
Charging and Activation Logics Four Charging Stages Lithium Battery Activation and all the charge current would turn into heat or gas. In this case, the battery charger will reduce the voltage charge to smaller quantity, while lightly charging the battery. The purpose for this is to oﬀset the power consumption while maintaining a full battery storage capacity.
