Introduction

Truecharge+ Features

Truecharge+ is an advanced battery charger designed specifically for high
performance, deep-cycle lead-acid batteries. It is smaller and lighter than
many other chargers and can be installed or stored in small compartments.
It has AC to DC isolation, a surge protector, and many other safety
features which reduce potential shock and fire hazards.

20/40 Amp Continuous Rating

Truecharge 20+ delivers a 20 amp charging current and the
Truecharge 40+ delivers 40 amps for approximately 75% of the charging
cycle. The chargers only reduce the charging current below these rated
levels when the battery is approaching full charge or when there may be
overheating in high ambient temperatures. Because it delivers rated
current over most of the charge cycle, Truecharge+ charges your batteries
faster than many other chargers with a higher rating.
Many other chargers only deliver their rated charging current for a short
initial part of the charge cycle.

Simultaneous Three-Battery Bank Charging

Truecharge+ has three separate DC positive terminals to allow charging
of three separate batteries (or battery banks). The total current into the
batteries is a maximum of either 20 amperes or 40 amperes, depending on
the model, which is divided amongst the batteries according to their state
of discharge.
Note: The three outputs are not independently voltage regulated so it
is important to avoid systems with mixed types of batteries.

Wide Voltage Range Operation

Truecharge+ maintains the correct charging voltage for your battery when
the AC line voltage drops as low as 90 VAC, or rises as high as 135 VAC.
A surge protector in Truecharge+ protects it from surges and spikes on the
AC power line.
