Rugged Charger
Tough chargers for harsh environments. These controllers are pre-set to charge lead acid or gel cell batteries with Constant Voltage Regulation to your required voltage.
They can run electronics directly from a solar module without a battery.
They do not interfere with radio reception/transmission.
They do not use power unless input is on.
Designed for harsh environments and long life.
Used in the trucking industry to charge refrigeration unit batteries by using extra power from truck lighting wire harness, this extends the battery life and ensures the batteries are ready for use at all times. Also used to charge 6 volt GPS tracking batteries.
CAUTION Reversing input polarity will damage charger
