About Truecharge™ 2 Battery Charger
Most Truecharge™ 2 Battery Charger models have three
outputs that share the full rated current enabling it to charge
three different batteries or battery banks that either have the
same chemistry or can tolerate the same charge sequence and
thresholds. Model TC1012 has only one output while model
TC1512 has two outputs that share the full rated current
output. The Truecharge™ 2 Battery Charger can perform
either three-stage charging (Bulk, Absorption, and Float) or
two-stage charging (Bulk and Absorption).
Important:
The battery banks are not galvanically isolated
from each other. They share a common negative as shown in the
diagram below.
The negative bus to chassis connection as shown below may not
be suitable in some applications.
