⚡ At a Glance
- • Charge Performance: 1 amp precision charging with automatic maintain, trickle and pulse desulphation
- • Best for: Motorbike owners, seasonal vehicle keepers and small-vehicle maintenance
- • Not ideal for: Users needing fast high-current charging or jump-start capability
Compact 1A charger supports 6V and 12V lead-acid and LiFePO4 chemistries. Integrated desulphation and temperature compensation allow safe, long-term connection and battery recovery.
Safe Long-Term Maintenance – with integrated thermal compensation and automatic float charging
An onboard thermal sensor monitors ambient temperature and adjusts charging voltage and current to prevent overcharge in heat and undercharge in cold. Automatic float mode reduces charge to a maintenance level once full charge is reached.
Continuous monitoring permits indefinite connection for upkeep without overcharging, keeping batteries healthy during storage periods.
Recover Deeply Discharged Batteries – thanks to Force Mode and precision pulse desulphation
Charge delivery starts from as low as 1 volt, with a manual Force Mode to revive batteries down to zero volts. Precision pulse charging detects and reverses sulphation and acid stratification through controlled pulses.
Neglected or flat batteries can be revived and restored, improving starting reliability and extending service life.
Wide Vehicle Compatibility – with support for multiple lead-acid types and LiFePO4 chemistry
Compatibility covers 6V and 12V lead-acid variants including AGM, EFB, Gel, SLA, VRLA and Start-Stop batteries, plus LiFePO4. Automatic detection and appropriate charging routines adapt to the connected battery chemistry.
One unit suits cars, motorbikes, lawnmowers, caravans, boats and more, reducing the need for multiple chargers.
