Description
- A one-bank on-board battery charger rated at 10-amps for 12-volt batteries, including marine, boat, starter, and deep-cycle batteries.
- Independently charge and control each battery bank with selectable charging modes – including 12V, 12V AGM, 12V Lithium, and 12V Repair Mode – for all types of lead-acid and lithium-ion batteries.
- An integrated thermal sensor detects the ambient temperature and alters the charge to eliminate over-charging in hot climates and under-charging in cold climates.
- Charges batteries as low as 1-volt. Or use the all-new force mode that allows you to take control and manually begin charging dead batteries down to zero volts.
- Automatically detects battery sulfation and acid stratification to restore lost battery performance for stronger engine starts and extended battery life.
- It’s not just a trickle charger; it’s an advanced battery maintainer. A fully automatic, worry-free battery charger for everyday use – 24/7 – with zero overcharge.
- A simplified mounting system allows for quick and easy installations in any direction – even up-side-down – with an integrated anti-vibration backing to isolate shock, vibration, and noise.
- A fully-sealed and waterproof onboard battery charger with an ingress protection rating of IP68, but has survived brutal life cycle testing, including thousands of hours underwater.
It is user-friendly and has a single button that can be used to switch between various charging modes, including a repair mode and a force charge option that I haven't actually used. Roadwarrior delivery time was very fast and their customer service team is excellent.
It will work with lead-acid and lithium (12v) batteries depending on the battery you intend to maintain or charge, making it ideal for boats but also excellent for RVs.
I particularly appreciate that this charger can force-charge batteries with an incredibly low voltage (less than 1V) and even repair older batteries.
The 10x1 is ideal if you just have one battery (installed permanently or semi-permanently). It works with many batteries, but not all at once. I advise something like the 10x2, 10x3, or 10x4 for simultaneous battery charging.
