It delivers a rated 60A and 750W with a three-stage charge of bulk, absorption and float. It supports AGM, flooded, gel and lithium batteries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's made for RVs, commercial vehicles and boats that carry a second battery. The input and output are isolated, and the charger stays off until the engine runs, which helps protect the starter battery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRenogy 12V 60A DC to DC Battery Charger Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStarter Battery Protection With D+ Ignition\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe D+ ignition terminal tells the charger when the engine is running. The charger won't power on or operate until the D+ wire is connected to an ignition circuit that sees 12V, so it doesn't drain the starter battery. The D+ cable isn't included, and Renogy recommends 18-16 AWG copper wire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTraditional and Smart Alternators\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRenogy says the charger works with smart or traditional alternator types.

For lead-acid batteries, you pick an absorption voltage of 14.1V, 14.4V or 14.7V and a float voltage of 13.2V, 13.5V or 13.8V. For lithium, there is no float stage, and you choose from 12.6V to 13.0V or 14.0V to 14.6V settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eLithium Activation\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf a lithium battery's protection circuit has shut it off after over-discharge, the charger applies a small current to try to wake it.

Fans cool the unit. Connect the LC terminal to a 12V source to cut the current limit to 50%, or 30A for this model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eReal-World Applications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRV house batteries.\u003c\/strong\u003e Charge the house bank from the starter battery while the engine runs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBoats.\u003c\/strong\u003e Renogy lists boats and yachts as uses.
