It plugs into 100 to 240V AC at 47 to 63 Hz and delivers 14.4V DC at up to 10A through a three-stage charging process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's made for anyone with a 12V LiFePO4 battery who wants a dedicated charger, and the universal AC input works at home or on the road. The case is rated IP65 and weighs 3.86 lb.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRich Solar 12V 10 Amp LiFePO4 Battery Charger Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eThree-Stage Charging Built for LiFePO4\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePre-charge comes first: if the battery voltage is too low for full current, the charger feeds it a limited current until the voltage recovers. Constant current follows at 10A until the battery reaches a set voltage. In the constant voltage stage the current tapers off, and when the set point is reached, the charger turns its output off and charging is complete.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAutomatic BMS Activation\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA LiFePO4 battery's BMS can switch the battery off when it's deeply discharged. Rich Solar says this charger safely wakes up BMS-protected lithium batteries automatically, using the limited-current pre-charge stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eClear LED Status\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne LED on the DC end tells you what's happening.

If it overheats, it pauses and resumes charging once it cools to normal temperature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eRing Terminals and Anderson Connector\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DC output ends in a 35A Anderson connector, and the included Anderson-to-dual-ring cable has M10 ring terminals for the battery posts. You can leave the ring cable on the battery and simply plug in the charger when it's time to charge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eReal-World Applications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAt home or in the garage.\u003c\/strong\u003e Keep a dedicated charger for your 12V LiFePO4 battery and plug it in between uses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOn the road.\u003c\/strong\u003e Charge from any 100 to 240V AC outlet you have access to while traveling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecovering a sleeping battery.\u003c\/strong\u003e Wake a 12V LiFePO4 battery whose BMS has shut it off after a deep discharge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePractical Comparison\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eRS-BC12V10 Versus a General-Purpose Battery Charger\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany general-purpose chargers are set up for lead-acid batteries. The RS-BC12V10 is made only for 12V LiFePO4 batteries, with a 14.4V output, a pre-charge stage that can wake a BMS-protected battery and an automatic shutoff when charging is complete.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBuyer Guidance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eMatch the Battery\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse this charger only with 12V (12.8V nominal) LiFePO4 batteries, and check your battery's specifications against the charger's before you connect it. If the LED flashes red right after you connect, the manual points to reverse polarity, a short circuit or a battery that isn't a 12.8V lithium battery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eConnect and Place It Correctly\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConnect the DC cable to the battery, positive to positive and negative to negative, then the Anderson connector, then plug in AC power. Unplug the Anderson connector or the AC power when charging is done. Place it in a well-ventilated spot away from water, heat, sparks and flammable gas, and don't use it during a thunderstorm. Rich Solar advises against extending the output cable or using other input cables.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eThis May Be A Good Fit If\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou have a 12V LiFePO4 battery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou charge from a standard 100 to 240V AC outlet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou want a charger that can wake a battery after a BMS shutdown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou like the convenience of an Anderson quick connect\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCommon Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCan It Charge a Lead-Acid Battery?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Rich Solar lists 12V LiFePO4 batteries only, and the manual says to make sure the connected battery is a 12.8V lithium battery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes It Stop When the Battery Is Full?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.
