Adjustable Battery Charger

•Temperature compensated with control limits
•SCR Regulation – Charger provides a constant current and constant voltage charge as well as an excellent AC line regulation for precise control.
•Selectable Float Voltage – Allows battery voltage to be precisely set to the battery manufacturer specifications, within 0.10 of a volt.
•Positive Voltage Setting – Select only the voltage setting. No other setting required. If preferred, voltage can be pre-set at the factory.
•External Temperature Probe – Charger will monitor the exact battery temperature, which prolongs battery life and reduces maintenance caused by excessive heat and water loss.
•Dual Input Voltage – Charger has been designed for either 115 or 230 volts AC.
•Transient Protection – AC input and DC output have surge protection
•Battery Types – All maintenance-free cells, lead acid cells, and nickel cadmium cells

    A lot like a Rolls Royce ad.

    If you need to ask, you can't afford it. Bet the cheapest charger there is >$450 and a hundred twenty amp charger would be worth the same as a home living-room furniture ensemble. And I don't mean "You'll Love It At Leavitt" quality.

    This is NOT a consumer product.

    Overkill price and feature wise and downright dangerous to the battery.....and maybe the operator if not used correctly, which is likely in my opinion.

    Look...

    MANUAL CHARGERS ONLY were successfully used for like nine decades with lead acid batteries. Note the word successfully. It has meaning.

    Maybe our ancestors were more intelligent than some folks posting on this forum. Flick your wrist on the steering wheel on a 2-lane road and a grater-like Peterbilt radiator grill may fricassee it's way back to your rear axle. Or step out your door wrong and end up in a body cast for six-months.

    We all wish and pray that today's RV'er does not have fourteen too many brewskies and boil batteries to explosion. Jeez have mental powers actually degenerated to the point where folks need keepers? "Hey Harry, don't lick the receptacle!"

    God forbid. Ten tons hurtling down the road powered by a skull enclosing 25" of vacuum.`

    I give up...

    This would be an inexpensive charger for a Li-ion battery bank.

    Lmao. I have been tweeking that little screw on my power supply WHILE my convertor or charger were running too. The batteries cried, the little fans whirred away as we watched the 40 inch led with the heat on 70. I'm waiting for a knock on the door and hand cuffs. Battery abuser....... but sir, I paid for the batteries and I didn't want to run my $2,300 generator a long time and have to listen to it. WE DONT CARE!!!! You will not go over 14.4 v OR IT's JAIL TIME FOR YOU!!!!!
    The supreme council says NO MANUAL CHARGERS.

    It's a Plug-N-Play life now. Virtual reality physics and chemistry. Got cancer? Press that button repeatedly until it goes away. Got noisy neighbors? Insert credit card into slot on power post, press button and they go away. Don't want rain? Press the channel selector button until you find a meterologist with a kinder gentler forecast.

    Single voltage manual charger is lame for RV use even if temp compensated.
    Fairly low output to boot.
