• From the Company that created the worlds first smart Battery Charger: Tried and tested, cutting edge technology used by over 40 of the world’s most prestigious vehicle manufacturers.
• Patented Desulphation Function and Reconditioning Mode: Unused batteries lose their power and their life is shortened through sulphation. The charger analyzes the state of the battery and, recovers the battery and its power. Reconditioning mode restores stratified and deeply discharged batteries.
• AGM Mode: Dedicated charge program for AGM batteries for a faster charge time and to maximise battery life.
• Built-In Temperature Compensation: Ensures the most efficient charging in extreme hot or cold weather conditions.
• Patented Float/Pulse Maintenance: Makes the charger ideal for long-term battery maintenance.
