10 REASONS TO BUY A CHARLES
C-CHARGER
®
BATTERY CHARGER
1. Fully automatic recharging
Batteries must optimally perform in the marine environment, yet they are
susceptible to a vast number of ills, including misuse. If used incorrectly,
they will begin to degenerate and battery cells may be lost. Charles
C-Chargers automatically recharge batteries to 100% with accurate
current and voltage regulation. In larger units, (30 amp - 100 amp models)
automatic temperature compensation guarantees fast, safe and efficient
charging.
2. Ability to simultaneously recharge and act as a power supply
C-Chargers function as both a battery charger and a power supply that
automatically boosts the 12/24V circuit to full capacity when input voltage
is low. Thus, DC loads such as lights or automatic bilge pumps can run off
of the battery charger if necessary.
3. Designed for safety
C-Chargers feature thermal, over-current, reverse polarity and ignition
protection. Units 30 Amps and above have built-in temperature
compensation. These safety features safeguard your power systems and
prevent expensive damage to onboard equipment.
4. Built to withstand harsh marine environments
All Charles C-Chargers feature UL recognized, corrosion-resistant
components and housings. All PC boards are conformal coated to
stabilize hydrolytes and withstand the marine environment.
5. One charger for any battery type
Charles’ new 5000 SP and 2000 SP Battery Chargers feature a battery
type selector switch. This feature allows the boater to set the charger for
either lead-acid, gel or AGM batteries. With Charles C-Chargers, you will
not need to continuously replace batteries. C-Chargers are designed to
accurately charge the batteries, neither under-charging nor over-charging,
thus prolonging battery life.
6. Marine UL Listed
Charles 5000 SP Series High-Frequency and 9000 Series Ferroresonant
Battery Chargers are Marine UL Listed. These chargers have passed
Underwriters Laboratories’ stringent tests including shock, vibration,
temperature and corrosion. Marine UL auditors randomly conduct
inspections of our manufacturing processes to ensure that Charles
products continue to be built to marine UL standards. This continuous
testing and inspection ensures that you are receiving the best quality
product.
7. Low emissions
All models are designed for low emissions to prevent electrical interference.
Thus, the chargers will not significantly interfere with onboard equipment.
8. Made in the USA
Charles is a vertically integrated company, manufacturing components
and finished goods in the midwestern United States. The employees of
our Casey, Illinois manufacturing plant take great pride in the quality of
their workmanship.
9. Industry’s best warranties
Charles’ 5000 SP series and 9000 series battery chargers feature a
5-year warranty that sets the standard for marine battery chargers.
10. Designed to improve battery longevity and save you money
C-Chargers are designed to accurately charge batteries, neither over nor
under charging them, to keep battery cells healthy. All electronic chargers
feature isolated outputs, eliminating the need for a battery isolator and
protecting one battery from discharging into another.
