The BCD605 battery charger provides up to 600 watts to charge a 12V or 24V battery system (1 bank) from a 12V source. Both the 12V source and the batteries under charge must share a common ground.

This all-new single board design incorporates state of the art switchmode technology for unmatched efficiency and ultra-quiet operation. Multiple stages of filtering reduce radiated or conducted noise to very low levels. Extra features include adjustable output voltage, audible and visual indicators for low input voltage, low output voltage and over temperature.

Safety features include reverse input protection, over-temperature shutdown, current limiting, short circuit protection with automatic recovery, input undervoltage shutdown, reverse battery protection and output overvoltage crowbar.

An optional remote control is also available. We are confident that you will get many years of reliable service from this Battery charger.
