This new microprocessor controlled switch mode charger will charge a battery in five separate stages.Thanks to the switch mode technology batteries are charged 1.5 times faster compared with a conventional battery charger.  It is also capable of refreshing and maintaining your battery.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe BC12051 charger will combat sulphation in the connected battery, thus lengthening its life span.Sulphate builds up on and between the plates when a battery is left unused, in either a discharged or partially charged state.Sulphate growth on the battery plates will then diminish the performance of the battery until it is totally unusable and has to be replaced.In the first charge stage, this battery charger sends a pulse charge current into the battery to break down the sulphate build up and lengthen the batterys life span.To prevent capacity loss, the chargers last stage is a float stage. This will maintain the battery in a fully charged state thereby preventing sulphate build up.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSupports all types of lead-acid batteries: SLI (Start, Lighting, Ignition), MF (Maintenance Free), VRLA (ValveRegulated Lead Acid), AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat), GEL (Gel Electrolyte).\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cli\u003e1st step: Combat sulphatation (pulse charge)\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e2nd step: Boost or bulk charge (max. current up to 75% of battery capacity)\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e3rd step: Equalize and analyze (pulsating low current until 100% capacity)\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e4th step: Top off (Maintain boost voltage with low current to prevent over charging).\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e5th step: Maintenance and float charge (Maintain full capacity at a lower float voltage). \u003c\/li\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe BC12051 in brief:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cli\u003eFive stage charging\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e1.5 times faster charging compared with conventional chargers\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eRefreshes batteries with the de-sulphation stage\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eMaintains batteries with the float stage\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eIP65 (dust, splash and rain proof)\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eSpark free connection\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eReverse polarity protection\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eOvershare protection\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eBattery clamp connection cable and M8 terminal connection cable supplied as standard\u003c\/li\u003e","brand":"Vetus","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45960980627679,"sku":"BC12051","price":152.34,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/mmorinoonlino.shop\/products\/vetus-bc12051-battery-charger-maintainer-12v-5a-5-stage","provider":"MMarine Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
