About this Product

The DC-DC TS battery charger is especially suitable for trickle charging and recharging batteries in technical equipment (e.g. starter batteries for portable pumps or generators).  They are designed for charging lead batteries (wet, gel, and AGM) and have overvoltage and overheating protection. When doing so, the device is fed from the vehicle battery.  For faster charging, the battery chargers can briefly deliver a higher current.
