Hi Rumbo,
here's a
check list you can use for an informed buying decision:
***selectable charging current 12.5A/25A for inverter operation, and smaller batteries (inverter is powered by the alternator, charger takes care of house bank)
***multistage charging
***selectable charging end voltages 14.4V/14.8V for all VRLA, hybrid and calcium battery types
***two absorption-float-switch-over criteria for maximum battery protection: 3A current taper, and selectable 4hr/8hr overriding charging time limit.
FYI, this feature is handy if you have loads connected to the battery during charging (e.g. fridge).
***13.8V/25A power supply mode so you can operate your 12V appliances from 240V mains.
***two separate battery outputs, isolated from each other
***13.8V 1A constant current output for starting battery maintenance
***external battery temperature sensor for precision charging
***Australian Approval Number (you'd be surprised how many chargers don't have this which makes them illegal to operate, and you'd risk insurance wipe out in case of something going wrong, including fire and electrocution).
***EMC compliance - c-tick, for minimum electro-magnetical interference
***2 year warranty
***local technical/application support 24/7, free of charge
***designed by Waeco, for concurrent fridge operation
***best value for money

cheers, Peter
