7 Stage Charging
Intelli-Charge battery chargers use intelligent electronics to monitor the charging process and deliver an advanced 7-stage charge to your battery. 7-stage charging is a very comprehensive and accurate charging technique that gives your battery longer life and better performance compared to using traditional chargers.
Multi Chemistry
The multi chemistry function allows you to set the charging profile to suit the battery's chemistry type (GEL, AGM, WET and Calcium). This ensures correct and thorough charging and maximises battery performance and battery life.
Adjustable Current
Intelli-Charge allows you to adjust and select the charge rate from as low as 2 Amps to best suit the size of your batteries.
Power Supply
In the larger models (25, 35, 50A, 8A/24V), power supply operates as a float charge (constant voltage) and is ideal for maintaining a battery while running an appliance or load from the battery without risk of overcharging the battery.
User Friendly Controls
All Intelli-Charge chargers feature user-friendly displays so you can quickly customise the charge settings and monitor the charger's performance. What's more, the chargers remember the last settings used even when the power has been turned off.
LCD Display & Remote Control
Control and monitor the charger's performance from a remote control display, allowing the charger to be mounted out of the way and out of sight. The battery charger and remote are synchronised for operation either locally or by remote.
Temperature Compensation
The temperature sensor monitors the battery temperature and adjusts (compensates) the charger's output to prevent overcharging. This is ideal for batteries used in warmer climates or environments.
Short Circuit Protection
Projecta Intelli-Charge battery chargers feature short circuit protection, even in Power Supply mode.
Designed to prevent the output leads from sparking during charging from accidental reverse connection or short circuit, Projecta gives you peace of mind that the charger will remain safe at all times.
Shock Proof & Dust Proof
Constructed from extruded aluminium, Intelli-Charge battery chargers are shock-proof, dust-proof and have been rigorously vibration tested and passed both a military and caravan standard.
In addition, the circuit boards have been conformal coated to protect against moisture and dust and other elements so they are suitable for use in a range of locations.
2 Year Warranty
Australian designed and engineered, quality is guaranteed and all battery chargers include a 2 year comprehensive warranty.
Know before you buy
Before you buy a battery set-up
A second battery runs your fridge, lights and charging without touching the starting battery. Modern vehicles and lithium batteries change how that system should be built.
- Smart alternators
Many late-model vehicles have smart alternators that vary their voltage. A simple isolator doesn't charge a second battery well from these, so a DC-DC charger is recommended (Redarc).
- Where lithium can go
Lithium batteries must not go in the engine bay: the heat is too much (Redarc, Enerdrive). They go in the cabin, tub or canopy.
- Charge it correctly
Lithium needs a charger with a lithium profile, and most can't be charged below 0 C unless the battery is heated. Don't mix battery brands or sizes in one system (Redarc).
- Sizing solar
Work out how many watt-hours you use a day and divide by 5 to 6 sun hours to size your panels. A panel laid flat can lose up to 38% of its output (Enerdrive).
Common questions
Do I need a DC-DC charger?
If your vehicle has a smart alternator, yes: isolators charge poorly from them. A DC-DC charger also gives the second battery the right charging profile, including for lithium (Redarc).
Can a lithium battery go under the bonnet?
No. Battery makers say lithium batteries can't handle engine bay heat and must not be installed there (Redarc, Enerdrive).
Lithium or AGM?
Lithium needs a charger with a lithium profile, a location out of the engine bay and, below 0 C, a heated battery to charge. Compare usable capacity and weight on each battery's specifications, and follow its maker's mounting guidance.
How much solar do I need for a fridge?
Add up your daily use in watt-hours, then divide by 5 to 6 sun hours (Redarc). Allow extra if the panel will lie flat or sit in shade.
Can I run my fridge off the starting battery?
You can, but you risk a flat battery and no start. A second battery with a DC-DC charger keeps the starting battery for the engine.
