Frequently Asked Questions
What’s new about TRUEcharge3 compared to TRUEcharge2?
The TRUEcharge3 introduces significant upgrades over TRUEcharge2, including lithium-ion battery compatibility, and a 5-year warranty (up from 2 years). It also features Quiet Mode for near-silent charging.
Does the TRUEcharge3 support lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries?
Yes, the TRUEcharge3 supports multiple battery chemistries, including lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4), Gel, AGM, and Flooded batteries. The charger is optimized for Xantrex lithium batteries, but also offers a custom mode for other lithium battery brands, allowing users to adjust settings as needed.
Is the TRUEcharge3 loud? Will it disturb me while sleeping?
While charging batteries in normal mode, the charger will emit <50 dB, but it comes with Quiet Mode, which turns off the fan and reduces charger output for silent charging. This feature is ideal for environments where noise must be minimized, such as overnight on a boat or RV. Quiet Mode can be activated via a button on the charger or through the remote panel and automatically reverts to normal after 9 hours.
Can TRUEcharge3 charge multiple battery banks?
Yes, the TRUEcharge3 is a 3-bank charger, meaning it can charge up to three battery banks at the same time. However, all the batteries must be of the same chemistry, voltage, and amperage to ensure safe and effective charging. Detailed wiring instructions for multi-bank setups can be found in the TRUEcharge3 user manual. Click here to view documents.
Can the TRUEcharge3 charge both 12V and 24V batteries?
No, the TRUEcharge3 is designed for either 12V or 24V systems, depending on the model. A 12V model can only charge 12V batteries, while a 24V model is specific to 24V batteries. You cannot mix and match voltage systems on a single charger.
Is the TRUEcharge3 certified by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)?
Yes, the TRUEcharge3 complies with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) energy efficiency standards, ensuring that it meets or exceeds regulatory requirements. This certification not only ensures energy savings but also helps reduce your environmental footprint by lowering fossil fuel emissions through efficient energy use.
What protection features does TRUEcharge3 offer?
The TRUEcharge3 is designed with multiple built-in protection to ensure safe operation. These include:
- Reverse polarity protection to prevent damage in case of incorrect wiring.
- DC over-voltage protection to protect against power surges.
- Over-temperature protection to prevent overheating during extended use.
What can the TRUEcharge3 remote panel do?
The TRUEcharge3 remote panel lets you turn the charger output on/off, view the battery’s state of charge (SOC), and check the charge current. It also displays fault information, adjusts battery temperature settings (cold, warm, hot), and configures the maximum output current from 20% to 100%. It supports parallel charging and activates Quiet Mode for silent operation. Click here to view the TRUEcharge3 Remote Panel.
