Xantrex XC3012, XC5012, XC1524 and XC2524 Battery
Charger Features
The XC Series provides the following standard features:
• three full current rated, independently controlled outputs which enable it to
charge three different batteries or battery banks. Each bank can be of a different
battery type, stage of charging, and temperature compensation
• one battery temperature sensor (BTS) is included. Optional BTSs may be
purchased for the other two outputs, to provide complete optimal battery
charging to each battery or bank
• battery monitoring functions while in float mode or rest mode
• correct charging voltage for your batteries when connected to almost any single
phase AC power outlet in the world
• invertable remote display panel which can also be removed from the charger
and mounted up to 20 m (65 ft) away for remote control and monitoring
The XC Series provides the following protection features:
• true “fuseless” reverse polarity protection to guard against continuous reverse
battery polarity without charger damage
• AC over voltage protection shutdown
• over temperature protection shutdown
• electronic current limiting for protection against short circuit on the unit’s
output
• built-in protection against accidental connection to a higher battery voltage, up
to 24 VDC
• battery temperature compensation to 0 °C (32 °F) (with BTS installed)
• ignition protected rating, enabling installation in engine spaces
• isolated design to reduce shock hazard
• automatic charge resumption after AC power interruption
