FAQ
Can the SC1355 charge both 6V and 12V batteries?
Yes, the charger automatically detects voltage and adjusts its charging profile for both 6V and 12V battery types.
Is the charger safe for AGM and deep‑cycle batteries?
Absolutely. The smart algorithm includes specific modes to safely maintain AGM and deep‑cycle batteries without over‑charging.
What does reverse polarity protection do?
If the clamps are connected incorrectly, the protection circuit prevents current flow, protecting both the charger and the battery from damage.
Do I need to leave the charger plugged in continuously?
The unit must remain connected to AC power while charging or maintaining, but it will automatically switch to a low‑maintenance mode once the battery is fully charged.
How long does it take to fully charge a dead 12V battery?
Charging time varies with battery capacity, but a typical 12V, 45 Ah battery will reach full charge in approximately 30‑40 hours using the 1.5 A output.
