Merlin AbSo Smart Battery Chargers

AbSo Chargers by M-Power are compact, reliable and dependable fully adaptive 4 stage chargers. High quality internal electronics give one of the lowest AC ripple outputs available. Their outputs can be set for normal, simultaneous charging of up to three battery banks or set for priority charging. Each output may be set for a different battery chemistry and each output may also be current and voltage limited and set independently for temperature, making them perfect for charging either multiple batteries that differ greatly in size / chemistry or Lithium Ion Cells. A digital LCD display makes programming and understanding the charger simple.
