Is the ‘ultimate’ battery charger simply a dream?

Boat owners, RV adventurers and other heavy duty battery users dream of an ‘ultimate’ battery charger - one that can be counted on to charge 1, 2 or even 3 battery banks; one that blows other chargers out of the water with efficiency; one that has a huge input range and can be used across every kind of battery. Do you dream of a charger you can completely rely on to keep the good times going for the long haul?

Bainbridge Technologies now brings your dreams to life, with the exceptional features and benefits of the Sterling Power Pro Charge Ultra:

ultra efficient – innovative “power factor correction’ makes it 40% more efficient than traditional chargers. Not only does that save you money on energy costs, it also helps save our world by reducing your carbon footprint.

amazingly versatile – complete with 11 pre-programmed battery charge curves including LiFePO4, GEL, AGM, FLA and calcium, it can even be programmed (without a computer!) for any other type of battery - including lithium.

incredibly practical – featuring a 32 LED panel, it displays everything you want to know and need to know to give you complete peace of mind and control.

totally dependable –a huge input range (90 – 270v, 40 – 70Hz) supports it to smooth out even the dirtiest power for ultimate performance and protection against power fluctuations.

adaptable and durable – operates from marine shore or generator input and made of rust resistant marine grade materials to last a long, long time.

Does it sound too good to be true? It’s real, and it’s been recognised internationally as the ultimate charger with the Pitman Innovation Award (Sail Magazine, USA), the Premium Product 2010 Award (Sailing Today Magazine, UK) and the Innovation Award (IBEX 2010, USA).

Are you scared of the dark?

Volt__Volt_Meter_1 Of course not! But still, it’s good to know you’re not in the dark about the status of your power system; and, you’ve got to admit it’s comforting to know you won’t be left in the dark with flat batteries when you’re far off the beaten track!

The Baintech Volt Amp Meter sheds light on your power status. Compact, affordable and easy to self-install, this single unit lets you measure both the DC voltage and DC current (amp) of a single battery bank in real time. Besides all that, it features an easy-to-read backlit display which means you can easily read it from a distance at night - just in case you are a bit spooked about venturing out in the wilderness in the dark!

Keep your good times going with a Baintech Volt Amp Meter. Know with certainty the real-time status of your power system so you can take action to prevent being left in the dark before your batteries are dead. Illuminate your peace of mind with Baintech’s standard 2 year product warranty.

Our latest YouTube video shines more light on the subject of battery meters: how they work, how to use them and why to use them. Check it out, or go straight to our website to download a fact sheet.
