This fully automatic microprocessor controlled 100 ampere engine start is perfect for emergency starting. It features a 5 ampere, 10-20 ampere fast charge which has self-adjusting, variable charge rates for everyday charging needs and maintaining your battery in peak condition. Charges and automatically desulfates and restores car, truck, RV, farm equipment, AGM, gel cell and deep-cycle batteries. A secondary feature is the 3 ampere slow charge for charging and maintaining small batteries, motorcycle batteries, ATV batteries, snowmobile batteries and lawn tractor batteries. With a built-in digital voltmeter/tester, you can easily diagnose problems. An auto voltage detection means the charger automatically determines whether the connected battery is a 6 volt battery or a 12 volt battery.

Best Rechargable Battery Systems Charge all types of 6V and 12V batteries quickly and safely Multiple Charging Modes

Choose from 3-amp, 5-amp, and 1230-amp charging modes to quickly charge all types and sizes of batteries. In Fast Charge mode, the charger monitors battery condition and adjusts charge rate upward or downward to prevent battery damage for car, truck, marine, RV, and farm equipment batteries. The 5-amp Slow Charge is a medium setting for continuous charging of batteries. A 3-amp Maintenance setting is a trickle setting for charging and maintaining small batteries, such as those for motorcycles, ATVs, snowmobiles and lawn tractors.

Auto Voltage Detection

The XC103’s Auto Voltage Detection automatically selects battery voltage (6V or 12V) and charges properly depending on the type of battery connected.

Fully Automatic Operation

The XC103 automatically switches from Continuous Charge to Float-Mode Monitoring, which allows the charger to maintain the battery when fully charged. The SC-1200A resumes continuous charging when the battery becomes discharged.

Reverse Hookup Protection

Reverse hookup protection safeguards car battery, computer, and other Instant Power uses from damage if the cables are connected to the wrong terminals. The XC103 will cease operation when clamps are reversed or touched together.

Built-In Voltmeter

The XC103 features a built-in voltmeter to help you diganose problems with batteries that are having trouble charging. Save time and take the guesswork out of charging older or damaged batteries.

Absolute Junk for 6V I very much wanted to like this charger. After reading the reviews it was clear that trying it was a risk. It was one of the few that looked like it would charge an Optima Red Top 6V AGM battery.Today I took my brand new (as in FedEx is still on the street) charger and hooked it to my equally new battery. Set it to “AGM” since that’s what I have. Hooked up the clamps and it recognized the battery as 6 volts. Set it to “turtle mode” (low rate charge) to see what it would…

Charger works great. The charger works great at charging up my auto car batteries. For a nearly dead battery (0.9 volts), it did not seem to charge as it should for the initial charge (shut down after a while and said it was at 80% charge). I then charged a 2nd time (actual charge at startup was then 40 %), and it charged it correctly. Most batteries charge within 1.5 hours time for autos. The LED yellow lights are very hard to see in the sunlight (they should change the color of these). My only complaint is that…

Bought it to do a job, using it properly and it’s doing that job well. Most of the complaints I’m seeing about this charger are user error. Nobody is born knowing everything, but please read the manual & do some research, battery chargers aren’t magical. One guy said it doesn’t give you an accurate voltage reading while charging.. That is because it will read the charge % and then switch to a 12 or 6, that tells you if it is in 12v or 6v mode, not the battery’s holding voltage, they do make different units that are 12v only and will switch between % and actual…
