The AMT12-2 has many names Trickle Charger, Battery Maintainer, Battery Saver, Reverse Charger, Top Up Charger, Battery Equaliser. Whatever you call it, its purpose is to keep a vehicle’s starter battery charged & protected from damage during prolonged periods of inactivity or storage. It does this by taking a small current from the leisure battery. Ideally, the leisure battery should be connected to a solar regulator or mains charger but, even if it’s not, the unit will continue to work as long as the voltages set are maintained.

The unit has a low current draw of less than 2mA on a 12V system & so presents a very small discharge load to the leisure battery. At 1Ah drain every 20 days the unit has negligible effect on the battery capacity and should easily cover the winter storage period. When a charging source either a mains Charger or a solar charger is connected to the auxiliary / leisure Battery the AMT12-2 Trickle Charger allows a maximum of 4A (usually considerably less) to flow from the leisure battery to the vehicle battery thus ensuring the leisure battery is charged first and the vehicle battery second.

The AMT12-2 works with all types of lead acid & lithium batteries, The Status LED gives feedback on the Trickle Charger Operation, State of Charge of the Vehicle Battery and Auxiliary Battery Conditions.
