KickAss Flexicharge 12V 16A ACDC Smart Battery Charger For Lead Acid, AGM & Lithium Batteries
Detailed Description

KickAss Flexicharge 16A Smart 12V Battery Charger For Lead Acid, AGM & Lithium Batteries Feature Overview 

Automatic 9 stage smart charging

The charger is controlled by a high-tech microprocessor that charges the battery in 9 separate stages. The microprocessor senses the requirements of the battery, and delivers the optimal current and voltage. This means your battery charges at maximum efficiency, every time.   

Fast charge 16A peak output
This charger feeds power into your battery at an impressive 16A per hour, meaning you’ll be fully charged sooner. The 9 stage smart charging technology ensures your battery will always receive the optimal current and voltage.  

Adjustable output for different battery sizes
The charger has adjustable amperage output for both large and small battery sizes, and can deliver precise charging at 4A, 8A and 16A. The only charger you’ll ever need!

Compatible with multiple battery chemistries  
This charger is compatible with most common battery chemistries, including AGM, Gel, Lithium, LiFePO4, and Lead Acid. Additionally, the adjustable amperage output allows you to cater to the unique requirements of your specific battery.  

Lithium activation mode
If your lithium battery has dropped below the safety voltage parameters of its BMS, you can use the charger’s Lithium Activation Mode and it will charge your lithium battery until it reaches the cut-in voltage and can re-start normal charging cycles. 

AGM recondition mode
The AGM recondition mode will restore the capacity and performance of your AGM batteries by breaking down any built up lead sulphate deposits. This extends the battery life and improves performance, especially after long periods of disuse or deep discharges.   

Multiple protection features
The charger includes multiple protective features to protect your valuable battery, including reverse polarity protection, short circuit protection, and overheating protection.   

Connect via Anderson connectors or alligator clips
For added convenience and versatility, you can connect via Anderson connectors or alligator clips. 

Fully compliant 
The battery charger is fully compliant with Australian standards, and offers maximum safety protection.
