It delivers 10 amps at 14.4V from any 100-240VAC supply, and like its bigger sibling it can restart a LiFePO4 battery whose BMS has latched off after a deep discharge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy this charger\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRated IP65, so it tolerates dust and low-pressure water jets. That is the main reason to choose this over the 20A model, which carries no published ingress rating.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10A output at 14.4V plus or minus 0.2V — a proper LiFePO4 absorption voltage, not a lead-acid profile applied to lithium.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree-stage charging: pre-charge, constant current, constant voltage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWakes BMS-protected batteries that have shut down, which is usually what has happened when a lithium pack reads zero volts.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM8 terminals plus a 30A Anderson connector.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLED indication for standby, charging, full and fault.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAluminium shell with an active fan, and protection against over-temperature, reverse polarity, short circuit and over-voltage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDraws only 2A from the wall, so it will run happily off a small inverter generator or a shared campground circuit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e10A or 20A\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis 10A unit is IP65 and takes M8 \/ 30A Anderson connections. The 20A unit is faster but has no published ingress rating and uses M10 \/ 50A Anderson.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOn a 100Ah battery, expect roughly ten hours from empty here versus about five with the 20A.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChoose this one for exposed or marine locations, for maintenance duty, and for banks up to about 100Ah. Choose the 20A for daily deep cycling or larger banks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorth noting: this 10A model is actually slightly heavier than the 20A (3.86 lb against 3.75 lb), most likely because of the sealed IP65 housing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eInstallation and use\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperating range is -4 F to 104 F.
