G4106 12 VOLT 10 AMP AUTOMATIC INTELLIGENT BATTERY TRICKlE CHARGER
The info below is taken from the Gunson catalogue
Most cars today are fitted with low maintenance batteries which require almost no electrolyte topping up and in some cases, none at all. This has been made possible by the inclusion of the latest alternators which ensure that the battery is never subjected to too high a charging voltage. The charger used at home needs to be as sophisticated as the car’s alternator if you are to prolong rather than shorten the battery life. The problem with maintenance-free or sealed batteries is gassing, where electrolyte is lost with too high a charge. Chargers designed to charge a maintenance-free battery are often called automatic and cut off the voltage at between 13.8 and 14.5v to prevent gassing. Some automatic chargers allow the charger to be connected permanently to the battery, topping it up when necessary. This float charge is useful on a car that is laid up for periods of time. Added Value functions on Gunson battery chargers include: Internal cut-out for reverse polarity, good lead lengths and large, well insulated crocodile clips. Calcium batteries were fitted by manufacturers from 1997 onwards with SMART charging systems. Failure to replace new batteries with Cal/Cal could result in damage to the vehicle’s ECU.
The Gunson battery chargers range handle all types of batteries including these new Calcium batteries plus more conventional ones fitted to older vehicles.
This fully automatic battery charger is maintenance free and is suitable for Lead/Acid batteries.
Permanent float giving 2a rms continuous charging.
RANGES 7A RMS continuous
FEATURES Auto permanent float
TYPE Lead | Acid Maintanence free
- Compact electronic battery charger with heavy duty plastic casing.
- Intelligent charge control and selectable slow or fast charge output makes this unit perfect for long term maintenance of batteries.
- Suitable for lead-acid or low maintenance batteries, charger reacts continuously to battery condition and delivers whatever charge rate is required.
- Reverse polarity protection prevents inadvertent damage to charger.
- A meter display confirms the status of charger and an analogue ammeter gives an accurate indication of charge rate.
- This electronic charger can be connected to a battery for an indefinite period – the intelligent circuitry constantly monitoring the voltage and maintaining the charge level.
Max output current is adjustable up to 9 amps for 12V
Multi Stage charging provides constant current for less heat to prevent damage
Automatically switches to trickle charge after full charging.

- Use this mains powered Smart Battery Charger to safely charge any dead/flat/empy battery with power capacity between 6 – 100Ah Charger will take 11 hours to fully charge an empty 100Ah battery
- This 12V 10 Amp Battery Charger is ideal for use on smaller car/moped/motorbike/van/vehicle/motor batteries including Lead Acid, Gel, EFB and AGM (Absorbant Glass Mat) batteries. Simply connect Red and Black crocodile clips to battery charging terminals. Can charge from empty/flat or acts as a trickle charger
- 4 Stage Charging to restore empty and half empy batteries to full juice – Charger begins with constant current, then converts to constant volatage before trickle charging and finally disconnecting and shutting off when cells are full charged.
- Integrated power gauge shows how much power is being used and progress of charge. Constant current and voltage means that battery is heat protected and charging device is safe when charging.
