Australian designed and owned, the 12v high Powered Outback Battery Charger developed by Christie Engineering Pty Ltd is a portable petrol powered charger.The charger has been designed as a compact, lightweight and very fast and efficient battery charger for farmers, campers, fishers and generally all outdoor enthusiasts. This is the smallest Christie Engineering Outback Battery Charger, which uses a 50cc, 1.8 kw 4 stroke Honda engine accompanied by a 55 amp Bosch alternator, that has a 2 stage high or low voltage regulated charge rate by the flick of a switch on the control panel. All models feature short circuit protection, the unit is also safe only producing 12 volt DC. A super bright LED readout displays precise charging units in amps and weighing only 13 kilograms, the Charger must be a strong consideration for extended camping/fishing trips where large loads are commonplace.The Charger can supply sufficient charge to a flat battery in approximately 5 minutes to jump start a car or tractor and campers will find the unit ideal when flat batteries can charged up to 55 amps per hour (max). This allows continuous use of portable fridges, lights etc without the fear of exhausting the power supply and having to move on from your favourite camp spot.

Features include:

Environmentally friendly Honda 50cc 4-stroke engine.
Bosch 55 amp internally regulated alternator, so no overcharging of batteries occur.
Manual 2 stage voltage charge rate, Low or high charge rate, by the flick of a switch on the control panel.
Short circuit and high voltage spike protection included.
The super bright LED amp meter display shows precise charging indication, or our basic model features an LED charge indicator light.
Lightweight and portable, weighing only 13 kg.
High current Leads, 3m long with alligator clamps are supplied with the chargers.

Ideal uses:

Our chargers can supply enough charge in as little as 5 minutes to jump start machinery or vehicles and get moving again.
Campers can run car fridges for 24 hours and charge their batteries in as little as 1 hour.
12 Volt lighting or other appliances can be powered in emergency situations.
Ideal for the marine industry, backup for small solar powered sites, emergency services, earthmoving contractors, mobile mechanics, or anyone working in the outback.
Note, some wet cell deep cycle batteries will not accept a fast charge & may require trickle charging for a long period of time. For an efficient system with faster recharge times AGM or cranking batteries can be used.

Whenever you’re handling or working with a lead-acid battery, consult your vehicle and battery owners’ manual for instructions and safety precautions.

Lead-acid batteries contain hydrogen-oxygen gases than can be explosive and sulfuric acid that can cause severe burns.
