Xantrex TRUECHARGE™3 10A 3 Bank Battery Charger - 24V Product Description
Why Choose the TRUECharge3 for Your 24V Battery Needs?
Imagine powering up your marine vessel, RV, or off-grid setup without worrying about unreliable shore power or battery health. The TRUECharge3 10A 3-bank charger transforms chaotic charging into a smart, efficient process. Its compact design slips into tight spaces, while advanced microprocessor controls deliver precise power to three independent battery banks simultaneously. Whether you're topping off flooded lead-acid, maintenance-free AGM, gel cells, or modern lithium-ion packs, this charger adapts seamlessly to keep your systems ready for adventure.
Crafted for global travelers and demanding professionals, it handles fluctuating AC inputs from 90-265V and 47-63Hz—perfect for international cruising or sketchy marina outlets. Built-in surge protection shields your investment, and the intuitive display (with optional remote) lets you monitor progress at a glance.
Mastering Battery Longevity with Smart Multistage Charging
Traditional chargers can overcharge or underperform, shortening battery life. This unit employs a sophisticated three-stage algorithm that mimics natural recharging for optimal results:
- Bulk Stage: High-current surge restores up to 80% capacity fast, without stress.
- Absorption Stage: Fine-tunes the final 20%, preventing gassing or heat buildup.
- Float Stage: Maintains peak charge indefinitely, ready for instant use.
Switch to two-stage for simpler needs, or activate equalization for flooded batteries to dissolve sulfation and boost performance. Low-voltage recovery revives deeply discharged packs that others abandon.
Power Efficiency That Maximizes Your Resources
Power Factor Correction (PFC) is a game-changer—it draws clean, efficient power, reducing shore power draw by up to 30%. Run fridge, lights, and chargers without tripping breakers. Over 80% efficiency means less waste as heat, staying cool even in hot engine bays (up to 60°C operating range).
The drip-proof IP32 rating and multi-position mounting make it ideal for marine bulkheads, RV compartments, or solar sheds. Three positive terminals share one negative for tidy wiring, supporting banks from 20Ah upward.
Robust Protection for Peace of Mind
Safety isn't an afterthought—it's engineered in:
- Reverse polarity won't fry connections.
- Over-voltage, over-temperature, and circuit breaker safeguards halt issues before damage.
- Quiet mode for stealthy operation overnight.
- Parallel stacking (with remote) scales output for bigger banks.
Compliant with stringent global standards like UL, CSA, IEC, ABYC, and emissions limits, it's trusted in commercial fleets worldwide.
Real-World Applications and Installation Insights
Marine Enthusiasts: Charge house, engine start, and thruster batteries independently on long passages. Lithium compatibility future-proofs lithium house banks.
RV and Overland: Compact size (just 2.8 x 6.7 x 9.8 inches, 4.8 lbs) fits under benches; wide input handles generator quirks.
Commercial/Off-Grid: Stack multiples for solar backups or work trucks needing reliable 24V power.
Pro Tip: Mount vertically for best heat dissipation. Use temperature compensation settings for extreme climates—internal sensors adjust voltage automatically. Pair with quality cables sized to your bank for peak performance.
Frequently Asked Questions
What types of 24V batteries can this charger support?
It works with flooded lead-acid, gel, AGM, and lithium-ion (LiFePO4) batteries, offering tailored profiles for each to maximize lifespan and performance.
Does it support charging three separate battery banks?
Yes, with three independent DC outputs, it charges up to three 24V banks simultaneously, each monitored and controlled separately.
How does the three-stage charging benefit my batteries?
Bulk stage refills quickly, absorption completes safely, and float maintains without overcharging—extending battery life by preventing sulfation and gassing.
Can I use it in marine or humid environments?
Absolutely, its IP32 drip-proof design and multi-position mounting make it suitable for boats, RVs, or damp workshops.
What's the minimum battery size recommended?
A 20Ah bank per output is the minimum for optimal charging; larger banks benefit from the full 10A capacity.
Does it handle poor or international power sources?
Yes, accepting 90-265Vac and 47-63Hz, plus surge protection, it thrives on generators, inverters, or global grids.
Can chargers be paralleled for more power?
Parallel stacking up to two units is possible with the optional remote panel, doubling output for larger systems.

Three-Stage Charging
Multistage charging ensures batteries receive optimum charging, but with minimal wear and tear, regulating the voltage and current delivered to the batteries in three automatic stages:
- Bulk: Replaces 70–80% of the battery’s state-of-charge at the fastest possible rate
- Absorption: Replenishes the remaining 20–30% of charge, bringing the battery to a full charge at a slow, safe rate
- Float: Voltage is reduced and held constant to prevent damage and maintain batteries at a full charge for the remaining 20–30% of charge, bringing the battery to a full charge at a slow, safe rate
Power Factor Corrected (PFC) Charging
Less shore power is required for charging batteries, freeing up more usable AC power for running electrical devices and appliances and reducing the likelihood of tripping shore power breakers.
