3. Describe every charging source
Send the make/model and output settings of each charging device, including equipment that is built into a vehicle or boat. These checks help identify which information is missing before choosing a battery.
-
AC or shore power
List the charger’s output voltage and current, available battery profiles and connector type. Include its label or settings screen if you are unsure whether the profile is suitable for LiFePO4.
-
Solar input
Identify the solar controller and its battery-side profile and current limit. A panel wattage alone does not establish a suitable charging setup; include the controller model and battery-bank voltage.
-
Vehicle or other DC source
Identify the DC-to-DC charger and vehicle/source voltage, if present. For the 200Ah Heated model, the documented alternator route uses a DC-to-DC charger; do not treat this as approval to connect an alternator directly.
Charge-current limits to compare with your equipment
-
6Ah and 50Ah
6Ah: 6A maximum
50Ah: 25A maximum
The Sentorise 20A charger exceeds the 6Ah charging-current limit.
-
100Ah models
SuperMini, DIN / H190 and Group 31:
50A maximum continuous charge current
-
200Ah models
Standard and Heated:
100A maximum continuous charge current
These are model limits, not suggested default settings or a universal charger match. Chemistry, charging profile, connectors and bank configuration must also match. Open the charger matching guide.
For cold-weather charging, specify the exact heating version. Both 200Ah versions have low-temperature charge protection; automatic self-heating is a separate feature of the Heated model.
