The Epoch 4-Bank 12V Marine Battery Charger delivers four independent 12V / 10A outputs from one permanently mounted onboard unit. It is built for tournament bass boats that run three 12V batteries for a 36V trolling motor plus a fourth 12V cranking or house battery, giving every battery its own charging channel from a single AC connection.
Each bank has its own LiFePO4, lead-acid, or AGM setting, BMS activation control, and status display, so lithium trolling batteries and an AGM starting battery can charge side by side. The epoxy-filled IP67 enclosure, M8 ring terminals, and temperature-controlled waterproof fan suit permanent marine installation.
Key Features
-
Four independent banks: Four 12V outputs each rated at 10A, for up to 40A aggregate nominal charging.
-
True 10A per bank: Each channel is rated at 10A rather than dividing one output among all batteries.
-
Chemistry per bank: Set each bank to LiFePO4, lead-acid, or AGM with its own MODE control.
-
Per-battery series charging: Charging each 12V battery in an approved series system individually helps keep battery-to-battery balance.
-
Lithium BMS activation: Select Lithium mode and hold MODE for about 3–5 seconds to wake a compatible sleeping battery.
-
Automatic full-charge shutdown: Each bank stops when its battery is full and the indicator changes from red to green.
-
IP67 epoxy-filled enclosure: Sealed for onboard marine use with an aluminum housing, cooling plate, and temperature-controlled waterproof fan.
-
Built-in protection: Short-circuit, reverse-connection, overcharge, overtemperature, and no-load protection.
Charging Time Estimates
- Estimate: battery capacity ÷ 10A per bank.
- 50Ah battery: about 5 hours of bulk charging.
- 100Ah battery: about 10 hours of bulk charging.
- Real time is normally longer due to tapering, temperature, and battery condition.
Installation
- Integrated grounded AC cord with North American plug.
- 284 × 245 × 99mm (approx. 11.18 × 9.65 × 3.90 in) with 6.5mm mounting holes; M6 screws recommended.
- One red/black output pair per individual 12V battery.
- Replacement fuse: 15A for each 12V / 10A output.
Suitable For:
- Three 12V trolling motor batteries plus one 12V cranking or house battery
- Four separate 12V LiFePO4 batteries in bass boats, pontoons, and center consoles
- Mixed 12V chemistries with each bank set individually
- Tournament fishing setups needing overnight charging from one AC connection
- Approved 24V, 36V, or 48V series systems built from individual 12V batteries
Please Note: Use a correctly grounded 120V-class outlet within the 105–125VAC, 60Hz input range; not a universal 120/240V charger.
Please Note: Do not charge LiFePO4 below 0°C / 32°F unless the battery has approved heating or manufacturer permission. Never charge a frozen or damaged battery.
Please Note: Not fanless: maintain more than 30mm of clearance and keep the waterproof fan and cooling surfaces unobstructed.
Please Note: Disconnect AC power before servicing battery connections.
Please Note: The charger does not replace the boat's battery disconnects, branch fusing, or DC circuit protection.
Please Note: Every output is 12V only. Do not connect one bank across a native 24V, 36V, or 48V battery.
Please Note: Do not connect two banks to one battery to get 20A; use a single-bank charger rated for the higher current.
Please Note: Battery type cannot be changed while a bank is charging; disconnect that bank's DC ring terminals first.
Please Note: Confirm the supplied manual and each battery manufacturer's instructions before charging a series-connected bank with the jumpers in place.
Please Note: Do not submerge the charger or use it with a wet AC plug.
