Need Help?

Our experts are here to help you find the lithium battery for your needs.

This charger is built specifically for 12-volt LiFePO4 (Lithium Iron Phosphate) batteries. It applies the correct charge profile for lithium chemistry, which differs from the profile used by lead-acid, AGM, and gel chargers. Using the wrong charger type on a LiFePO4 battery can shorten its lifespan or cause permanent cell damage over time.

Operation is straightforward. Plug the cord into any standard 120-volt AC wall outlet. Connect the ring terminals to your battery's positive and negative posts. The charger monitors the battery state, adjusts current as the battery fills, and shuts off automatically when charging is complete. No settings or adjustments are needed.

Typical uses for this charger:

  • Anglers who run a 12V trolling motor on a bass boat, aluminum fishing boat, or pontoon and want a reliable overnight charge after a day on the water
  • RV and travel trailer owners who return from a boondocking or dry-camping trip and need a dependable way to recharge their 12V lithium house battery from a standard outlet
  • Boat owners running 12V house battery systems for lights, fish finders, and onboard electronics
  • Off-grid cabin and solar storage setups that need a reliable AC backup charger when solar input is insufficient
  • Van and overland vehicle owners with 12V lithium house battery banks

The aluminum alloy housing dissipates heat without a fan — the charger runs silently. It operates from -40 degrees Celsius to +60 degrees Celsius, covering cold-weather winter storage conditions and hot summer dock or campsite use. The IP67 rating means it is fully sealed against dust and can be submerged in up to one meter of water for 30 minutes — practical protection for a boat deck, RV storage bay, or outdoor use in rain.

Features

Correct LiFePO4 Charge Profile
Designed for Lithium Iron Phosphate battery chemistry. Will not apply the high-voltage equalization pulses used by lead-acid chargers, which can cause irreversible damage to LiFePO4 cells.

Plug-and-Play Operation
Plugs into any standard 120V AC outlet. Ring terminal connectors attach to battery posts. No configuration or settings required — the charger manages the full charge cycle automatically.

Automatic Shutoff When Full
Overcharge protection stops charging when the battery reaches capacity. No damage from leaving it connected past full charge.

Reverse Polarity Protection
If the leads are accidentally connected to the wrong terminals, the charger will not operate. No sparks, no damage to the charger, no damage to the battery. Reconnect correctly and charging begins normally.

IP67 Waterproof and Dustproof
Fully sealed against dust and rated for submersion in one meter of water for 30 minutes. Suitable for marine environments, outdoor storage compartments, and use in rain or high-humidity conditions.

Aluminum Alloy Housing. Passive Cooling
The housing material dissipates heat without a fan. Silent operation. Lightweight and durable against vibration and impacts during transport and mobile use.

Shock-Resistant Construction
Rated for mobile environments including RV compartments subject to road vibration and boat hulls subject to wave movement.

Up to 95% Charging Efficiency
Less energy lost as heat during charging means faster charge times compared to less efficient chargers.

Wide Operating Temperature Range
Functions from -40°C to +60°C. Note: standard LiFePO4 batteries with basic BMS units will reject charging below 0°C to protect their cells. Epoch batteries with built-in self-heating will accept charging in sub-zero conditions.

Seven Protection Layers

  • Reverse polarity protection
  • Overcharge protection
  • Over-temperature protection
  • Ambient temperature protection
  • Output overvoltage protection
  • Output overcurrent protection
  • Output short circuit protection

Estimated Charge Times by Battery Size

Estimates assume a low state of charge (approximately 10-15% remaining). Actual times vary based on starting charge level and ambient temperature.

Battery Capacity Estimated Charge Time
50Ah - 12V 3.5 to 4.5 hours
100Ah - 12V 7 to 8 hours
200Ah - 12V 13 to 15 hours
300Ah - 12V 20 to 24 hours

For 300Ah batteries, Epoch's 50A charger will significantly reduce charge time. The 15A charger is well suited to batteries in the 50Ah to 200Ah range.

FAQs

No. This charger is designed for LiFePO4 (Lithium Iron Phosphate) batteries only. Its charge profile does not match lead-acid, AGM, or gel battery chemistry and will not charge them correctly. Equally important: never use a standard lead-acid charger on a LiFePO4 battery. Lead-acid chargers apply high equalization voltages that can permanently damage lithium cells.
Nothing harmful. The reverse polarity protection prevents the charger from operating if the leads are reversed. No sparks, no damage to the charger, no damage to the battery. Disconnect the leads, reconnect them correctly, and charging will begin normally.
Yes. The IP67 rating certifies that it is completely sealed against dust and can be submerged in one meter of water for 30 minutes without damage. It is suitable for marine environments, outdoor RV compartments, and use in rain or humidity. The aluminum housing also withstands vibration from boat movement and road travel.
The overcharge protection stops charging automatically when the battery reaches full capacity, so overnight charging does not risk overcharging. For storage periods longer than a day or two, disconnecting the charger once charging is complete is the recommended practice.
The charger itself operates down to -40 degrees Celsius. However, standard LiFePO4 batteries should not be charged below 0 degrees Celsius (32 degrees Fahrenheit) unless they include a built-in self-heating system. Epoch batteries with the self-heating feature accept charging in sub-zero conditions. If your battery does not have self-heating, its Battery Management System (BMS) will typically prevent charging below freezing to protect the cells, the charger will simply pause until conditions allow.
Many RV owners have found that built-in converters marketed as lithium-compatible will revert to an AGM or lead-acid charge mode after a power cycle and do not consistently apply the correct LiFePO4 profile. A dedicated standalone charger like this one is always set to the correct mode and will not accidentally switch profiles. Many Epoch users keep this charger as their primary or backup charging method even when their RV has a lithium-capable converter installed.
Yes, in general. The LiFePO4 charge voltage profile is standardized across manufacturers. Any 12V LiFePO4 battery with ring terminal connections should be compatible. Always confirm your battery manufacturer's recommended charge voltage before use.
Not from separate connections. The ring terminals connect to one battery or one parallel battery bank at a time. If two batteries are wired in parallel (same voltage, combined capacity), the charger will charge the entire bank, but total charge time increases because the 15A output is shared across the full combined capacity.
No fan, no noise. The aluminum alloy housing passively dissipates heat. This is useful when charging in a bedroom slide-out, a quiet campground at night, or inside a boat cabin.
The charger carries a 1-year manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship, honored by Epoch Batteries. This is separate from the Epoch battery warranty, which covers batteries for 11 years. Warranty is valid through Epoch and authorized Epoch dealers only. Please read Warranty Tab for full details.
