Is Progressive Dynamics Mighty Mini AC/DC Panel & Converter/Smart Charger a 4-Stage Battery Charger

Published 02/21/2020

Question:

Is this a 4 stage battery charger? Does it provide an equalization charge at 15.5 volts when needed? My converter is a 3 stage bulk, absorption and float only. Looking to extend my battery life - I have 2 Trojan 6 volt wired in series for 12 volt, 225 amp hrs.

The Progressive Dynamics Mighty Mini AC/DC Panel and Converter/Smart Charger - 45 Amp # PD4045KA is a 4-stage battery charger and does provide equalization, though not at 15.5 volts. The equalization is at 14.4 volts and occurs every 21 hours for 15 minutes.

This panel/charger also has a boost mode which is 14.4 volts, normal mode which is 13.6 volts and storage mode of 13.2 volts.

I have added a link to a video review as well as the instruction manual of the Progressive Dynamics Mighty Mini AC/DC Panel and Converter/Smart Charger - 45 Amp # PD4045KA.
