2.0 Features
The Go Power! Smart Converter Charger (GPC) series power converter / battery
charger converts 120 V nominal AC to 13.6 V DC. As a power supply, its tightly
controlled regulation allows the user to operate any 12 V nominal DC load up to
the converter’s rated output current. As a battery charger, the converter will
maintain the battery, delivering its full-rated current when the battery capacity
falls sufficiently low. The voltage is set to deliver its maximum current for the
necessary period of time that minimizes undue stress to the battery caused by
heating of its cells. This helps to ensure the longest possible life of the battery.
Over time, as the battery nears its full capacity, the converter will float charge the
battery to prevent self-discharge of its cells.
2.1 Protection Features
The GPC MAX is designed with high-quality components to help ensure years of
continuous use. Multiple protection features for a long, trouble-free life protects
the GPC MAX.

Reverse Battery Polarity Protection.

Brown-Out Input Protection.

Over-Current Protection: Cycle-by-cycle peak limiting as well as rated
current limiting to maximize the life of the converter.

Over-Temperature Protection: In addition, it is designed with a unique
proportional fan control circuit. Fan speed is directly proportional to the
converter’s internal ambient temperature. This enables the fan to turn on and
off very slowly, minimizing unwanted fan-starting noise.

4 stage battery charging for battery longevity
