Automatic Switchmode Battery Charger - 7.5A 12/24V 8 Stage by HULK 4X4

Not every 4WD, boat or ute runs a single 12V system, and if you're juggling a 24V truck, tractor or piece of plant alongside your regular vehicles, keeping two separate chargers in the shed gets old fast. This HULK 4X4 7.5A switchmode battery charger handles both voltages in the one unit, running an 8-stage automatic charge and maintenance cycle so batteries stay topped up without you standing over them.

It's built to work across the batteries you're actually likely to own: wet cell, GEL, AGM, MF, calcium and EFB lead-acid, plus 12V lithium rechargeable batteries. The XB2 smart processor reads the battery, works out what stage of charge it needs, and steps through the cycle automatically, including a boost function for batteries that have dropped low. Even a genuinely flat battery isn't necessarily a write-off: the charger can rescue batteries down to 2V on a 12V system or 16V on a 24V system before starting the main charge.

Connection is straightforward, with interchangeable battery clamps and eyelet terminals that plug straight into the charger lead, so you can leave permanent terminals fitted to a vehicle or boat and just clip the lead on when needed. There's also a dedicated power supply mode (5A at 13.6V) if you need a stable 12V feed rather than a charge cycle. The IP65-rated case and 2-year warranty round it out as something built to live in a shed or tool box rather than a display cabinet.

Features

  • 8-stage fully automatic charge and maintenance cycle, so there's no risk of overcharging even left connected long-term.
  • Wide battery compatibility: Wet, GEL, AGM, MF, Calcium and EFB lead-acid batteries, plus 12V lithium rechargeable batteries.
  • Maintains batteries from 18Ah up to 240Ah.
  • XB2 smart processor automatically diagnoses, recovers, charges and maintains the battery through the cycle.
  • Battery rescue function for drained batteries, down to 2V on 12V systems and 16V on 24V systems.
  • Dedicated power supply mode delivering a steady 5A at 13.6V.
  • Constant current charging with boost and memory functions, plus spark-proof, short circuit and reverse polarity protection.
  • Interchangeable battery clamps and eyelet terminals that plug straight into the charger lead.
  • IP65-rated housing and a 2 year warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this charger switch automatically between 12V and 24V, or do I need to select it manually?

It's rated for both 12V and 24V systems, with the XB2 smart processor diagnosing the battery and applying the appropriate charge profile as part of its automatic cycle. Refer to the manufacturer's instructions for correct connection when charging a 24V system.

Can a 12V charger actually charge a 24V battery safely?

A charger built only for 12V output isn't intended for 24V batteries, since it can't supply enough voltage to properly charge them. This HULK 4X4 unit is rated for both 12V and 24V systems, so it applies the correct voltage and stage sequence for whichever you connect, rather than being a fixed 12V-only charger.

What battery types is this charger compatible with?

It's designed for wet cell, GEL, AGM, MF, calcium and EFB lead-acid batteries, as well as 12V lithium rechargeable batteries.

What size batteries can it maintain?

It's rated to maintain batteries from 18Ah up to 240Ah.

Can this charger revive a battery that's completely flat?

It includes a rescue function for drained batteries, provided they're still above 2V on a 12V system or 16V on a 24V system. Batteries that have dropped below these thresholds, or that are damaged, may not be recoverable and are worth having assessed by a battery specialist.

Can I use this as a power supply instead of a battery charger?

Yes, it has a dedicated power supply function that outputs a steady 5A at 13.6V, separate from its charging cycles.

Is this charger safe to use outdoors or in a damp environment?

It carries an IP65 rating, meaning the housing is protected against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets from any direction. It isn't rated for submersion, so avoid locations where it could sit in standing water or be fully submerged.

What is a switchmode battery charger, and how is it different from a standard charger?

A switchmode charger uses electronic switching circuitry to regulate its output rather than a heavy transformer, which generally makes it lighter and more efficient at converting mains power into a precise charging current. This HULK 4X4 unit uses that switchmode design to run its 8-stage automatic charge cycle across the 12V and 24V battery types it supports.
