Htrc chargers are pretty good. I had their p20. But it charges at 20A only for 5 minutes, after that switches to 15A. So 20A is a fake. Also their fans work as jet turbines and vibrate. Absolutely cannot use it at home with lifepo4, especially at night.
Thanks for the useful information you had in your video , I am about to buy HTRC P20 However I wonder how long it will take to charge 120 AH gel battery
This charger didn't quite make the output it was rated for at 20 amps. Would you rather go with the 30 amp charger? Thank you for the review and the video!
Volts to low for lithium ..volts rating on display is actually lower than it says won’t charge over 13.6 volts for 12 volt battery. Oddly you didn’t even test that. I give you 1 star
Make a review for Foxsur fpt-250. Very interesting charger. 12/24V 2-5-10-15-22A current selection. It is declared as 25A, but gives 21-22A maximum. Good enough charger with Boost & Repair features. Boost allows you to quickly charge the dead battery for 200sec to start your car. It has very quiet fan, that can be used at home with lifepo4. But I have replaced wires with 12AWG and XT60 connector to connect what I need except alligator clips. Also I have drilled more holes in the plastic panel behind the screen for better air circulation, this made the charger much cooler. And dropped some thermo glue on the buzzer, cause it is very loud for inhouse usage. What I did not like and cannot fix in this charger is that it does not remember the last charging settings. Every time you switch it on it starts at CAR/4A. So it starts desulfation when connected to lifepo4. I need to quickly reconfigure charging modes every time.
If your solar charge controller is wired to the battery and you attach the leads from the AC charger to the battery, will it kill the charge controller? Do you need to detach the charge controller or otherwise remove it from the circuit?
I've charged multiple batteries with Charge controllers and battery AC chargers attached and have never had any issues. As long as the AC charger matches the voltage of the battery you should be good. Thanks for the comment.

Just got a p20 "pro" searched for a review on it and found yours which was really good. Thanks for doing the review it helped.
Glad I could help! Thanks for the comment.

I didn't notice mine drop amperage, but you're right about the fan. Super loud! Thanks for the comment.
The amps depends the soc of the batttery
Thanks for the info and the comment.

If you discharge the battery to 50% then you're looking at 3-4 hours of charging. Thanks for the comment.

Yes, absolutely. The 30A charger works great. Thanks for the comment!

Good point. I believe this is a variable voltage constant current charger. The voltage will go up as it's charging.
Good review. Thanks
Thanks for watching!

HTRC has a pretty good rating, i was looking into buying their charger that can charge a 36 volt battery.
I really don't have any complaints again HTRC. They run cool and work well. Thanks for the comment.
Don’t drop it…have fun stay safe.
I'lll make sure not too! Thanks for the comment.
@@OffGridBasement I’ve had the same battery charger for 30 yrs and never dropped it.
