Oricom BC210 12/24V 20Amp Battery Charger and Maintainer

Professional-grade charging and maintenance for modern multi-chemistry battery systems

The Oricom BC210 Battery Charger and Maintainer delivers 20-amp charging capability across both 12V and 24V systems, supporting modern lithium chemistries alongside traditional lead-acid battery types. This advanced seven-stage charger adapts voltage output based on ambient temperature, preventing over-charging in summer heat and under-charging in winter cold.

The one-button interface simplifies battery type selection between lithium, AGM, gel, flooded, SLA, EFB, and LiFePO4 chemistries, while a three-position current switch provides adjustable charging rates for different battery capacities and conditions. Beyond standard charging, the BC210 includes a repair function specifically engineered to recover sulfated, weak, or idle lead-acid batteries through controlled pulse charging.

The LCD screen displays real-time voltage, current, battery charge level, and temperature data, keeping you informed throughout the charging cycle. Comprehensive protection systems guard against overcharge, reverse polarity, and short circuits. Whether maintaining workshop vehicles, recovering stored batteries, or managing touring setups with mixed battery chemistries, this charger handles cars, motorcycles, boats, caravans, and 4WD dual-battery systems with professional reliability.

Features & Benefits

Multi-Chemistry Compatibility — Supports lithium-ion, LiFePO4, and all lead-acid types in one unit, eliminating the need for separate chargers when managing modern dual-battery 4WD setups or mixed workshop fleets.

20-Amp High-Current Output — Delivers substantial charging power for larger batteries, reducing charge times for caravan, boat, and truck batteries while remaining suitable for smaller motorcycle and lawn equipment batteries.

Temperature-Compensated Charging — Automatically adjusts voltage based on ambient temperature, critical for Australian extremes where summer heat risks overcharge damage and winter cold reduces charging efficiency.

Battery Repair Function — Recovers sulfated, weak, or long-stored lead-acid batteries through controlled desulfation pulses, potentially saving batteries that conventional chargers would abandon as failed.

12V/24V Automatic Detection — Recognizes system voltage automatically, making this charger suitable for standard passenger vehicles (12V) and heavy commercial, marine, or dual-battery touring setups (24V).

Seven-Stage Intelligent Charging — Progresses through desulfation, soft start, bulk charge, absorption, battery test, reconditioning, and float maintenance stages, optimizing battery health and longevity beyond simple constant-current charging.

Adjustable Current Control — Three-position switch allows matching charge rate to battery size and condition, preventing overheating in small batteries while maximizing charge speed for large deep-cycle units.

Comprehensive LCD Display — Real-time data visibility eliminates guesswork during charging, allowing you to monitor progress, verify completion, and identify potential battery issues before disconnecting.

Workshop-Grade Protection — Multiple safety systems prevent reverse connection damage, short circuit hazards, and overcharge failures common with basic chargers, protecting both batteries and vehicle electrical systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use this charger on lithium auxiliary batteries in my 4WD?

Yes, the BC210 supports lithium-ion and LiFePO4 chemistries. Select the appropriate battery type using the one-button interface before charging to ensure correct voltage profile and protection parameters.

Will the repair mode work on all battery types?

No, the repair function is designed specifically for lead-acid batteries (AGM, gel, flooded, SLA, EFB). Do not use repair mode on lithium or LiFePO4 batteries as the desulfation process is inappropriate for lithium chemistries.

Can I leave this connected as a maintainer for stored vehicles?

Yes, the seven-stage program includes float maintenance mode, allowing safe long-term connection for vehicle storage, caravan off-season maintenance, or workshop battery preservation without overcharge risk.

What's the difference between the three current settings?

The three-position switch adjusts charging current to match battery capacity. Use lower settings for small motorcycle or lawn equipment batteries, higher settings for large deep-cycle or truck batteries to optimize charge time without overheating.

Does the charger work on completely flat batteries?

The charger can recover deeply discharged batteries, though severely damaged cells may not recover fully. The repair mode specifically targets sulfated batteries, but batteries with physical damage or complete cell failure will require replacement.
