Clore Automotive recently introduced the updated Model No. 1002, a 1.5-amp, 12-volt underhood battery charger/maintainer, from SOLAR.

Combining fully automatic operation, a permanent mount design and the ability to properly maintain the different batteries found in almost any car, truck, SUV, ATV, motorcycle or personal watercraft application, the 1002 is a perfect underhood battery charger/maintainer for busy fleets, specialty equipment owners and enthusiasts alike, according to the company.

The new 1002 utilizes advanced microprocessor-controlled logic to deliver a fully automatic, precisely controlled charging routine to optimally charge and maintain each battery serviced, enabling it to now join the PRO-LOGIX family of advanced professional chargers. It has the ability to properly charge virtually any lead-acid battery type, including conventional, AGM, gel-cell, spiral-wound, deep-cycle and marine batteries.

“The PRO-LOGIX 1002 adapts its approach based on the specific needs of each battery it services,” Clore Automotive said in a news release. “In addition to providing advanced battery charging, it offers an advanced battery-maintenance routine once the battery has reached full charge. This is ideal for extended storage applications, such as those found in fleet environments, collision repair and the storage of seasonal-use vehicles. Plus, it has no buttons to press or adjustments to make; simply plug it in and it starts working to restore battery capacity.”

The 1002 incorporates numerous features to make charging safer for the operator and the vehicle/battery  being charged, including over-voltage protection, reverse polarity protection and battery fault detection.

It  includes three output options: clamps, rings or 12-volt male adapter. It also includes battery-mounting hardware and a sealed-case design, enabling it to be permanently installed in a vehicle for easy recharging; simply connect an extension cord to its short AC input cord.
