Sterling Power PCU1260plus Pro Charge Ultra Plus 12V 60A Marine Battery Charger

Sterling Power PCU1260plus — Pro Charge Ultra Plus 12V / 60A Marine Battery Charger

The Sterling Power PCU1260plus is the flagship 12V model in the Pro Charge Ultra Plus lineup — a marine-grade AC battery charger delivering 60A of output across up to three battery banks simultaneously. For large vessels, expedition vehicles, and any application with a substantial 12V house bank, this is the unit that maximizes shore power charging efficiency and minimizes time plugged in.

The Pro Charge Ultra Plus is Sterling's second-generation ProCharge platform, recognized by Sailing Today Magazine as the most flexible marine charger on the market. It runs on any global AC power source between 80–270V and uses Power Factor Correction (PFC) technology to reduce input current draw, generate less heat, and minimize electrical noise. A full 4-stage charge profile — bulk, absorption, float, and equalization — is applied automatically, with six preset battery type profiles plus two fully user-customizable profiles for custom absorption voltage, float voltage, and absorption time. Lithium charging profiles are included and fully programmable.

A battery temperature sensor is included and automatically compensates charge voltage for lead acid chemistries and provides high-temperature protection for lithium. The PCU1260plus is conformal coated for salt air and humidity, conforms to the ABYC drip test when mounted correctly, and uses non-ferrous metals throughout. Optional remote control (PCUR) available separately.
