Sterling Power PCU2430plus Pro Charge Ultra Plus 24V 30A Marine Battery Charger

Sterling Power PCU2430plus — Pro Charge Ultra Plus 24V / 30A Marine Battery Charger

The Sterling Power PCU2430plus is a marine-grade AC battery charger built for 24V systems requiring fast, intelligent shore power charging across up to three battery banks simultaneously. At 30A output on a 24V system — equivalent to 720W — it's a high-performing unit for medium to large 24V house banks, equally suited to sailboats, powerboats, expedition vehicles, and commercial applications.

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 PCU2430plus 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.
