The Sterling Power PCU4815 is a 48V 15A mains battery charger from the Pro Charge Ultra range — a compact, switch-mode charger built to keep 48V banks properly topped up from shore power or a generator. It delivers a full multi-stage charge rather than a crude constant voltage, so your batteries are charged correctly and held at the right float.
