Smart, Multistage Charging That Adapts to Your Battery

Delivering immediate power when you need it, the CMXCESM162 provides multiple charging modes in one compact device. It offers a 15-amp 12V charge for quick recovery, a 3-amp charge/maintain for 12V batteries, and a 2-amp charge/maintain for 6V batteries. The charger automatically selects the correct rate for charging or maintenance, and it can identify batteries in poor condition before continuing. This adaptive behavior aims to balance speed with safety, reducing the risk of overcharging and extending usable life where possible.

• 15A fast 12V charging for quick recovery
• 3A 12V charge/maintain for ongoing care

Safety, Diagnostics, and Convenience

Beyond charging, the CMXCESM162 includes features designed to protect both battery and vehicle during use. Reverse polarity protection helps prevent damage from incorrect clamp connections, while a built-in battery tester offers quick health checks.
