<h3>About Xantrex Technologies</h3><p><strong>Xantrex Technologies</strong> has been a defining name in mobile power electronics since its founding in 1983, headquartered in Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada. With more than three decades of design, engineering, and manufacturing experience, Xantrex has built a global reputation for delivering reliable, efficient, and intelligently designed power solutions to demanding industries.</p><p>From RVs and boats to heavy-duty trucks, emergency vehicles, military applications, and commercial fleets, Xantrex products are built to perform wherever reliable power is non-negotiable. Xantrex designs, manufactures, and markets power products used when on the move to provide auxiliary or emergency power — installed in boats, recreational vehicles, utility and emergency vehicles, heavy-duty trucks, and automobiles. That breadth of application speaks to a product engineering philosophy that prioritizes versatility without sacrificing performance.</p><p>Xantrex ensures its products are put through extensive reliability testing and certifies them to comply with various regulatory standards to meet or exceed the applicable requirements for safety, quality, efficiency, and environment. This commitment to rigorous validation has made Xantrex one of the most trusted names among professional installers and serious enthusiasts alike.</p><p>At the heart of the Xantrex lineup are <a href="/7660-xantrex-technologies-power-inverter-14297">power inverters</a> and <a href="/7660-xantrex-technologies-battery-charger-14307">battery chargers</a> — two categories in which the brand has consistently set benchmarks for the industry. Xantrex true sine wave inverters mimic utility grid power for smooth operation of appliances like microwaves and computers, while modified sine wave inverters provide reliable power for less sensitive devices. Meanwhile, Xantrex battery chargers stand out for their microprocessor-controlled, multi-stage charging process, which ensures optimal battery performance and longevity — operating at peak efficiency and requiring less AC input power.</p><p>The full Xantrex product catalog spans inverters, inverter/chargers, lithium-ion batteries, solar panels, battery chargers, and accessories — a complete ecosystem for mobile power management. Whether you need a compact unit for a weekend RV trip or a heavy-duty system for a commercial work truck running ZeroRPM idle mitigation, Xantrex has a solution engineered to match the challenge.</p><p>With more than three decades of design, engineering, and manufacturing experience, Xantrex power solutions offer an enviable mix of advanced technology and unmatched bankability. For anyone who needs power away from the grid — safely, cleanly, and consistently — Xantrex remains the benchmark brand.</p>

Product Details

The Xantrex C12 is a versatile 12-amp solar charge controller designed for photovoltaic systems in RVs, marine applications, and off-grid installations. This multi-functional controller serves as a PV charge controller, load controller, and automatic lighting controller in a single compact unit.

Advanced Three-Stage Charging:

The C12 utilizes pulse width modulated (PWM) charging technology with user-definable voltage parameters to optimize battery life. The three-stage charging process includes bulk, absorption, and float stages, with automatic equalization functionality to maintain battery health. An optional battery temperature sensor enables temperature-compensated charging for enhanced performance across varying environmental conditions.

Load Control and Lighting Functions:

Built-in load control circuitry features field-adjustable low voltage disconnect (LVD) and reconnect points to protect batteries from over-discharge. The five-minute low battery disconnect signal provides advance warning before shutdown. As a lighting controller, the C12 offers adjustable run times from two to eight hours, or can operate in dusk-to-dawn mode for automated outdoor lighting applications.

Key Features:

  • 12-amp charging capacity with PWM multi-stage temperature compensated charging
  • Automatic nighttime disconnect from battery to prevent reverse current
  • Electronic protection against short-circuit, overload, over-temperature, and reverse polarity
  • Field-adjustable voltage and battery set points for system customization
  • Conformal-coated circuit boards and powder-coated enclosure for harsh environment protection
  • Compatible with both negative ground and ungrounded systems
  • Suitable for remote village lighting, automatic outdoor lighting, and off-grid power systems
  • Two-year standard warranty

Ideal for solar installations requiring reliable charge management and automated load control in demanding environments.

Good so far

Fast and convenient!

Quick, easy pay, great price!

Simple. Great service!

this was a quick and easy order, although they came up in free shipping, i was charged for shipping. BUT, they were the least expensive for what i ordered on the entire web. thanks for being the lowest price!!!

good

Everything was quick and easy. With discount for shipping, best price I could find on the internet. EDIT: Only problem I had was that the two day express shipping I had was a day late. I also never received a tracking number before I called CS. That was q

fast and easy

Website very user friendly and efficient.

I ordered the palm tree license plate frame. I love it! I will definitely shop again for other car accessories!<br><br>
