Precision Charger Lithium (PCL) Features, Specifications and Manuals (2023-present)

Longer run times. Shorter charge times. That's the precision difference that keeps anglers on the water longer and puts more fish in the boat. Now, the next generation of this legendary line of chargers has been optimized for 12 volt lithium (LiFePO4) batteries. Precision chargers feature battery-type selection by bank, which now includes charge curves specially formulated for the high demands of lithium batteries, and can even wake these battery types from standby.

Features

  • Battery Type Selection: Each charging bank can be selected to your specific battery type (Lithium (LiFePO4) AGM or flooded lead acid) to guarantee a safe, protected charge
  • Automatic Temperature Compensation: Precision chargers sense and adjust to ambient temperature fluctuations to ensure a fast, accurate charge
  • Low-Line Voltage Compensation: When outlets don't put out the 120 volts they are supposed to, Precision Chargers compensate to deliver a fast, consistent charge no matter what
  • Battery Equalization: Cleans and protect your battery (flooded lead acid only) every time you plug in. Also activates a more rigorous, complete cleaning at the push of a button
  • Digital Control: Microprocessor-based design delivers a faster, more precise charge every time. Precision chargers can even wake dead 12 volt lithium (LiFePO4) batteries from standby automatically.
  • LED Indicator Lights: Inform of charge stage, maintenance mode status, error notifications and full charge
  • Automatic Multi-Stage Charging: Controls the voltage and current your battery gets throughout the charging cycle, ensuring a fast, safe and precise charge
  • Waterproof Construction: All on-board chargers are built to be waterproof, shock-resistant and vibration-resistant
  • 3-Year Warranty: All battery chargers come with a full 3-year replacement warranty
  • Supported Battery Types: 12v AGM, 12v Flooded Lead Acid, 12v Lithium LiFePO4

Specifications

When doing research on lithium batteries and trying to determine their compatibility with a Minn Kota PCL Charger there are two important battery specifications to consider Charge Current and Charge Voltage.
Charge Current-
This is the amp output of each bank is on the charger you select. Example MK 330PCL is 3 banks of 10 amps per bank, so the charge current is 10 amps.
Charge Voltage-
This is listed differently depending on the battery manufacturer. Some common terms used include Charge Voltage, Max Charge Voltage, Absorption Voltage. It important to ensure our Max voltage of 14.5V meets the specifications of the Battery Manufacturer.

Charging Profile for PCL Chargers

When doing research on lithium batteries and trying to determine their compatibility with a Minn Kota PCL Charger there are two important battery specifications to consider Charge Current and Charge Voltage.

  • Charge Current- This is the amp output of each bank is on the charger you select. Example MK 330PCL is 3 banks of 10 amps per bank, so the charge current is 10 amps.
    Charge Voltage- This is listed differently depending on the battery manufacturer. Some common terms used include Charge Voltage, Max Charge Voltage, Absorption Voltage. It important to ensure our Max voltage of 14.5V meets the specifications of the Battery Manufacturer.
  • Always check with your battery manufacture to verify the charging profile is compatible with your Lithium battery.
  • The Minn Kota Chargers are not compatible with single 24V and 36V Lithium Batteries.
