With so many different battery types, including Enhanced Flooded or “Start-Stop” batteries, each requiring specific charging parameters; our customers started requesting adjustable smart chargers. We listened and developed the IBC6008 and IBC6008MSK in conjunction with both OE vehicle and battery manufacturers to fill a real need in this category. We are pleased to have approvals by all domestic OE vehicle manufacturers as well as European and Asian manufacturers for both chargers.”
