Samco Battery 12V 20A FCBC Inverter Battery Charger

An FCBC — Float Cum Boost — charger has two modes you select on the toggle: Boost recharges at up to 20 amps; Float maintains a charged battery within the charger's specified 13.5–13.8V range for standby maintenance, provided this voltage is appropriate for the particular battery. FCBC units can therefore remain connected between power cuts where the battery maker permits continuous float charging.

Start towards Minimum, then step up while watching the digital ammeter until the current matches what your battery manufacturer specifies. As a general reference, charging current is often around 10% of rated Ah capacity for many lead-acid batteries — roughly 20A for a 200Ah bank, 10A for a 100Ah battery, less for smaller ones — but the battery manufacturer's specified charging current always takes priority. From there the charger regulates the output: actual current varies with battery voltage, state of charge and condition — a deeply discharged battery draws more, a nearly full one draws less — and the meter shows the live reading throughout.

For many 100Ah–220Ah tubular inverter batteries, this 12V 20A FCBC charger is a suitable option, provided the battery manufacturer's charging-current and voltage specifications are compatible. It can push up to 20A on Boost for a full recovery, then maintain the bank on Float within the charger's specified 13.5–13.8V range between power cuts. Smaller 6A–15A chargers work but take roughly twice the time on a 200Ah bank, and the 15A SMPS has no Float mode.

Yes — that is what Float is designed for, provided the 13.5–13.8V range suits your battery. The correct float voltage varies with battery type, manufacturer and temperature, so check the figure your battery maker specifies before leaving one connected indefinitely. Too high a float voltage increases overcharge risk; too low lets the battery slowly self-discharge.

A normal charger only charges — switch it on, charge, switch it off. An FCBC charger also maintains: after Boost, Float mode maintains the battery within the charger's specified 13.5–13.8V range for standby maintenance, helping offset self-discharge when the specified float voltage is appropriate for the battery. That is why FCBC units are standard for DG sets, telecom banks and home inverters that must be ready at all times.

Yes, with the knob towards Minimum and an eye on the ammeter so the current stays within the charging current specified by the battery manufacturer — do not select current based solely on vehicle type or engine size. For a single car battery, though, the Samco Battery 12V 6A charger at ₹2,055 is the better buy — this 20A model earns its price on 100Ah+ tubular inverter banks, solar storage and workshops charging several batteries a day.

Estimated bulk charging time ≈ amp-hours to be replaced ÷ actual charging current, followed by additional time for the final charging stage. For example, replacing about 100Ah at an actual 20A average current gives roughly 5 hours of bulk charging, with additional time required for the final stage. Actual time varies with depth of discharge, battery age, condition and temperature.

Tubular, flat plate, VRLA, SMF and AGM lead-acid batteries are all supported. The 13.5–13.8V Float range suits GEL too, but GEL specifies a lower Boost voltage than flooded cells, so confirm the Boost setting with Samco Battery before charging one. Not intended for lithium-ion or LiFePO₄ packs.
