The Moultrie MFA13464 dual voltage battery charger eliminates the guesswork from maintaining trail camera and game feeder batteries. This versatile charger handles both 6V and 12V sealed lead-acid batteries with automatic charging control that prevents overcharging damage.
What Makes This Different
Unlike single-voltage chargers that force users to buy separate units, this dual-voltage design handles the most common battery types used in outdoor electronics. The automatic shut-off feature prevents the battery damage that occurs with trickle chargers left connected too long. Smart charging circuitry adjusts amperage based on battery condition, extending battery life significantly compared to basic chargers.
Key Features
- Dual 6V/12V compatibility eliminates need for multiple chargers
- Automatic charging control prevents overcharging damage
- LED status indicators show charging progress and completion
- Heavy-duty alligator clips ensure secure battery connections
- Compact design stores easily in garage or workshop
- Works with sealed lead-acid, gel cell, and AGM batteries
- 6-foot power cord provides flexible positioning
Field reliability depends on properly maintained batteries, and this charger delivers consistent results across temperature ranges. Trail camera users report extended deployment periods when batteries receive proper charging cycles. The unit handles batteries from small 6V units in feeders up to larger 12V deep-cycle batteries in security systems. Weather-resistant construction withstands workshop conditions without performance degradation.
