What Is This Charger?
The Samco Automatic 12V 24V 15 Amp is an automatic SMPS battery charger for 12V and 24V lead-acid batteries — car, tubular inverter, truck, tractor, forklift, solar, and DG set. It auto-detects battery voltage (12V or 24V), controls output current from 0 to 15 Amps via a 6-step knob, and operates in two modes: Boost (fast charge and dead battery recovery) and Float (battery maintainer for indefinite safe connection). A live digital ammeter shows real-time charging current at all times.
SMPS (Switched Mode Power Supply) technology makes this charger lighter and more efficient than transformer-based chargers. The wide input range of 160–280V AC is designed for India's fluctuating grid voltage. Compatible with lead-acid, tubular, flat-plate, SMF, VRLA, and GEL batteries from 4Ah to 200Ah. Manufactured and sold by Samco Battery, Delhi, established 2000.
A 100Ah tubular battery charges from empty to full in approximately 10–12 hours at 10A. A 150Ah tubular battery takes approximately 14–16 hours at 10A. At the maximum 15A setting, charge times reduce by roughly 30–40%. The ammeter reading near 0A confirms charge completion.
Designed & quality-tested under the supervision of Arender Siali — CECRI-trained electrochemist (Central Electrochemical Research Institute, Karaikudi) and SAEST (Society for Advancement of Electrochemical Science & Technology) life member. Founder of Samco Battery, Delhi (est. 2000). Over 25 years of SMPS and FCBC charger manufacturing experience. Every Samco charger is tested for CC/CV profile accuracy, float voltage stability, short-circuit and reverse-polarity protection, and Indian grid compliance (160–280V AC) before dispatch.
How It Works — Boost, CC/CV & Float
Three intelligent charging stages that protect your battery and extend its life
BOOST MODE — Fast Charge & Dead Battery Recovery
- Delivers up to 15A bulk output for rapid charging
- Recovers dead & deeply discharged batteries
- Variable 0–15A via 6-step knob — match battery size
- Digital ammeter shows live charging amps in real time
- Ideal for workshops, garages, fleet use
CC/CV TAPER — Know When Battery Is Full
- Constant Current phase charges at your set amps
- Automatically transitions to Constant Voltage phase
- Ammeter tapers from set amps toward zero as cells fill
- Safe CC/CV profile for all lead-acid types
- No overcharge risk in normal use
FLOAT MODE — Battery Maintainer for Long-Term Use
- Regulated low trickle current — no overcharge risk
- Float voltage prevents electrolyte loss and plate damage
- True battery maintainer — safe 24×7 unattended use
- Keeps DG set & vehicle batteries always start-ready
- Suitable for seasonal storage and standby systems
How to Charge a Dead Battery — 6 Steps
Recover any deeply discharged 12V or 24V battery — car, inverter, tractor, truck
Connect the Clamps
Charger off. Red clamp to battery positive (+), black to negative (–). Reverse polarity protection is built in, but avoid reverse connections.
Set Switch to BOOST
Flip the FCBC switch to BOOST. Activates full charging current. Float mode alone will not charge a dead battery — Boost is required.
Start at Low Current (1–3A)
Turn the 6-step knob to the lowest setting. Low current prevents thermal stress and allows a deeply discharged battery's voltage to build gradually.
Increase Current Gradually
Once the ammeter shows steady acceptance, increase knob. Car & inverter batteries: 6–10A. Truck & industrial (100Ah+): up to 15A.
Ammeter → 0A = Battery Full
Current drops automatically as battery fills (CC/CV taper). Near-zero ammeter reading = fully charged. No timer needed — the ammeter tells you.
Switch to FLOAT for Maintenance
Flip to FLOAT. Safe trickle current indefinitely — no overcharge risk. Leave connected 24×7 for DG set, inverter, or standby vehicle batteries.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which battery voltages does this charger support — 12V or 24V?
It supports both 12V and 24V lead-acid batteries with automatic voltage detection — no manual selection needed. Compatible with car, inverter, truck, tractor, forklift, solar, and generator batteries from 4Ah to 200Ah capacity.
What is the price? Is GST and shipping included?
The price is ₹5,575 — all taxes included, with FREE shipping across India. Delivery in 2–7 business days to any city, town, or village in India. Dealer and wholesale discounts available — contact us on WhatsApp for bulk pricing.
What does the Boost and Float switch do?
The FCBC switch toggles between two modes. BOOST delivers 0–15A charging current for fast charging and reviving dead or deeply discharged batteries. FLOAT delivers a safe low trickle current that maintains a fully charged battery indefinitely as a battery maintainer, with no overcharge risk.
Can it charge a dead or deeply discharged battery?
Yes. Set to BOOST mode and turn the knob to low current (1–3A) to slowly recover a deeply discharged battery. As battery voltage recovers, gradually increase current. This manual control allows recovery of batteries that standard auto-cutoff smart chargers reject.
How does the 0–15A 6-step variable knob work?
The rotary knob has 6 positions spanning 0–15A. Use low settings (1–3A) for small batteries — bikes and CCTV backups. Use mid settings (6–10A) for car and inverter batteries. Use full 15A for large truck or industrial batteries (100Ah+). The digital ammeter shows exact real-time amps at all times.
How fast is delivery across India?
Orders are dispatched same day from our Delhi store at Gokhale Market, Kashmere Gate. Delivery in 2–7 business days to any city, town, or village across India. We ship to 19,000+ pin codes via India Post Speed Post and approved couriers.
Does this work as a tubular battery charger for Exide or Luminous inverter batteries?
Yes — it is a dedicated tubular battery charger. The CC/CV charging profile is safe for all tubular batteries including Exide InvaTubular, Luminous Red Charge, Amaron Inverter, Okaya, and Livguard. Set Boost mode at 6–10A for 100–150Ah tubular batteries; switch to Float when full. Float mode maintains charge indefinitely with no overcharge risk.
Is Cash on Delivery (COD) available across India?
Yes. Cash on Delivery is available across India — pay when the charger arrives at your door. No advance payment needed. We ship to 19,000+ pin codes across every state and union territory. Orders placed before 5PM are dispatched same day from Delhi.
How long does it take to charge a 100Ah or 150Ah tubular inverter battery?
A 100Ah tubular battery (Exide InvaTubular, Luminous Red Charge, Amaron) charges from empty to full in approximately 10–12 hours at 10A. A 150Ah tubular battery takes approximately 14–16 hours at 10A. At the maximum 15A setting, charge times reduce by roughly 30–40%. The digital ammeter shows current tapering toward 0A as the battery nears full charge.
Is it safe to leave this charger connected overnight or 24×7?
Yes — in Float mode only. Float mode delivers a low, regulated trickle current that maintains a fully charged battery indefinitely without overcharging. Designed for 24×7 unattended connection — ideal for DG set starter batteries, inverters, security systems, vehicles in storage, and telecom sites. Do not leave in Boost mode indefinitely; Boost mode is for active charging only.
What is the difference between an SMPS charger and a transformer charger?
An SMPS (Switched Mode Power Supply) charger uses high-frequency switching electronics instead of a heavy iron-core transformer — making it lighter, more efficient, and cooler. It operates across 160–280V AC, suitable for India's fluctuating grid. This Samco charger additionally offers variable current control (0–15A), a Float battery maintainer mode, and a digital ammeter — features absent from most basic transformer chargers.
