Ring SmartCharge RSC612 12V 12A Intelligent Battery Charger/Analyser
The Ring SmartCharge RSC612 Intelligent Battery Charger/Analyser is a highly sophisticated combination of a smart charger and analyser which can charge, analyse, repair and maintain batteries. It is compatible with 12V lead acid, gel, calcium, AGM and EFB batteries and, with a charging current of up to 12A, the RSC612 is suitable for charging and analysing batteries in vehicles with engine capacities up to 5.0L.
In terms of analysis, the Ring RSC612 Smart Charger gives readings for battery voltage as a percentage, battery capacity, battery start power and alternator output so the user can gain a comprehensive idea of his/her battery’s health whilst charging.
The Ring RSC612 Smart Charger uses a distinctive seven-step charging process to make sure that batteries are always charged safely and efficiently. Furthermore, the Auto Charge button automatically selects the best charge current depending on battery size whilst there are further options for charging and maintenance mode, winter charge mode, and repair mode. When Auto Charge is not engaged, the user can manually select charging current.
The bright digital screen shows results and battery status very clearly, including notifying the user when an error is detected. It is easy to navigate around the Ring RSC612 through the simple touch buttons. The instrument can even save the vehicle’s audio and electrical settings when the battery is removed. It comes supplied with jump leads and a 12 month warranty that can be extended to 5 years with registration at Ring’s website.
Proof of the Ring RSC612’s quality lies in its numerous awards from established names in the automotive industry including Auto Express, Automechanika Madrid and Land Rover Monthly. All in all, it constitutes an excellent way of analysing batteries whilst also charging, maintaining and repairing them with the same instrument.
