Introduction
Introduction
General Information
REGO 12V 3000W Inverter Charger is your off-grid smart living center that revolutionizes
comfort when you live in your off-grid home or RV. The inverter charger can invert DC to AC
and directly supply power to the load, and charge the battery when it is connected to the utility
power.
In addtion, it supports different types of batteries such as AGM, Gel, Sealed Lead Acid (SLA),
and Li. The inverter charger can switch power supply from the utility power to batteries within
10 milliseconds, ensuring a smooth mode switch without powering off the load. The lever style
connectors make AC IN/OUT connections simply and easy. They simplify installation and
shorten the installation time.
The inverter charger can be connected to Renogy devices and smart accessories via Bluetooth
or RV-C. When the inverter charger works in association with the DC Home app, you will
have the same system monitoring wherever you go on your smartphone. With advanced pure
sine wave technology, the inverter charger can protect and extend the life of your electronic
equipment and loads.
Key Features
zRobust and sleek design
The housing of the inverter charger is made of steel plates to ensure its firmness and a more
fashionable appearance.
zIntuitive LCD and LED
You can view and check the status displayed on the LCD and LEDs, and modify parameters of
the inverter charger according to the actual use.
zHigh quality waveform with little harmonic distortion
Advanced Pure Sine Wave technology provides high-quality AC power equivalent to the grid
power. The voltage increases and decreases in a smooth way with little harmonic distortion.
zMulti-stage Battery charging
Up to three stage battery charging including bulk, boost, and float as well as equalization for
select battery types
zConfigurable charging current
The maximum charging current of the inverter charger is 75A, adjustable at 5A each time. The
charging current can be ajusted to satisfy your daily use.
zNine preset battery voltages and custom options
The inverter charger is compatible with nine types of batteries to meet your needs in daily use.
You can also customize the battery parameters of the inverter charger.
zAutomatic generator start
The inverter charger is equipped with a set of NO and NC dry contacts, which are used to
connect the generator with automatic start and stop function and automatically charge the
battery, facilitating your daily use.
General Information Key Features

Introduction
zPeak conversion efficiency >90%
The peak conversion efficiency is more than 90% during operation, which reduces the energy
loss.
zMultiple electronic protections
The inverter charger is equiped with undervoltage protection, overvoltage protection, overload
protection, overtemperature protection, and short circuit protection.
