The SPECIALTY CONCEPTS CHARGER MODEL 2 (SC2) is a versatile, industrial quality
charge controller for the efficient use of photovoltaic energy and the protection of expensive
batteries. It is available for 12, 24, 36, and 48 volt systems with models for 30 amps of charge
current (optional 50 amps available for 12 and 24 volt units).
The SC2 consists of a series-relay battery charge controller in a wall mount chassis and a
system status light. The “CHARGE MODE” light indicates the charging condition. The SC2 is
housed in an anodized aluminum chassis and has a terminal block that accepts up to 10
gauge wire. A terminal adapter kit is included to increase wire size to #6.
