Smart 12 V battery charger with engine start
The Metra TP108MB is a fully automatic 12 V smart charger and maintainer that also provides a 25 A engine-start boost. It supports STD, AGM, GEL, Wet, MF, EFB, calcium and deep-cycle lead-acid batteries in cars, boats, RVs and powersports equipment. Four selectable rates (2 A, 10 A, 25 A and AUTO) let you match the charge to the battery condition. The unit connects via NEMA 1-15 mains plug and included battery clamps.
Suits owners who need one tool for charging.
Ideal for garages and workshops that service mixed 12 V lead-acid types and want automatic desulfation, winter mode and long-term maintenance without supervision. Not suited for 6 V systems or lithium chemistries, and buyers who only need a low-current maintainer may find the 25 A capability unnecessary.
Maximum 25 A charge rate for fast turnaround
The 25 A peak current can bring a 100 Ah battery to full charge in under 3.5 hours at 85 % efficiency. Lower 2 A and 10 A settings are available for smaller batteries or overnight maintenance. Input is 120 V AC 60 Hz and the charger weighs 5.00008410216 lb.

Questions about this item
How do I hook up the Metra TP108MB to a 12 V battery and what is the step people often miss?
Connect the AC plug to a 120 V 60 Hz outlet, clamp the red lead to positive and black to negative, then press Start within 30 seconds or the unit will auto-start with the last used setting.
What part of the charger will need attention or replacement after extended use?
The battery clamps and the NEMA 1-15 power cord are the only wear items; inspect the clamp jaws for corrosion and the cord insulation for cracks every few months.
What limit appears first when the charger runs at its 25 A maximum for a long period?
The 85 % efficiency ceiling means roughly 15 % of input power becomes heat, so the internal thermal protection will trip before the 25 A output can be sustained indefinitely.
