Power Train DC - DC 30 Amp 12V Battery Charger

A DC to DC charger overcomes the problems associated with a VSR or split charging systems, which can struggle to correctly charge an auxiliary battery perfectly, due to voltage drop or different battery chemistries.

A Powertrain DC to DC charging system still offers the same VSR switching technology, but adds a microprocessor controlled 3 Stage battery charger. This ensures your auxiliary battery can now be fully charged using the correct smart charging algorithm, overcoming voltage drop due to long cable lengths, and still leaving enough charge in the main battery to restart the vehicle.

Features:

• A simple push of a button to select the battery chemistry of the auxiliary battery type. Once selected, the charger remembers the chemistry selected and won’t change unless you re-select another type again
• 3 Stage smart charging which comprises of BOOST, ABSORPTION and FLOAT ensures that optimal charging is achieved using safe charging algorithms that guarantee longer battery life and more usable power
• Voltage drop over long cable lengths, between cranking and auxiliary batteries, is a thing of the past. The Powertrain DC to DC charger will boost the supply voltage to ensure your auxiliary battery can be recharged to 100%. Perfect for caravans or 5th wheeler applications
• The microprocessor controller will ensure the main battery is not discharged below 12.4 volts. This will ensure the main battery is left with enough voltage to start the vehicle
