With two inputs available, the\nmain\/house battery will be charged from either the engine while underway, or\nvia the solar panels when stationary. The process to choose either engine or\nsolar is fully automatic and both functions are controlled from within the\nunit itself without the need for external relays.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDuring normal operation the ePOWER DC2DC+ Battery Charger will do a full\ncharge cycle to float stage on the house battery bank with ability to choose\neither GEL, AGM, Flooded, Custom Programmable or Lithium. Once float stage is\nreached the charger transitions to a power supply mode to support any on-board\nDC loads.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eMultistage Charging Process\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ePOWER DC2DC+ Battery Charger is a fully automatic, set and forget\ncharger. It is designed to quickly and accurately recharge your deep cycle\nbatteries utilising charger algorithms that help to maximise the life of your\nspecialised deep cycle batteries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ePOWER DC2DC+ Battery Charger features multistage smart charging\ntechnology that enables the charger to be connected to your battery bank\npermanently. With the input of multiple sources, you can be assured of\ncharging your batteries whenever underway; or when the sun is shining on your\nsolar array.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs dictated by battery manufacturer’s recommendations, deep cycle batteries\nrequire a multistage charge sequence for perfect, fast and accurate charging.\nThe Enerdrive ePOWER DC2DC+ smart charger delivers three primary charge\nstages.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e*\u003cem\u003eStage 1  *\u003c\/em\u003e– Bulk or Boost charge; The battery is charged at full rated\noutput current of the charger until the battery reaches its final charging\nvoltage, known as its absorption voltage. In this step, around 80% of the\nbattery is recovered as fast as possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e*\u003cem\u003eStage 2  *\u003c\/em\u003e– Absorption Charge; With the charger voltage held steady, the\nremaining 20% is replaced with the charger allowing the current to taper off\nas the battery approaches full charge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e*\u003cem\u003eStage 3  *\u003c\/em\u003e– Float; Finally, in the float stage the charger voltage is\nlowered and held at a constant and safe predetermined level. This prevents the\nbattery from being overcharged, yet allows the charger to supply enough\ncurrent to make up for the self-discharge losses of the battery, while\nsupporting any additional loads connected to the battery (such as DC lighting\nand refrigerators). This stage allows for the charger to be used as a DC power\nsupply.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eSmart Charging Feature\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ePOWER DC2DC+ Battery Charger will regulate its output based on the loads\nconnected to your battery bank. This function is important to maintain the\nlife of your battery bank as some battery chargers mistake loads for discharge\nand continue to keep the batteries in the bulk or absorption stage for\nextended periods of time, which will damage the battery bank. The ePOWER\nDC2DC+ Battery Charger has two methods of load based regulation to ensure your\nbattery charger transitions to float when it should do so.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eBattery Temperature Sensor\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eIncluded standard with all ePOWER Battery Chargers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eEco-Friendly Dual Battery Solution\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Enerdrive ePOWER DC2DC+ Battery Charger offers versatile applications,\nmaking it an ideal choice for a variety of settings. Its robust design and\nmulti-input capability allow it to be effectively used in caravan settings,\nwhere reliable power is crucial for long journeys and remote living. The\ncharger's input compatibility with both 12V and 24V systems also makes it\nperfect for 4x4 vehicles, supporting adventurers and off-road enthusiasts who\nrequire dependable battery charging in challenging terrains. Additionally, its\nsolar regulation feature and MPPT solar regulator make it an excellent option\nfor eco-friendly solar installations in remote locations or for those looking\nto reduce their carbon footprint. The charger's ability to handle different\nbattery types like GEL, AGM, Flooded, Lithium, and custom profiles extends its\nusability to marine environments, where it can provide reliable charging for\nboats and yachts. Its compact size and efficient cooling system further\nenhance its suitability for use in tight spaces and in varying temperature\nconditions, ensuring consistent performance in diverse applications.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Solar 4 RVs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45116016132250,"sku":"EN3DC40","price":570.31,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0617\/0414\/3002\/files\/995160.jpg?v=1721412671","url":"https:\/\/store-staging.caravancampingsales.com.au\/products\/enerdrive-12v-40a-dc2dc-epower-charger-mppt-dc-dc-100249587","provider":"Car Sales Sandbox","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
