Enerdrive DC to DC Battery Charger with Solar Input - 12V / 40A

Description

Meet the Enerdrive ePOWER 12V 40A DC to DC Battery Charger, designed to withstand the harsh Australian environment and provide multiple source charging for your DC systems. With its fully automatic multi-stage, multi-input capability, this charger can power up your batteries from either an alternator or solar panels via the built-in MPPT Solar Controller. No need for external relays - the ePOWER DC2DC has got you covered!

While on the go, your main/house battery will be charged by the engine, and when stationary, solar panels take over. It's fully automatic and hassle-free! The charger can handle GEL, AGM, Flooded, Custom Programmable, or Lithium batteries, and even supports on-board DC loads once the float stage is reached.

This smart charger ensures your battery bank's longevity by regulating output based on connected loads, preventing damage from overcharging. With two methods of load-based regulation, you can trust your ePOWER DC2DC+ to maintain your battery bank's health.

Features

• Two totally independent DC Inputs for both engine and solar regulation charging one house battery bank output
• DC M6 screw terminals that will allow for large battery cable connection between all sources
• A dedicated Maximum Power Point (MPPT) solar regulator
• The same battery algorithms as included in Enerdrive AC mains ePOWER battery charger. GEL, AGM, Flooded, Lithium and the ability to create a full custom profile
• Vehicle input allows for either 12 or 24v and a maximum solar input of 45V/800W
• 40A+ output up to 40+C with thermo controlled fan cooling
• Fully programmable LCD display to show which source is charging the battery along with charger status, voltage and amperage
• Temperature sensor included with charger for more accurate battery charging
