Enerdrive ePOWER DC-to-DC & Solar Charger 12V · 40A

Description

Enerdrive ePOWER 12V 40A DC to DC Battery Charger for Australian conditions. Charges from alternator or solar. Supports GEL, AGM, Flooded, Lithium batteries.

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.
