Renogy 12V 30A DC-DC On-board Battery Charger with MPPT for Gel, AGM, and Lithium Batteries Using Multi-Stage Charging, in RVs, Cars, Boats, Yachts, Recommended to Match with 40A ANL Fuse

Product Information

Sometimes DC to DC battery chargers are referred to as a BCDC. This is the abbreviation of: Battery Charger Direct Current, which has the same meaning as a DC to DC battery charger. The Renogy DCC50S 12V 50A DC Board Battery Charger is a little more powerful, providing 50 amps of power. It’s also a bit beefier, which could make it harder to fit in a smaller engine compartment. That said, it offers a few distinct benefits. For one thing, it works with state of the art AGM batteries. It also supports up to a 25-volt input, so it’s safe to use on a 24-volt solar system. This is a significant benefit for off-grid use, where power use spikes and zeroes out as people come and go. DC to DC battery chargers has custom charging profiles (Bulk, Absorption, and float) for different types of batteries. Bulk, Absorption, and Float stages of battery charging Safety and efficiency are crucial, and these chargers excel in both areas by isolating the starter and leisure batteries when no charge is present, preventing the starter battery from discharging. They also maintain a steady output current, regardless of input voltage fluctuations, ensuring a consistent and efficient charging process.

Allows you to charge your 12V second/auxiliary deep cycle battery on the go, simultaneously from solar and alternator (9-32V) inputs. Provides an advanced 3 stage charging process to produce a safe and comprehensive charge, a must for deep cycle batteries. third parties, including agents or sub-contractors, who assist us in providing information, products, services or direct marketing to you. This may include parties located, or that store data, outside of Australia; and But in the UK, PV output isn't great. So added a 60A rated relay to cut off the PV input, controlled by the D+ (engine on) feed on my Sprinter W906, so can charge LiFePO4 batteries at 50A from ALT input (need appropriately sized cable from starter battery) when the engine is running. Victron Energy, a popular solar system manufacturer, did a test where they charged a lithium battery with an alternator. Finally, a good DC to DC battery charger should have easy-to-read lights and indicators. This might seem like a purely cosmetic concern, but it’s not. When you’re bent over your engine at an awkward angle, fiddling with wires, you’ve got enough to handle. The last thing you need to worry about is trying to decipher whether or not the charger is properly connected. You should also be able to see the fault status at a glance. Some chargers make this easier by including a smartphone app. This allows you to monitor your charger status without opening up the hood. Even so, smartphone control is more of a convenience than a necessity. The main thing is that it’s easy to understand what’s going on during installation.Using award-winning Swedish technology, the CTEK D250SE is a fully automatic, 5-stage DC-DC (battery-to-battery) charger and MPPT solar charge controller in a single, compact unit and is the successor to the hugely popular D250SA model. It enables you to charge a second lead-acid or lithium battery on the move, ensuring it's ready to power your 12V systems when you reach your destination. It has separate inputs for alternator and solar, allowing your battery to be charged from either of these power sources or a combination of both, prioitising the solar input to ensure maximum efficiency. 5-stage, temperature-compensated charging with selectable charging profiles ensures that your battery is maintained in the best condition possible and its service life maximised. The charger will have all battery types flashing and the BULK and PULSE LED lights will remain on for 30 seconds before entering Recovery Mode

If power is available from both the alternator and solar panel the unit will automatically select what source to charge from. The blue LED indicates charging from the vehicle and the green LED charging from the solar panel. The unit will also operate from only one source without the other being present. All the above-mentioned functions are performed automatically and thus no need for manual intervention by the user. The easy to read and easy to see display gives you the chargers status in the blink of an eye. The coloured LED indicators show charging mode and charging stage so you know exactly how your batteries are being charged. You can take control with the soft touch mode button allowing you to set the battery type with ease. Multi Battery Type Compatibility - Including Lithium A DC to DC charger is one part of this Redarc off-grid power-management system.

The True 4-stage charging features BULK, ABSORPTION, FLOAT and PULSE modes with advanced algorithms enhancing the overall charging performance of auxiliary batteries. This ensures your auxiliary battery is charged the correct way enabling it to reach maximum charge capacity while also maintaining the battery to its optimum. When coupled with the powerful 25 Amp maximum output capability, it provides exceptionally fast and effective charging. Many chargers will adjust their output depending on your battery’s needs. Many can even adjust to different types of batteries, such as lithium-ion or absorbent glass mat (AGM). The more flexible your charger is, the less you’ll have to worry about battery compatibility. Renogy now has a DC to DC charger with two inputs. One for the auxiliary battery and one for solar panels. Dc to DC battery charger with additional solar input

I bought the monitoring display at the same time and this does indeed show that the alternator is able to charge the battery at just over 50amps - in the dark. The CTEK D250SE and Smartpass 120S combine as part of a power-management system. (image credit: CTEK) I am planning to use the Orion 12-112 30A DC-DC charger, but I am not sure if it can take solar panels or not, however as I am installing a regulator in front of the Orion I don’t see why it would differentiate between alternator current and that from my regulator. On the other hand if it also is a regulator it might be a problem. your thoughts and suggestions would be greatly appreciaated.Smart Alternator Compatible – The charger either has built in voltage sensing software or requires an ignition circuit.
