What does it do?

In a nutshell it charges your extra battery system about 5 times faster than it would otherwise charge and puts about 50% extra use full power into them as well as increases the life of the battery by de-sulphating them .
For best effect use open lead acid batteries, avoid gel, sealed and A.G.M.. batteries. (even though open lead acid batteries are by far and away the best for fast charging and longer life using advanced charging units ,there is some times no choice but to use gel or A.G.M.; the unit has the settings to enable these to be charged within their charging curves).

Advantages of this unit:

How does it work?

The unit monitors the engine start battery. The unit will not start until the battery voltage exceeds 13 volts, then it waits for 2.5 mins to ensure that some charge is replaced after engine start. It then pulls the engine battery down to no less than 13 volts. This enables the engine battery to still receive a charge and ensures the alternator works at its full potential. To further ensure the engine battery is o.k. the unit stops every 15 mins for 2.5 mins.  The unit takes the 13 volts into the control box, then boosts this up to 14.8 (or what ever voltage the unit is set at) in order to fast charge the other set or sets of batteries. After a period of time ( calculated by the software) when the auxiliary batteries are full, the system will float the batteries at 14 volts, but always ensuring the engine battery comes first. It seems a simple idea, but its simplicity masks its complexity.
Other features included in this system include, remote control option, alternator temp. sensing, battery temp. sensing, ignition feed (if required), automatic start and shutdown. Its extra features and charging curves (software program) are very similar to the alternator to battery charger.

This unit can be used to charge extra battery banks from boat inboard engines, boat outboard engines, vehicle engines (cars, lorries, vans) and generator engines.

The dotted line shows the original system and how simple it is to connect the d/c charger.

Any source can be used. You can even use this system to charge from an old type battery charger; for example if you had an old constant voltage battery charger and you wished to convert it into a constant current on e then simply put one of these on the output, of if you have a single output charger and want a dual output then simply add one d/c charger to make a dual charging system.

There are some waterproof models being released soon which are designed with outboards in mind.

Charge a second battery from your starter battery without discharging the starter battery. 

Easy to fit!

With this new and innovative product you can charge a second battery from any other battery, no matter how the primary battery is charged (engine, generator etc.). At the same time the unit makes sure your primary battery is not discharged. 

Ideal for bow thrusters, motorhomes etc.

12V / 24V PRO-DIGITAL REMOTE CONTROL AND INFORMATION DISPLAY

This remote control gives active information on the L.C.D. display such as Alternator voltage, Battery voltage, Alternator temperature, Battery temperature, set up details, time remaining on high charge etc. This unit not only displays all the fault conditions but also gives a detailed text scroll on the screen about the faults and what to do. Thus, ensuring on hand information in the case of a problem, even with the advanced regulator being switched off, a voltage display and alarm function is still in operation, making the unit useful at all times. A simple plug in lead ensures simple plug and play operation.

The clever case design can either be panel mounted, flush mounted or surface mounted.
