Victron 18A 12V DC to 12V DC automatic multi-stage intelligent battery-to-batter
DC to DC battery charger and converter for fast charging of a 12V battery / battery bank from another 12V battery / battery bank with its own energy source or converting a DC input to a stable DC output at a set voltage. Featuring Bluetooth connectivity for monitoring and changing settings from your mobile device. Galvanically isolated to prevent ground leakage currents.
Photonic Universe is an official distributor of products from Victron Energy - the globally renowned manufacturer of high quality hybrid power electronics. Victron Energy chargers have a longstanding reputation for their outstanding reliability, innovative design and superior build quality.
Function:
This intelligent battery charger is designed to automatically charge one 12V battery / battery bank from another 12V battery / battery bank with its own energy source. For example, if one 12V battery / bank is being regularly charged by solar / mains/ alternator, this 18A DC-to-DC battery charger can pull energy from this battery bank to charge a second 12V target battery or battery bank. The target battery / bank will be charged at a maximum of 18A, using an intelligent multi-stage approach with full overcharge protection.
This compact and lightweight battery to battery charger can be easily integrated or retrofitted into any 12V system, allowing the user to transform a single battery system into a dual battery charging system. For example, in a vehicle or boat this charger can take energy from the engine starter battery (which is constantly topped up by the alternator) to charge a leisure or auxiliary battery / bank.
In a solar charging system, the charger allows easy conversion from a single battery solar charging kit to a dual battery charging kit, without the need to upgrade the single battery solar charge controller to a dual battery model. This is perfect for systems with a high solar input, where a suitable dual battery solar charge controller is expensive or difficult to procure.
The Orion Smart charger can also operate in a DC conversion mode, where the output voltage will be adjusted to a stable voltage with minimal electrical noise. This allows the running of sensitive DC equipment from a battery or other DC power source which may change voltage during charging or use.
