Maximizing Battery Life with a Reliable DC to DC Charger

When choosing a DC to DC battery charger, it’s important to pick the right kind for your needs. It’s no secret that a quality charger will power up your battery faster and more effectively than a cheaper one. These smart chargers are perfect for 12V electrical systems in camper vans, caravans, pop tops, and camper trailers with dual battery setups. They are the most effective way to maintain and charge an auxiliary battery using the alternator. If you're planning a trip with your caravan or RV, make sure your vehicle is ready with a reliable battery charger. Our team of professionals ensures that top-of-the-range models, such as those from Redarc and Thunder, are part of our collection.

Why are These Battery Chargers Beneficial?

DC to DC battery chargers work by isolating the auxiliary battery circuit from the vehicle’s alternator. This makes the alternator see it as an accessory feed, like camping lights. The battery charger then boosts the main battery’s charge, enhancing its charging ability. This allows you to achieve 100% charge after a day’s driving. It’s crucial to keep the battery on your caravan or RV close to 100%. Keeping it below 100% may reduce its life. If you’re not using your caravan or RV monthly, keep your battery on float charge for a long life. These chargers knows when the main car battery is full and directs the alternator to charge the auxiliary battery. It also regulates the solar input using a built-in MPPT solar regulator.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a DC to DC charger if I have solar?

Yes, a DC to DC charger is still needed even if you have solar panels. It ensures the auxiliary battery is charged efficiently, managing power from both the alternator and the solar panels. This is especially important for lithium batteries, which require precise voltage regulation.

Do you connect a these charger to the battery or alternator?

A DC DC charger connects to both the main battery and the auxiliary battery. The charger takes power from the alternator via the main battery and regulates it before sending it to the auxiliary battery. This ensures efficient charging and helps maintain a steady 12-volt system.

DC-DC vs BCDC Chargers: What's the Difference?

A DC-DC charger and a BCDC charger both serve to charge a secondary battery from the main battery or alternator. The key difference lies in branding and specific features. The term "BCDC" is typically used by Redarc to denote their line of DC-DC chargers, which include advanced features such as:

• Solar Input Regulation: BCDC chargers often have built-in MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) solar regulators, allowing for efficient charging from solar panels.
• Intelligent Charging Modes: These chargers can adapt to different battery types (e.g., AGM, GEL, lithium) and charging conditions, optimizing the charging process.
• Durability and Versatility: Redarc BCDC chargers are known for their robust design, making them suitable for extreme conditions and a variety of installations.
