High-Output 100A Charging
The charger provides up to 100A output for compatible 12V battery systems, making it suitable for large battery banks and higher-demand electrical installations.
Charging current can be reduced in 10A increments from 100A down to 10A, allowing the charger to be matched more closely to the vehicle, alternator and battery system.
Alternator & Solar Inputs
The unit incorporates separate inputs for the vehicle start battery / alternator and solar PV.
The alternator input operates across a 10.5–16V DC range, while the solar input accepts 14.5–55V DC and supports up to 80A input current.
When the engine start control is active, charging is supplied from the start battery / alternator input. When engine start control is inactive, the charger can operate from the PV input.
Integrated MPPT Solar Charging
The integrated MPPT solar regulator is designed to maximise available energy from the connected PV array.
Solar input supports up to:
- 1200W maximum for 12V panel configurations
- 2000W maximum for 24V panel configurations
- 55V DC maximum PV input voltage
MPPT tracking efficiency is stated at greater than 98%.
Multi-Stage Battery Charging
The charger uses a 4-stage charging process:
- Test
- Bulk
- Absorption
- Float
Selectable battery profiles include Gel, AGM, Flooded, Lithium and programmable modes. Equalisation is available for suitable flooded batteries.
Remote Display Included
A remote display panel is included for monitoring charger operation and system status.
The display provides information including:
- Voltage
- Current
- Operating status
- Error information
The remote display communicates via CANBUS.
High-Output Alternator Requirement
Important: This charger is designed for vehicles and marine systems with suitably sized high-output alternators.
The supplied application guidance recommends use with 12V alternators rated around 180A or greater. Confirm alternator capacity, vehicle compatibility and charging system suitability before installation.
