Renogy Dual Input Charger: DC-DC & Solar

Renogy’s Dual Input Charger allows you the ability to isolate your starter battery from your auxiliary battery system, charge both batteries while driving, and charge auxiliary batteries when connected to solar - all in one unit! There is no other product on the market that offers these features at this price point. Renogy’s Dual Input battery charger is a game changer for any vehicle’s auxiliary battery system – but especially in a Vanagon where space is a commodity.

Features:

• Multiple Battery Chemistries: Charges Flooded, Gel, AGM, or Lithium batteries.
• Battery Isolation: Starter battery and auxiliary batteries are kept separate.
• Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) Technology: More efficiently converts the higher voltage DC output from solar panels down to the lower voltage needed to charge 12V auxiliary batteries.
• DC-DC Charging: connects and charges an auxiliary battery from a starter battery when vehicle is in operation – charged by the alternator.
• Multi-Alternator Compatibility: compatible with both traditional and smart alternators.
• Built-in Voltage Sensitive Relay (VSR): can independently adjust the charging voltage to a higher voltage than the alternator puts out – key for the different charging profiles needed by the different battery chemistries.
• Temperature Monitor and Voltage Adjustment: measures the temperature at the battery in real-time and uses this data for accurate temperature compensation for both too high or low battery temperature – adjusting the voltage to assure stable and constant charging to the battery.
• Silent and Efficient Heat Dissipation: constructed from die-cast aluminum for efficient and ZERO dB noiseless heat dissipation
• RJ45 Communication Port: using BT-2 Bluetooth Module you can control and monitor battery systems in real time using Renogy’s DC Home App.
