Battery Chargers
Modern intelligent switch-mode chargers are all of the following descriptions. Maintenance chargers, bulk chargers, boost chargers, equalising charger, float chargers. Multi-mode chargers. Don't be confused we can help. Start by finding out your batteries' Ah (Amp hour) capacity, divide that number by 10 and it will give you an idea of the Amps size/capacity charger you need to charge your batteries. We are factory-approved importers of CTEK, Victron, Traction, Sterling Power & Delta Q.

NEW DC CHARGING WITH PARALLEL SOLAR INPUT - IN STOCK NOW
The latest from CTEK the D250SE leverages on the good foundation of the D250SA Dual but raises the stakes again by including a Lithium Charge profile to feature alongside its ignition feed and MPPT solar controller. A wider input voltage range on the alternator side for Euro 5+ engine for ECU controlled systems.
MPPT Solar input, alternator input with service battery charging from the solar or engine with a preference on the sun's free energy. Not to mention the ability to add the SmartPass 120S or SmartPass 120 for an additional 120A charging output.
- 20A fully automatic temperature compensated charging for batteries from 40-300Ah while you’re on the move
- Dual input (solar and alternator in parallel)
- Smart alternator compatible
- Selectable lithium* and lead-acid mode
- Solar panel regulator with Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT)
- Battery separation replacing diodes and VSR relays
- Selectable AGM option – 14.4V or 14.7V
- Maximised charging for better battery life and performance
- Temperature sensor to compensate for hot or cold conditions
- Compatible with SMARTPASS 120 for the ultimate 140A power management solution
*Lithium Battery Bank must utilise it's own battery monitoring system which will work in conjuction with this devices output voltages.

A chargers purpose
When you are choosing your next car, you carefully consider what you will use it for most. Be that a Micro car or an SUV the engines might be of similar power but the purpose, its intended use is of great importance.
With your charger the usage/environment, for example, in a marine environment, you use a sealed IP44 or better (higher numbers are better) rating. Maybe its internally mounted but still in a sea spray zone so conformity coated board or potted components for a fully sealed solution are ideal. Consideration for what if the power supply doesn't de-rate in hot conditions (internally via thermal control or an external sensor to monitor the battery temperature). That the energy efficiency is a high percentage to reduce heat and chance of failure and if you travel internationally with your charger that it's rated for 110VAC input and 230VAC input (universal power supply). Accessory items are available if required and technical support is available from the place of purchase.
