RVK 203 - 40 Amp Equalise Charger

Our price $613.50

The Redarc series of Equalise Chargers (CE) are designed to operate 12V equipment from a 24V system, without the need to buy another 12V battery.  The CE allows you to 'tap' into the 12V from the lower battery of your 24V system without flattening the lower battery or overcharging the upper battery.

An equalise charger is a relatively inexpensive, simple way of getting pure DC battery voltage to run 12V equipment from a 24V system.

Function
The equalise charger operates in a two battery 24V DC negative system.  The Output Voltage of the equalise charger is regulated to half the Input Voltage.  12V power is available from the lower battery in a 24V system via the centre tap (bridging link).  The equalise charger ensures that the voltage across the lower 12V battery (i.e. the battery whose negative is connected to ground) is equalised to the voltage across the upper 12V battery in the 24V bank.

Application
Because of their high peak current capability and fast transient response, REDARC equalise chargers are ideally suited to loads requiring a safe, clean and stable 12V supply (Electronics and communication equipment).  They are ideal for variable current loads such as winches, motors, lamps, fridges etc, because the 12V supply is taken directly from the lower 12V battery.

Protection
The equalise charger will not be overloaded because of inbuilt fast responding current limiting.  The equalise chargers' electronic components are protected internally against the large positive and negative transient voltages usually present in mobile electrical syste.s  When correctly connected there is NO POSSIBILITY of 24V being applied to the load (equipment), because the 12V equipment is supplied by the 12 battery.
