Intelligent charge management between starter/primary and secondary battery

The intelligent secondary battery charger ensures that the starter battery is charged first while the vehicle is in motion. When this reaches a voltage of 13.6 V, the secondary battery charger automatically switches on the second battery. Both batteries are now charged by the alternator. Up to a total voltage of 12.8 V, both batteries remain connected in parallel. If the voltage drops below 12.8 V, the second battery charger switches the additional battery off again. Current can still be drawn from the second battery.

The electronics are suitable for all 12 V lead batteries, the switching capacity is sufficient for batteries up to 500 Ah. The open cable ends allow individual installation. The control LED lights up when both batteries are being charged. The secondary battery charger has the E-certification and is therefore suitable for permanent installation in all vehicles with road approval.

Important characteristics and features

Features & Functions

Use of the secondary battery charger in a vehicle

Use in a vehicle

The use of a second battery charger makes sense if an inverter or other 12 V consumers are used more frequently in a vehicle. To avoid excessive discharge of the starter battery, it is recommended to install a second battery as well as a second battery charger.

Please note that inverters or 12 V consumers are only connected to the second battery. If the second battery is exhausted, the engine can still be started via the starter battery.

Use of the secondary battery charger in the context of a solar island system

Use as part of a solar island system

Thanks to the intelligent charge management of the secondary battery charger, the energy produced at peak times can be easily and effectively stored in a second battery. In this way, the energy supply of particularly important consumers can be ensured at any time in a simple manner.

Examples of use
Important consumers that must always function, such as alarm systems or cooling devices, are connected to the primary battery. The secondary battery supplies power to less important consumers, such as TV or radio sets.

Practical control LED

graphic-900003-secondary-battery-charger-ivt-12v-80a-practical-control-led

The practical control LED of the second battery charger informs you at any time whether the batteries connected to the second battery charger are connected in parallel. Charging of the second battery becomes possible in this operating state.

E-certification – suitable for permanent installation in the vehicle

E-certification for permanent installation in the vehicle

The IVT secondary battery charger meets the legal requirements of the ECE regulations and therefore has the E-certification. It is suitable for permanent installation in all vehicles with road approval, such as passenger cars, utility vehicles or other vehicles with an on-board voltage of 12V.

3 year manufacturer warranty

IVT products are manufactured to a high quality and following strict quality guidelines. We are certain about the longevity so that we add another year to the statutory manufacturer warranty free of charge. Rechargeable batteries and batteries are excluded from this warranty.
