DCC Family
The DCC family is meant to charge batteries takig energy from a variable source, like a battery or an
alternator adopting a user selectable charging cycle in accordance to the type (i.e. chemistry) of the
battery and to battery
manufacture’s specifications
.
It is able to reach the optimal charge level and to maintain it. It is designed to be used in conjunction
with standard alternators and also with new smart and variable output alternators of modern low
emission vehicles, including vehicles equipped with START and STOP devices.
An important feature of this family is that the unit works as a standard step-up or step-down
stabilized power-supply for a load also in absence of the auxiliary battery connected drawing
energy from the alternator
.
