PREREQUISITES

A dual battery system where the D250T, 

together with SMARTPASS 120T, will charge 

the service battery when the vehicle motor is 

running. and It will also manage available 

power from the alternator to both the service 

battery and parallel consumers.
This installation will give a system that both can 

manage large parallel loads and at the same 

time charge maintain the service battery, with 

the optimum voltage for a 24V dual battery 

system. The battery charging will be more 

efficient and shorter as we are getting access to 

a higher current initially, parallel consumers will 

be powered directly from alternator.

Use this installation when:

–  Large electrical consumers parallel to service 

battery need power when the motor is 

running.

–  Need onboard charging and maintenance of 

the service battery.

– Large service battery capacity (up to 800 Ah).

–  A safe and reliable onboard charging and 

power management system is required.

An AC/DC battery charger can be connected to 

the service battery as complement to D250T and 

SMARTPASS 120T. This can be useful if:
• Power from the alternator, when the engine 

is running, is not enough to fully charge the 

service battery. Additional charge is needed 

to fill the battery up to 100%.

• Maintenance charging of the service battery 

(and starter battery) during long time storage 

of vehicle. The AC/DC charger will ensure 

that the batteries are fully charged when the 

vehicle should be used again.

• You will have access to AC power at your 

destination. The AC/DC charger will charge 

the battery and act as power supply for 

connected consumers.

• Select the size of AC/DC battery charger 

suitable for the size of the battery and all 

consumers that are active whilst charging. For 

example: A 10A charger will not charge a 

battery at all if you have a 10A light turned 

on.

Tips: If the starter battery needs charging, it 

is possible to connect the AC/DC charger 

to the starter battery and the D250T and 

SMARTPASS 120T will charge and maintain to 

the service battery in at the same time. 

3. Large service battery with parallel consumers

4. Connect an AC/DC charger
