Onboard.battery.charger.
The onboard battery charger is equipped with next generation DC/DC onboard charging technology, as well as additional functionalities, making
this dual supply battery charger the most developed on the market. The charger features an MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) solar charge
controller and boosts the charge using solar power and the alternator at the same time. Thanks to the inbuilt Energy Priority mode, it selects solar
power first to reduce the load on the alternator. This charger is suitable for 12 V and 24 V systems and is compatible with standard and variable/
smart alternators. This means it is suitable for AGM, Gel, standard lead-acid and LiFePO4 batteries.
