1.1
Intended product use
The Elogic DC to DC battery chargers are primarily intended to charge an auxiliary or service
battery from a vehicle starter battery. The input battery voltage can be above, below or
equal to the output battery voltage. An Elogic DC charger allows the auxiliary battery to be
perfectly charged regardless of the input voltage, while being protected against damage due
to peak voltages.
The Elogic DC battery chargers are compatible with vehicles that are equipped with variable
output smart alternators (EUR 6+). The Elogic DC charger can start charging based on a
programmable input voltage range only, or in combination with an engine run signal. There is
also a separate (BMS-) control input available that enables external control for charger-on
and -standby.
