Please read this operating and installation manual thoroughly prior to connection and start-up. 

 

Fully automatic Battery Charging Converter for LiFePO4 batteries in special purpose vehicles, in high-quality 

campers, in the marine field. 

The charging converters 

(

Booster, B2B Battery to Battery

had been developed according to the latest regulations for 

supply battery charging (board battery) with 

LiFePO4 technology

 during driving.  

In contrast to conventional cutoff relays, the charging voltage will be raised or lowered in case of losses on the supply 

lines, battery voltage fluctuations etc., thus adapting it automatically to the default charging values. Charging converters 

with 24 V input voltage allow charging of the 12 V supply battery without installation of a second generator. 

Thus, the charging converter ensures the known high-quality battery charging of the VOTRONIC chargers also during 

driving. Due to the intelligent microprocessor charging control with charging characteristic lines "IIU1oU2oU3" and 

dynamic calculation of the charging time, automatic, quick and gentle full charging is ensured, as well as subsequent 

100 % trickle charge of the connected batteries from any charging state. At the same time, simultaneous supply of 12 V 

consumers, which are connected in parallel, is ensured. Overcharging of the batteries is avoided, even in case of 

extremely long driving times.  

The charging converters excel by their compact design, low weight (high-frequency switch mode technology), powerfully 

dimensioned power components and consequently full charging capacity, even with long charging cables or strong 

voltage fluctuations at the

 

starter battery (EURO Standard 6, 6 + plus vehicles),

Further Characteristics of the Unit: 

 

The

 charging voltage 

is 

free from peaks 

and is 

controlled in such a way, 

that

 overcharging 

of the batteries

 is 

excluded

 

Fully automatic operation 

by means of control input (ignition, running motor, D+), as well as voltage control. 

 

Automatic, adjustable power control

 

giving priority to charging of the starter battery by the generator in case of 

overloaded vehicle mains to ensure that the vehicle can be started at any time. 

 

No discharge 

(current 0,000 A) of the batteries during stand-by or with switched-off charging converter. 

 

Parallel and Floating Operation:

 In case of simultaneous consumption, the battery will either continue to be charged 

or maintained via trickle charging. Calculation and control of the adaptation of the charging time is effected 

automatically by the charging converter. 

 

Unattended Charging:

 Multiple protection against overload, overheating, overvoltage, short circuit, reverse battery 

at the output, incorrect behaviour and back discharge of the battery by electronically controlled gradual reduction 

down to complete separation of charging converter and battery 

by integrated safety relays.

 

 

Galvanic isolation between input and output:

 Complete separation of the battery circuits, even in case of failure, 

important for 12 V/24 V mixed systems, avoids undesirable back discharge and suppresses interferences in the board 

mains. 

 

Charging Cable Compensation:

 Automatic compensation of voltage losses on the charging cables. 

 

Integrated On-board Mains Suppression Filter:

 Unproblematic parallel operation of solar systems, wind and petrol-

driven generators, mains supply chargers etc. at a single battery. 

 

Temperature control

 and adaptation of the charging by battery temperature sensor, which allows also charging 

beyond the recommended LiFePO4 

battery temperatures below 5 °C and above 35 °C.

 

 

Battery Lifetime and Efficiency: 

 

Keep the batteries cool, 

LiFePO4 

preferably 

above 0 °C. 

Choose an appropriate location for 

installation.

 

 

Store only fully charged batteries and recharge them periodically.
