CHARGING (CONT.)
AC CHARGER
If you’re charging up your batteries at home before or after a trip, or if
you’re at a powered camp site, you can also use an AC (mains power)
battery charger. Mains battery chargers are available as portable devices
or can be built into your 12V system. Again, you should make sure that the
AC charger you wish to use contains a lithium charge profile.
WARNING
• DO NOT use a charge profile with a “Pulse” or “Equalisation” stage. This
will damage the battery and void the warranty.
• DO NOT charge your battery directly from an alternator or via VSR.
CHARGE METHODS: SOLAR PANEL WITH REGULATOR
12V solar panels harness the energy of the sun to charge your battery.
There are many solar panel options on the market, but they can be split
into two main categories: fixed and portable.
Fixed solar panels usually have a rigid metal frame. They are designed
to be permanently fixed to your vehicle and connected to a regulator or
DC-DC charger mounted inside. They are great for charging your vehicle
while on the go without consuming current from your alternator.
Portable solar panels (solar blankets, solar mats etc.) are designed to be
set up while the vehicle is stationary, such as when you’re at camp. They
are usually connected to the battery via a portable regulator.
Either type of solar panel is fine for charging these lithium batteries, but
as stated previously it is important to ensure that your regulator has a
lithium charge profile to maximise your battery’s service life.
