The Battery Balancer is an indispensable tool for marine and boating enthusiasts, ensuring your vessel’s battery system remains efficient and reliable. By equalizing the charge across multiple batteries, it enhances performance and extends the lifespan of your marine power setup.
Product Overview
The Battery Balancer is engineered to maintain equal charge levels between two series-connected 12V batteries or multiple parallel strings of series-connected batteries. This device is essential for marine applications, where consistent power supply is crucial for the safe and efficient operation of your boat’s electrical systems.
Key Features
- Automatic Activation: Engages when the charge voltage of a 24V battery system exceeds 27V.
- Efficient Balancing: Draws up to 1A from the highest voltage battery to equalize charge levels.
- Scalable Design: Multiple Battery Balancers can be paralleled to accommodate larger battery banks.
- Versatile Compatibility: Suitable for both series and parallel battery configurations in marine environments.
- Durable Construction: Built to withstand the harsh conditions often encountered in marine settings.
How It Works
In a 24V marine battery system, the Battery Balancer activates when the charge voltage rises above 27V. It continuously monitors the voltage across the connected batteries, identifying any disparities in charge levels. Upon detecting a higher voltage in one battery or a parallel string, the balancer draws up to 1 ampere from the higher voltage source. This current draw creates a charge differential, ensuring that all batteries converge to the same state of charge, thereby optimizing the overall performance and reliability of your marine power system.
Compatibility and Scalability
The Battery Balancer is highly adaptable to various marine battery setups. For larger systems, such as a 48V battery bank, multiple balancers can be used in parallel to ensure comprehensive charge equalization. Specifically, three Battery Balancers are required to effectively balance a 48V system, providing a scalable solution for extensive marine electrical installations.
Installation and Usage
Installing the Battery Balancer in your marine setup is straightforward. Follow the included for step-by-step instructions. Ensure that the balancer is securely connected to your battery system, adhering to all safety guidelines to maintain optimal functionality and prolong the lifespan of your batteries.
