DCPOWER+
DCPOWER+ converter-chargers have been designed to charge a 12, 24, 36 or 48V battery bank from a 12, 24, 36 or 48V network. The most typical case of use is the 24V bow-thruster battery bank charge from the 12V onboard network (model YPO12- 24/30). They also allow a LiFePO4 battery to be recharged from a Lead battery connected to an alternator.
Thanks to their large scale of input and output voltage, they can be configured as a simple converter or as a battery charger.
In this case, the charging curve delivered is the same as the one of a smart charger :
– 5 steps
– all types of batteries
General characteristics
Silent operating
CRISTEC is the only manufacturer offering 800W
converter-chargers with natural convection
(without fan). This advantage gives the DCPOWER+
chargers a completely silent operation and an
optimized lifespan. It is therefore possible to install
them anywhere on board, including under a berth.
Low energy bluetooth
The chargers are equipped with a Bluetooth
Low Energy (BLE), variant of “classic” Bluetooth.
The major advantage of BLE is its low power
consumption as it consumes half of a classic Bluetooth.
No derating
Chargers have full charge up to +60°C (140°F) with
no loss, resistant to harsh environments.
Ignition protected
They can be installed in the engine room thanks
to ISO8846/SAE J1171 compliance which protects
against ignition of flammable gases.
5-stage charging profile
– Boost: charges batteries to 80% of full charge
– Absorption: slowly completes remaining charge to 100%
– Floating: maintains battery charge
– Automatic refresh: prevents sulphation and revitalizes batteries, selectable by keypad pushbutton
– Reboost: new automatic Boost phase if DC consumers and the state of batteries so require.
Adaptative charging
DCPOWER+ chargers are compatible with all types of batteries:
– Opened classic lead
– Sealed, gel or AGM
– Spiral sealed
Lithium ready
Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) with BMS
Selection of your technology of battery is easy to do through the cover keypad.
Remote control
The chargers are fitted with CAN-Bus and Bluetooth interface.
