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
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.
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.
Chargers have full charge up to +60°C (140°F) with
no loss, resistant to harsh environments.
They can be installed in the engine room thanks
to ISO8846/SAE J1171 compliance which protects
against ignition of flammable gases.
