CTEK D250SE Dual DC-DC 20A "OFF GRID" Charging System

CTEK D250SE Dual DC-DC 20A "OFF GRID" Charging System

If you are converting a modern van with a stop/start and/or a regenerative system and you want to charge a leisure battery, you will need a split charge system that can cope with the complexities of the new systems.

These CTEK Battery to Battery chargers solve the problem, whilst also allowing you to connect a sloar panel directly into the charger. This Off Grid version has an additional power monitor showing the number of hours left in your battery.

If you dont need the power monitor, see the CTEK D250SA Dual DC-DC Charger

 

Manufacturers Details.

With award winning Swedish technology, the dual input D250SE allows you to enjoy your vehicle more with maximized battery capacity as the ideal charger for vehicles without access to a mains power supply. For complete peace of mind this Off Grid version, has an additional power monitor, so you can see at a glance how much charge you’ve got left and the length of time till your batteries are discharged.

The D250SE is a fully automatic, 5 step charger that supplies up to 20A of power to any 12V lead acid service battery from 40-300Ah, including Wet, EFB, MF, Ca/Ca, AGM and Gel. It has selectable charge voltages for AGM batteries and can use power through its dual input from alternator, solar panel and wind power. When the service battery is fully charged, the D250SE will automatically redirect maintenance charge power to the starter battery. The D250SE can maintain a stable output up to 20A to vehicles fitted with smart ECU controlled alternators and also has a temperature sensor for optimised charging, regardless of weather conditions.
