Split solar charging smart grid

How does a split charging system work?

Normally, the alternator is only wired to the vehicle's starter battery. A split charging system connects to the alternator and uses it to charge your leisure batteries once the starter battery is full. A smart charger, DC-DC charger, or campervan battery-to-battery charger is the best choice for most people.

Are smart B2B Chargers better than other split charging systems?

As discussed in this article, smart B2B chargers/DC-DC chargers do better than other split charging systems in almost every metric. They charge your batteries more efficiently, more quickly, and more safely. If you have a smart alternator or a lithium leisure battery, they're essential.

What is a split charge wiring kit?

Split charge wiring kits are essential for any van that wants to safely charge both the main vehicle battery and a leisure battery. Using a leisure battery means the charge from your engine or solar panels needs to be intelligently divided between two destinations. That’s where a split charger comes in.

What is a combined battery to battery charger & solar regulator?

12V to 12V 30A DC to DC charger The new combined battery to battery charger and solar regulator maximises the operational usage of the battery to battery charger. It does this by adding a solar operation to the product both when the vehicle is in motion and moreover when the vehicle is stationary.

What is a campervan split charging system?

A campervan split charging system is the core of any off-grid electrical system, along with a solar system. These systems quickly charge your leisure batteries whilst you drive by taking a small amount of power from the van's running engine.

Why do split charging systems need thermal protection and heat management?

Thermal protection and heat management are critical for maintaining the longevity and efficiency of split charging systems. Chargers, alternators, and relays generate heat during operation, especially under high loads.
