IOTA Power Converter / Battery Chargers
55Amp 12V charger with IQ4 3 stage smart charge regulator: 480 Euro IVA included
Also available in a 40Amp 24V version.
Why buy this?
A common cause for premature failure of large (and expensive) solar battery banks is frequent under charge in winter time. Your batteries live much longer if 100% charge is achieved in each charge cycle.
Often we see clients charging with smaller auto chargers to reach the full charge.
Car chargers are highly destructive sources of rippled DC power and should be avoided!
The solar batteries are very sensitive to rippled DC. Ripple means a very fast fluctuation in voltage and Amps. This effect is highly increased when you connect a undersized car charger to a large battery bank. You will often see a maximum Amp size printed on a small automotive charger, and this is for a very good reason.
The inferior charger “stresses” the solar batteries and will wear them prematurely.
We have seen battery banks give in after few weeks of inferior charging.
The remedy
Using state-of-the-art, switch-mode technology, IOTA Power Converter/Battery Chargers are engineered with the user and variable environmental conditions in mind. Extra care has been given to insure many years of service-free operation, even when subjected to extremely harsh conditions. Batteries are charged quickly and efficiently without over-charging and pumps, motors, and fans operate perfectly for prolonged life.
Exceptionally clean DC output
insures pumps, motors, fans, and lights work perfectly. This means longer life for any connected load; virtually no AC ripple to cause static or premature failure of radio or television equipment.
Quickly and efficiently charges batteries
from the full rated output of the IOTA battery charger. The battery charger then maintains the batteries, only putting into the battery what is required by load or self-discharge, cutting back to milliamps as the battery requires.
Protection against low and transient AC line voltage
as well as spikes coming from the AC power source or from improperly adjusted generators, a major cause of converter/power supply failure.
Meets F.C.C. criteria, minimizing radio and television equipment interference
especially on the lower frequency bands.
Can be used with or without a battery
When used as a converter/power supply, the IOTA power converter will only supply what is required by the load. When not in use it is essentially off, reducing electricity usage.
Lower operating temperature
half that of some switch mode electronic models, even in its subcompact size.
This means substantially longer life and safer operation.
Tight line-load regulation
ensures that the output voltage holds steady from no load to full load.
This keeps pumps, motors, and lights working at the correct voltage even during brown-out situations.
Proportional Fan Circuitry
provides an extra measure of protection. During times of heavy load demands, the automatic circuitry will activate the fan before thermal stress can occur on any internal components.
External fuses protect the IOTA unit against improper wiring
and can be quickly and easily replaced.
Multiple units can be operated in series or parallel
to increase voltage or amperage.
