12v Charging?


The next big thing was power! What sort of system do I need, I want something to charge my 12 leisure battery but would not over charge the system (like a standard split charge rely would) The best option was going to be Sterling 50a 12v-24v Batt-Batt Charger the reason:

 The best way to charge a battery is by using a 4-step battery charging curve which cannot be achieved from a standard alternator. This charger unit is simply attached to a standard engine starter battery. It then fools the alternator into working at its maximum ability in order to ensure that all its surplus power is utilised to charger the auxiliary battery bank. The system is designed to use only the surplus power and, at all times, ensures that the power required to run the primary system (the vehicle’s or boat’s engine system) is not affected. The surplus power is converted into a higher voltage and used to charge the secondary battery bank using a digitally controlled, programmable 4-step charging curve.

In a nutshell it charges your domestic battery system about 5 times faster than it would otherwise be charged and helps to ensure that the batteries are working to their maximum ability, enabling them to produce their full potential power. It also increases the life of the batteries by helping to de-sulphate them.


For best results, use open lead acid batteries, avoid gel, sealed and A.G.M. batteries. Even though open lead acid batteries are by far and away the best choice for fast charging and longer life using advanced charging units, sometimes there is no choice
