That's a pretty cool unit; I never knew there were any DC chargers that include AC input for battery charging via shore power and/or generator. $1,229 though! An alternative would be the KISAE DC-DC charger plus a KISAE combination inverter/charger for 120V battery-charging with a 12V-120V inverter in the same device.redarc manager 30 is what the upfitters use around here.
a vote for the Victron, a great bit of kit that can now be programmed from your phone.Victron makes a great DC-DC Buckboost system, that fits under the seat great.
Programmable from a labtop, and for lithium as well.
Our motorhome's Kisae is limited to 50A and I wish it could be set to accept 100 amps like the Buckboost, but I wouldn't want to have to remember to change it back when I was done with fast charging. Seems like there's a trade-off to every type of charger.a vote for the Victron, a great bit of kit that can now be programmed from your phone.
Is that the New Product: Orion-Tr Smart DC-DC charger ? Looks cool but it seems to be limited to about 30 amps on a 12V system. I'd like something programmable like that, but one that could handle the full alternator output depleted lithium batteries can accept.... the new Victron system...
Usually if you want to run high power levels, the approach is to use a dedicated aux alternator and external alternator controller - programmed to match the battery pack charge capability. This number can vary quite a bit, from ~ 500 watts for a single battleborn to ~ 5 kW for a larger Li pack.Is that the New Product: Orion-Tr Smart DC-DC charger ?
