A question about:
RCE Battery Isolator / 180 A / 3 outputs

Flag of Deutsch Kann ich statt 3 Ausgängen auch nur 2 Ausgänge nutzen, da die dritte Batteriebank erst in der Zukunft benötigt wird? Wenn ja. welcher Ausgang muss zunächst freigelassen werden?

Guten Tag Simon, welchen Anschluss Sie zunächst frei lassen, spielt keine Rolle. Die Ausgänge sind elektrisch alle gleich ausgeführt. Grüße SVB-Team Bremen

Merci à l'équipe SVB, vous avez été plus rapide que moi pour répondre. :-) Benoit, pour le support technique CRISTEC.

A question about:
YPOWER+ Battery Charger 12 V / 40 A / 4 charging outputs / fanless

Flag of English Can the charger charge 3 different batteries ? for example 2 AGM batteries and a LiFeSO4 battery ? if YES, can the batteries have different capacities but in total not to exceed 300Ah -for Cristec charger type 12V-25Ah ?

Hello Costin, this device has several charging outputs, but no separate charging characteristics per output (all receive the same voltage). So charging AGM und Lifepo4 Batteries in a mixed setup is not ideal. The specified battery capacity is only a recommendation, as larger capacities require longer charging times. Greetings SVB-Team Bremen

Dear Costin, We would like to thank you for your interest in our products and our company. LIFE PO4 batteries have 3 x major advantages : • Lightweight gain / smaller dimensions • Greater autonomy thanks deep discharge rate (90%) • Fast charging with a suitable charging current It is generally recommended by LIFE PO4 battery manufacturers to size up the charger ideally at C/3 (SOE - Safety Operating Envelop), C/5 being the lowest recommendation – C = global LIFE PO4 bank capacity : - i.e. ideally 100A for 300Ah battery bank; 60A minimum If not there is a risk the batteries will be never fully charged and then you reduce lifespan. Usually when a Lithium battery is installed. It takes almost all the power from the source. This is why we often install DC-DC converters on the alternators. Just to limit the current downstream the isolator in the Lithium Battery branch. Depending on the lithium bank I would recommend to put 1 YPOWER available for the Lithium bank. The reference is YPO12-60STPL : https://www.cristec.fr/english/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/02/YPOWER-PLUS-battery-chargers.pdf https://www.cristec.fr/english/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/03/YPOPLUS-Manual.pdf It features Bluetooth as standard, CANBUS as standard, 4 independent outputs, and Plug and Play connections. It's Ignition Protected, so you can put it in the engine compartment, and it's totally silent because there's no fan.
