Description

SARGENT 20 Amp, 2-Stage DC-DC Charger DX20-KIT

This battery charger is a compact, cost effective option for van conversions, particularly when the base vehicle is fitted with a smart alternator, such as Euro6 vehicles

The charger can provide up to 20 amps to the leisure battery and uses a 2-Stage profile to ensure fast, efficient charging during driving.

The unit can be used with most leisure battery types, including Lead Acid, AGM & LiFePO4 (We advise checking compatibility with your battery manufacturer before installing)

The charger also features a rugged waterproof casing with silent fanless cooling.

Supplied with connector kit for plug & play installation.

• Rapid charging – boosts voltage for more effective charging
• Engine running input – Automatically enables charging
• Silent operation – Heavy duty fanless design
•  Plug & Play – Quick fit connectors provide rapid installation
• IP68 waterproof rating – Epoxy potting protects electronics against moisture ingress
•  Fully protected – built-in overload, short circuit & over temperature protection

When installing the DX20 it is good practice to keep cabling as short as possible! Do not underate the cable as this will lead to excessive voltage losses and reduced performance.

Under full load the charger will draw a large amount of current and the input side will typically draw larger currents than the output by a factor of upto 25%.

please refer to the table (found here) to select a suitable wiring gauge, length and recommended fuse rating

WHAT THE DX20  DOES:

This DC-DC charger takes power from the vehicle battery and alternator, to provide rapid charging of a leisure battery. The leisure battery is more fully charged than using traditional relay systems and any voltage losses in cabling are reduced.

An engine running input ensures the charger is compatible with both smart and standard
alternators
