Frequently Asked Questions
My DCDC charger gets really hot, is this normal?
Yes, they are designed to run up to 80 degrees Celsius. The case is a passive heat exchange, the harder the charger is working, the hotter the unit will get. If the charger is located in an enclosed space of hot environment the temperature of the unit will be amplified.
Is it normal for the DCDC alternator light to blink when my car engine is turned off?
This is completely normal. When a vehicle is turned off and the alternator voltage is below the cut-in rate, the charger is still recognizing the starter battery, therefore the light will continue to blink as per the table below. After some time, the battery will drop below the cut-out voltage and the light will switch off completely.
What battery types can be used with this charger?
GEL, AGM, WET, Calcium, and Lithium battery types
How do I change battery types?
The default battery setting is AGM. When the auxiliary battery is connected, press and hold the Mode button for 5 seconds or until the battery light starts flashing. Then select from either GEL, AGM, WET, CALCIUM or LITHIUM and wait for the battery light to stop flashing. When this occurs, your selection has been saved.
Can I install the DCDC charger under my car bonnet?
No, we do not recommend this. It may damage the charger due to excessive heat.
Can a DCDC charger reactivate a Lithium Battery from safe mode?
Yes, but it would take a great deal of time as the battery will only accept a minimal amount of input charge to restore the battery from safe mode. We recommend using a 240V Mains charger that has a Lithium activation mode.
