Victron 18amp Split Charger Kit for smart alternators / Euro 6 engines

Description A Self build kit for charging your leisure battery from your vehicle alternator.  This is a 5 metre kit, which is sufficient for most vans. It includes the following items… Victron 12/12/18 Isolated DC to DC Charger (See spec below) 5m x 16mm2 Red Cable 1m x 16mm2 Black Cable 5m of Split Conduit Cable protection 6mm and 8mm Ring Terminal Connectors Fuse Holders and Fuses Cable Ties and Sticky Pads Heat shrink and Insulation Tape The Victron Energy Orion-Tr Smart 12/12-18A (220W) Isolated DC-DC Charger is a professional, adaptive 3-stage DC to DC charger with integrated Bluetooth capability. Designed for dual battery systems in vehicles or boats, it uses the (smart) alternator and start battery to charge the service battery. This charger can be monitored and configured through Bluetooth, remotely controlled via an on/off switch, and includes an engine running detection mechanism. Key Features Bluetooth Smart Enabled Allows monitoring, configuration, and updates through any Bluetooth-enabled smartphone, tablet, or device. Fully Programmable Configurable battery charge algorithm or fixed output. Engine running detection mechanism for smart alternators. Adaptive 3-Stage Charge Algorithm Includes bulk, absorption, and float stages: For lead-acid batteries, shallow discharges trigger shorter absorption times to prevent overcharging, while deep discharges automatically extend absorption time for complete recharging. For lithium batteries, the absorption time is fixed at 2 hours by default. Option to select a fixed output voltage. Remote On/Off Control Supports connection to a remote on/off switch or relay contact through a two-pole connector. The H terminal can be connected to battery plus, and the L terminal can be connected to battery minus or vehicle chassis. Parallel Operation All models are short-circuit proof and can be connected in parallel to increase output current, with no limitation on the number of units. High Temperature Protection Output current automatically reduces in high ambient temperatures. IP43 Rating Protected when installed with the screw terminals facing downwards. Screw Terminals Easy installation without the need for special tools.
