Basically, a DC-DC charger is form of smart charger that used 12V technology to ensure your battery systems are running smoothly and charging in every way that they should be. Predominantly for dual battery systems, the way they work is by converting your voltage from a running vehicle where the alternator is doing all of the work, into an energy force that carefully charges up your secondary or auxiliary battery while you are moving about. This means that when parked up you can use up the charge on your second battery for all things in your vehicle or camping set up, like accessories including fridges, lights and even phone chargers or cooking facilities, and then once you have your rig fired up again it will be replaced by the converted voltage coming from your car’s alternator. This is a great option because it means that each time you park up for the day, you should find that your main energy source has been charged back to full capacity ready for you to begin draining it again overnight. Also know as a Battery to Battery Charger, due to the fact that it basically moves energy from your primary battery to your secondary battery, these handy smart chargers will be worth their weight in gold for anyone that heads outdoors to adventure. Perfect for use in your vehicle, your boat, campervan, or caravan, or basically anywhere that you may have some sort of dual system hooked up to generate the power you need to recharge each time.

Adventure Kings have gone one step further with their Kings DC-DC chargers and have had one designed from the ground up in conjunction with Brisbane based company Intelliquip Solutions, to ensure that all of the designing and features match those requirements of Australian camping and adventure enthusiasts and their wide range of different vehicles. Below are some of the core features which make this one of the best DC-DC chargers on the Australian Market.

The 20AMP DC-DC Mk2 Lithium Compatible Charger is one of a kind and comes with an array of features to suit Australian adventures and vehicle setups, including the following;

Smart Sensing Technology – With smart sensing technology, it doesn’t matter if your vehicle has a smart alternator or not, the power of the Mk2 charger will not be stopped by a sensor! It will safely convert energies produced by any alternator to ensure your system works to the best of its capabilities.

Lithium (LiFePO4) Compatible – This multi-stage charger has been specially programmed to use a charge pattern specific to LiFePO4 Lithium batteries, however with a quick change of the settings you can still use it with standard lead acid 12V batteries including wet/flooded, AGM Deep Cycle and also Maintenance Free Calcium Batteries meaning a wide range of specifications are covered to make it handy in a whole range of different tasks.

Built in Battery Isolator – The smart built in battery isolator, makes the whole system do its thing only when it need to do its thing. When not in use, your secondary battery will be isolated so that it cannot be drained or be used by other accessories while the primary battery is in fact in action. This will ensure it charges at the correct time and is not unnecessarily drained in the meantime.

ETFO Charging Technology – ETFO, also known as Extreme Temperature, Full Output technology is designed to keep your batteries charging even in high ambient temperatures up to 60°C, meaning just about nothing can stop this system from working to its full potential, all of the time. Not being affected by the heat, this smart charger can pump out 20AMP of constant charge no matter the time of day, meaning your system will benefit from a healthy charge every time. The built-in temperature sensors will ensure the system is regulated to charge at the correct levels and provide ultimate longevity for the charging system and all of its components.

Hardy Construction – Designed and constructed to take on the harsh conditions found throughout Australian landscapes, the all-in-one charger has a hardy alloy exterior and will stand up against large vibrations and fierce jolts throughout all of your driving mannerisms and landscape tackling adventures. This will also improve the longevity of your system and it will continue to run at the highest level without being phased by a few bumps here and there.

Designed from the ground up in conjunction with Intelliquip Service in Brisbane, Australia, this DC- Charger is the perfect addition to your electrical system and for those that are running a 12V dual battery system. Made from top to bottom with carefully sourced products and ingenuity, ensures absolute quality at every turn. Industrial grade components from the USA and Japan have been included to ensure the highest quality returns, as they are a cut above the rest when it comes to usability. Able to withstand higher temperatures and keep the volts flowing, the wiring is one of the most important components within. All wires have been carefully colour coded so that you can apply them to different types of batteries or setups without worrying if your wire will stand up to the test.

As standard it also has full protection for reverse polarity, short circuiting, over/under voltage as well as under current and over temperature protection throughout the entire system.

If you are running 12V dual battery systems then this is the way to go with DC-DC chargers, as it has all of the highest quality features for safety, longevity, and usability to ensure your system runs at its absolute best, all of the time. If you haven’t already, upgrade to the Mk2 DC-DC Lithium Compatible Charger from Adventure Kings, and never worry about whether or not your system is going to run out of charge again, without a care in the world you can use all of your accessories in peace, knowing tomorrow is a new day full of charge.
