Buck-Boost DC-DC Converter - 50A

DC-DC Converter for charging a 12/24V service battery in vehicles with an intelligent dynamo.

The Buck-Boost DC-DC Converter is a DC-DC converter for charging a 12/24V service battery in vehicles with an intelligent dynamo. Since, when the engine is running, these dynamos (powered by the on-board electronics of Euro 5 and 6 engines) do not always emit the correct charging current, a DC-DC converter is essential for charging the service battery properly.

Features

• High Capacity:

  • Current Rating: 50A ensures sufficient power for charging service batteries effectively.

• DC-DC Conversion:

  • Buck-Boost Technology: Efficiently converts voltage levels to ensure proper charging of 12V or 24V service batteries, regardless of variations in the dynamo output.

• Compatibility:

  • Vehicle Application: Ideal for use in vehicles with intelligent dynamos, particularly those with Euro 5 and Euro 6 engines where charging currents may not be consistent.

• Reliable Charging:

  • Correct Charging Current: Addresses issues of incorrect charging currents emitted by modern dynamos, ensuring proper charging and longevity of the service battery.
