What kind of batteries is this charger suitable for?
 
This battery charger is compatible with 12V Gel, AGM, SLD, Flooded, and Lithium batteries.
What are the specifications of Anderson plugs on the charger?
 
Plugs on the charger are Anderson PP75.
Which gauge of wire does this charger fit?
 
This charger is suitable for 8AWG-6AWG wire.
Is there any requirement for alternator type on this charger?
 
This charger is compatible with both smart alternator and traditional alternator. Note in particular that for smart alternator, IGN cable needs to be connected for the charger to work properly.
For this charger, what is the alternator specification requirement?
 
For this charger, the alternator specification is required to be at least 1.5 times the charger specification to ensure that the charger works properly while not burdening the alternator.
Is the temperature sensor mandatory to be connected?
 
A temperature sensor needs to be connected for non-lithium batteries in order to protect the battery from high and low temperatures through timely adjustment of the charging voltage by temperature compensation. Note: There is no temperature compensation in Li mode, so lithium batteries do not require a temperature sensor to be connected.
Is this charger waterproof?
 
This charger has an IP 32 waterproof rating and is not waterproof.
Does the charger have an isolation function?
 
This charger has an isolation function.
What is the recommended fuse size for the input and output of the charger?
 
We recommend a 90A fuse for the input and an 80A fuse for the output.
What is the self-consumption of the charger?
 
This charger has ≤50mA self-consumption.
How can I check the data of this charger since it does not have a display?
 
The Rego DC-DC charger has built-in Bluetooth and data can be viewed via DC Home APP.
What communication protocols does this charger support?
 
This charger supports Modebus and RV-C.
How can I change the battery type on the charger?
 
You can adjust the battery type by rotating the button on the charger. Note: The battery type is not modifiable on DC Home APP.
If the default charging current is not suitable for the battery currently in use, how can I change it?
 
You can modify the charging current in the settings screen on DC Home APP. Note: When modifying the current, 10A is used as a step.
If the charging parameters under the default battery type are not suitable for my battery, how can I customize the charging parameters?
 
You can set the battery type to User on DC-DC charger first, then modify the charging parameters on DC Home's setting interface.
For what conditions will reverse charging be turned on if I want to charge the starter battery?
 
The reverse charging conditions vary for different types of alternators.
  • For traditional alternators: reverse charging will be turned on when the house battery voltage is >12.7V and the starter battery voltage is <12.7V; charging will stop when the starter battery voltage is >13.2V.
  • For smart alternators: when the house battery voltage is >11.5V and the starter battery voltage is <11.5V, reverse charging is on; when the starter battery voltage is >12V, charging stops.
Note: When reverse charging, the maximum charging current will not exceed 30A.
