Frequently asked questions. Answered briefly.
Which ACE charger suits my battery bank?
philippi specifies a recommended battery capacity for each ACE model: 100 to 200 Ah for the ACE 24/25, 150 to 300 Ah for the ACE 24/30 and 300 to 900 Ah for the ACE 12/90. The ACE 12/44 and ACE 12/64 models charge up to four battery groups at the same time, for example starter, service and bow thruster batteries.
Which ACE chargers work without a fan?
The ACE 12/30, ACE 12/44, ACE 12/64 and ACE 24/25 models work without a fan and therefore without fan noise, which is pleasant especially at night near the berths. The ACE 24/30 has a fan that only switches on when needed and can be set to a quieter mode with reduced output via the remote control panel.
Charging booster or DC/DC converter, what is the difference?
A charging booster charges the service battery from the alternator while under way. A DC/DC converter supplies loads with a voltage different from that of the on-board system; the Alfatronix DD 48/12, for example, reduces 48 V to 13.6 V for 12 V loads. The DDi models also have a galvanically isolated output.
Inverter or inverter/charger?
An inverter such as the DCW series or the Studer AJ models generates a 230 V sine wave voltage from the on-board battery for loads independent of the shore supply. The Studer XTM and XTH inverter/chargers combine inverter and battery charger in one device and are suitable for systems with high energy demand.
