The Philippi charge booster DCE 48V is a battery-to-battery charger with a 48V input for yachts, motorhomes, and vehicles. It uses the alternator while driving to quickly and fully charge service batteries with 12V, 24V, 36V, or 48V output voltage, reliably compensating for voltage fluctuations and line losses. In the Philippi catalog, this series is technically listed as DCB and for 48V input systems under the designation DCE.
- Correct charging with a three-stage characteristic curve – better utilization of alternator power for fast, optimal charging
- Adjustable characteristic curves for lead-acid, gel, AGM, and lithium-ion batteries
- Soft start relieves the V-belt during startup, fanless operation for maximum comfort
- System integration via P-Bus with a Philippi system monitor (compatible cable ACE-T-HPO)
- Current limitation adjusts the charging current to existing cable cross-sections, power supply mode also possible without battery at the output
The Philippi DCE 48V charge booster compensates for the typical problem of conventional and smart alternators: after a short time, the charging voltage drops, and voltage peaks also occur during braking. The DCE 48V regulates this into a clean, three-stage charging characteristic curve, ensuring a complete charge of the service battery – even with long cable runs between the alternator and the battery.
Depending on the required output voltage, the Philippi DCE 48V charge booster allows, for example, charging and supplying a 12V on-board network or a 12V buffer battery from a 48V on-board system without installing a second alternator. All models are fanless and therefore operate silently.
