The Philippi Charge Booster DCB 12V is a battery-to-battery charger with a 12V input for yachts, RVs, 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.
- 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 reduces stress on the V-belt during startup, fanless operation for maximum comfort
- System integration via P-Bus with a Philippi system monitor (suitable cable ACE-T-HPO)
- Current limitation adapts the charging current to existing cable cross-sections, power supply mode also possible without a battery at the output
The Philippi Charge Booster DCB 12V compensates for the typical problem of conventional and intelligent alternators: after a short time, the charging voltage drops, and voltage spikes also occur during braking. The DCB 12V 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 Charge Booster DCB 12V allows, for example, charging a 24V bow battery from a 12V onboard network without installing a second alternator. Stabilization of the 12V onboard network to supply sensitive consumers is also possible. All models are fanless and therefore silent in continuous operation.
