Self-sufficient on the go – no matter where.

A complete on-board electrical system includes energy storage (batteries), charging technology (shore power, alternator, solar), power distribution and protection, and monitoring of batteries, tanks, and consumers. Philippi supplies all coordinated components from a single source.

That depends on the vehicle type and the consumers. Most off-road campers and expedition vehicles run on 12 V, heavier truck-based vehicles often on 24 V. Our components are available for both voltages.

A charge booster (DC-DC converter) ensures the leisure battery is charged reliably from the alternator, even with modern variable-voltage alternators in Euro 6 vehicles. With lithium batteries it is practically indispensable.

Lithium (LiFePO4) offers more usable capacity at lower weight and a much higher cycle life, but costs more to buy. Lead batteries are cheaper but heavier and less tolerant of deep discharge. We advise you on the right choice for your usage profile.

Our products are designed for tough off-road use and for vibration, dust and moisture. When planning the installation, we work with you on the right protection class and mounting for your vehicle.

The PCU is the central vehicle control unit: it shows battery status, tank levels, heating and other systems on one display and lets you operate them from there. Instead of many individual switches, you have all functions in view in one place.

With our battery and tank monitors you always have charge status, voltage, current and fill levels in view, directly on the central display or via the PCU.

Yes. Our charging technology uses several charging sources in parallel and prioritises them intelligently, so your battery is charged optimally whichever source is available.

All circuits are protected by modern circuit breakers. Our switch panels (series 100, 200, 700) provide standard-compliant protection for every individual load circuit.

A combi inverter combines an inverter and a charger in one unit: it supplies 230 V consumers from the battery and charges from shore power. Useful as soon as you don't want to do without household appliances on the road.

Yes. The system is modular. You can start with the core of battery and distribution and add charging technology, monitors or further circuits later without replacing the existing installation.

Many components are designed for self-installation and well documented. For more complex systems or first installations we recommend a specialist workshop; our support team is happy to help with questions.

Yes. Our experts advise you personally and develop an individual energy concept to suit your vehicle, usage profile and budget, free of charge and without obligation in a consultation.

Contact us directly – by phone or email. Where possible, we will promptly send replacement devices to match your route so that your journey does not have to be interrupted.

All core components have been developed and manufactured by philippi in Germany since 1978. In addition, we are an official distribution partner of leading brands such as Mastervolt, Balmar, Studer and Fischer Panda.
