Battery chargers.
Fanless, 12/24 V, up to 90 A.
philippi develops and manufactures the ACE series battery chargers in its own factory in Germany. These automatic chargers charge 12 V and 24 V systems on yachts, boats, motorhomes and expedition vehicles from shore power or a generator and supply up to three battery groups at the same time. You will also find chargers from Mastervolt (ChargeMaster Plus) and further philippi chargers here, as well as accessories for the ACE series.

In brief: ACE chargers work without a fan, using a heat sink in the housing base, accept 90–265 V AC without loss of output and can be set for lead-acid, AGM, GEL and lithium batteries. They are integrated into philippi system monitoring via the P-BUS.
The ACE models at a glance
| Model | System | Charging current | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| ACE 12/30 | 12 V | 30 A | for 120–250 Ah, P-BUS and Bluetooth app |
| ACE 12/44 | 12 V | 44 A | medium battery banks |
| ACE 12/64 | 12 V | 64 A | larger battery banks |
| ACE 12/90 | 12 V | 90 A | high power, for 300–900 Ah, IU or IUoU profile |

What sets the ACE series apart
- Fanless and quiet – heat sink in the housing base instead of a fan, also suitable for the engine room or near berths
- Up to three battery groups – for example starter, service and bow thruster battery on one unit
- Usable worldwide – 90–265 V AC without loss of output, also on weak dock pedestals and generators
- Profiles for all common batteries – flooded, lead-calcium, GEL, AGM and lithium, also freely configurable via PSM or PSL
- Special functions – winter storage mode, power supply mode (regulated DC supply, e.g. during construction) and refresh function for lead batteries
- Plug & play – pluggable AC and DC connections, temperature sensor included
Accessories for the ACE series
The F-ACE and FAL remote displays bring charge status and device status to the chart table. With the ACE-T cable – for the ACE 12/90 with Microfit connector the ACE-T cable HPO – the chargers are integrated into the P-BUS system. Also available: the KS cable set, the TEMP-AL temperature sensor and the BLS battery monitor, which can display and control ACE chargers via the ACE-LIN interface.
How to combine charger, alternator and solar into a coherent charging concept is explained in the Academy section Charging and energy generation.
Frequently asked questions. Answered briefly.
Which battery types are the ACE chargers suitable for?
Using the control panel, you select the charging profile for flooded, lead-calcium, GEL and AGM batteries as well as for lithium battery systems. Via the P-BUS monitors PSM or PSL, a freely adjustable profile can be set, for example to a lithium manufacturer’s specifications. Winter storage mode, power supply mode and a refresh function for lead batteries are also included.
How many battery banks can an ACE charger charge?
Via their three outputs, the ACE chargers charge one battery or up to three battery banks at the same time, for example starter, house and bow thruster battery. A separate charge distributor is not needed for this. You decide during installation which battery is connected to which output; the recommended total capacity is given on the product page.
Which ACE model suits my battery bank?
That depends on the battery capacity. The ACE 12/30 is designed for 120 to 250 Ah, the ACE 12/90 with 90 A for 300 to 900 Ah; the ACE 12/44 and ACE 12/64 lie in between. For 24 V systems there are the ACE 24/25 and ACE 24/30. The recommended capacity is stated on the respective product page.
Can the ACE charger be connected to the P-BUS system?
Yes. Depending on the model, the charger is integrated into the P-BUS network with the ACE-T cable or the ACE-T cable HPO. State of charge and parameters are then shown on the PSM3 or PSL system monitors. For a simple display at the chart table there is also the FAL remote display, which shows the status charging or full.
Does the ACE charger work on any shore power?
Yes. The input voltage range of 90 to 265 V AC allows operation on shore power grids worldwide and on onboard generators without any reduction in charging power. This also helps at weak pedestals whose voltage drops significantly under load. No switching or adapter is needed for the input voltage.
