Part of the Intelli-Charge DC/Solar Range, the Projecta IDC45 is an intelligent DC to DC dual battery charger with sophisticated Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) solar regulator technology that can be manually tailored to suit a range of battery types.
Deep cycle batteries cannot be completely charged from a vehicle's alternator, which only delivers a single voltage, typically 13.8V. This voltage under charges and reduces the life of the deep cycle battery. The 3-stage charge delivered by the IDC range of chargers inputs a tailored charge specific to the selected battery, ensuring increased performance and life of your deep cycle battery. The first stage, bulk, charges the battery faster, while the second stage, absorption, ensures the battery is thoroughly charged. The final stage, float, maintains the battery ready for use and can be left connected indefinitely.
Sealed to IP67, the IDC45 is dust, splash, and shock proof and can safely operate in extreme temperatures up to 80°C. You can set the charging profile to suit battery chemistry type: Wet, Calcium, AGM, or Gel, not suitable for Lithium batteries. It combines your solar and vehicle's power to deliver a comprehensive multi-stage charge ensuring longer battery life and performance.
45A Solar MPPT: Operates as a solar controller, maximising the power generated from panels.
Sealed to IP67: Dust, splash, and shock proof, capable of safely operating at a reduced charge rate in extreme temperatures up to 80°C.
Compatible with smart and conventional alternators: Works with both alternator types for broad vehicle compatibility.
Multi chemistry compatibility: Suits Wet, Calcium, AGM, or Gel batteries, not suitable for Lithium batteries.
Simultaneous dual input charging: Charges from both solar and alternator inputs at the same time for faster, more reliable battery maintenance.
3-stage tailored charging: Bulk, absorption, and float stages provide a tailored charge specific to the selected battery, ensuring increased performance and battery life.
Comprehensive protection: Over temperature, reverse connection, over/under voltage, and spark free protection.
