Redarc CE40S2 40A Charge Equaliser

The Redarc 40A Charge Equaliser allows 12V to be 'tapped' from the centre of a two battery, 24V DC electrical system while still giving an equal charge across the two batteries.

This is particularly useful when space or cost prohibits the installation of a separate 12 volt battery. The CE40S2 has a maximum 40A output and offers improved functionality, reduced installation complexity and features input isolation, negating the need for an input relay or isolator. The Redarc Charge Equaliser has a high peak current capability and fast transient response suited for loads requiring a safe, clean and stable 12 volt supply. It has the advantage of drawing power from a battery rather than through a current limited device, like a voltage reducer. This allows for a much larger peak current draw.

The CE40S2 spec sheet lists continuous rating 40A, no load current <100mA, standby current <10mA, operating temperature minus 20°C to 80°C, input voltage 20 to 32V, output voltage 6 to 16V. Dimensions are 120 x 37 x 150 mm (width x height x length), and it weighs 680 g.
