The BCD601–24–12 is a Battery Equalizer that safely permits 12 Volts to
be drawn of a 24V Battery bank. The unit is connected across the 24V
battery bank, and its output is connected to the 12V midpoint of the
battery bank. 12 Volt loads may now be connected to the lower battery,
and providing the average load is less than the output capacity of the
Battery Equalizer, both batteries will be maintained at the correct voltage.
The BCD601–24–12 has a capacity of 50 amps. Units can be connected
in parallel for even greater capacity.
The way that these units work is that the output is set to exactly ½ of the
input voltage. Then as the load on the lower batt ery is applied, the unit
takes current from the upper battery and feeds it to the lower battery to
keep each at exactly ½ of the total voltage. The units are compatible with
all 24V battery chargers and alternators.
Available options include a remote control and/or extra-wide temperature.
We are confident that you will get many years of reliable service from this
Battery Equalizer.
