What does a DC to DC battery charger do?
A DC to DC battery charger works with a 12V battery by isolating your main 12V battery system from the vehicle’s alternator. The DC to DC charger will then boost the charge of the main battery to maximize its charging capacity. This process will allow you to get your battery 100% charged after a day of driving.
Can a DC to DC charger charge two batteries?
Whether you’re overlanding, taking the kids on a trip in the RV, or just want to keep your vehicle’s battery fully charged, you can’t go past a DC to DC charger. Dual input battery chargers are solar ready and suitable for battery types including lithium, AGM, GEL, standard lead acid and calcium.
Are DC to DC chargers necessary?
We recommend DC to DC chargers over isolators because they protect the vehicle’s alternator, and maximize the battery’s lifespan. DC to DC chargers provide a multi-stage charge to the house battery and push more charge current than an isolator.
What is a good DC to DC charger?
