Battery Equalisers
REDARC Battery Equalisers are designed to manage a high current 12 volt supply in a 24 volt vehicle. REDARC Battery Charge Equalisers allow 12 volts to be 'tapped' from the centre of a series-connected, two battery, 24 volt DC Electrical system while still ensuring an equal charge across the two batteries. Battery equalisers are an important part of automotive electronics, and they play a vital role in ensuring the performance and reliability of your dual battery system.
BATTERY CHARGE EQUALISERS FOR OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE
Available in two models, 25 amp (CE25) and 40 amp (CE40S2) variants, REDARC battery equalisers split battery power evenly between two batteries and manage the charge of a 12v load in a 24 volt vehicle. The state-of-the-art 25 and 40 amp models feature automatic isolation and boast the most efficient design and compact hardware available. They’re also potted and sealed to protect against high temperature, dust and water ingress.
MAIN BENEFITS OF A BATTERY EQUALISER IN A 24 VOLT VEHICLE
Improved battery performance: By ensuring that both batteries in a 24 volt system are always charged equally, a battery equaliser can help to improve the overall system. This can lead to increased range, longer battery life, and better overall performance.
Extended battery life: By reducing the stress on individual cells, a battery equaliser can help to extend the lifespan of a dual battery pack. This is because the equalisers will balance the voltages of the cells, preventing any one cell from being over charged or discharged.
Reduced maintenance costs: Battery equalisers can help to reduce the maintenance costs associated with your battery system. This is because they can help to prevent problems such as cell failure and thermal runaway which may contribute to premature battery failure.
WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A BATTERY STABILISER AND A BATTERY EQUALISER
A battery stabiliser, also known as a battery support unit, maintains a constant voltage to a battery. This is important because batteries can experience voltage fluctuations due to a variety of factors, such as load changes, charging and environmental conditions. Voltage fluctuations can damage sensitive electronic equipment and reduce the performance and lifespan of batteries.
A battery equaliser, on the other hand, balances the voltages of individual cells or batteries in a battery pack or series-connected dual battery system. This is important to ensure a balanced voltage across both batteries. If there’s an imbalance, the performance and lifespan of the batteries may be reduced.
BATTERY EQUALISER FAQ
DO BATTERY EQUALISERS WORK?
Yes, battery equalisers work. They have been shown to be effective in extending the lifespan of battery packs and improving their performance.
There is a wealth of scientific evidence to support the use of battery equalisers, for example this study published in the journal "IEEE Transactions on Industrial Electronics".
WHEN SHOULD YOU USE A BATTERY EQUALISER?
You should use a battery equaliser if you are using a battery pack in any application where the battery pack is subjected to different load or charging conditions, or where the battery pack is made up of multiple cells.
Some specific examples include:
- Electric vehicles (EVs)
- Solar energy systems
- Marine batteries
- Industrial batteries
- Backup batteries for critical systems
- Batteries used in off-grid power systems
Battery equalisers are also a good idea to use if you are using a battery pack that is exposed to extreme temperatures or other harsh environmental conditions.
