Many vehicle owners expect the electric generator to
completely recharge leisure batteries during the drive.
When the battery is beginning to fail, however, they
quickly realise it often doesn´t work that way.
The reason is insufficient cabling (supply cables too long,
cross section too small), as frequently encountered in
caravans. Electronics specialist WAECO has developed a neat
solution for this problem: the PerfectCharge IU charging
converter, available in three performance categories.
The IU charging converter is simply integrated into the wiring of
the starter and leisure batteries. Raising the charging voltage to
14.2 volts, it ensures optimal charging during the drive.
The converter can be switched on or off by an external control signal,
e.g. the D+ from the generator. You can also use a 12-volt switch.
Moreover, the charging converter stabilises the voltage supply. This
makes it ideal for sensitive 12-volt appliances (e.g. navigation systems,
LCD monitors), which require a constant and stable voltage.
To benefit from the stabilising effect, the IU charging converter is
integrated into the supply cord of the consumer. The unit compensates
over- and under-voltage in a range between 8 and 16 volts, thus
preventing failure of or damage to the appliance.
