For vehicles with Smart Alternators, ensure the D+ (Ignition) wire is connected to a switched live source to trigger the charging cycle correctly.
Questions & Answers
Is this charger suitable for LiFePO4 batteries?
Yes. This unit includes a dedicated charging profile for Lithium (LiFePO4) batteries to ensure they are charged to the correct voltage without damage.
How do I know if it is compatible?
If your vehicle was manufactured after 2015 (Euro 5/6), it likely has a smart alternator. This DC-DC charger is specifically designed to overcome the variable voltage issues associated with these systems.
Does this replace a VSR (Voltage Sensitive Relay)?
Yes, it is a superior alternative to a VSR. While a VSR simply links batteries, this unit actively manages the charge, protecting your batteries and alternator.
