{"product_id":"charge-equalizer-25a","title":"Charge Equalizer 25A","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe REDARC 25A Charge Equalizer (CE25S2) is designed to manage a 12 volt supply in a high current, 24-volt vehicle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt allows 12 volts to be tapped from the center of a series-connected, two battery, 24 volt DC electrical system while still ensuring an equal charge across the two batteries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eREDARC Charge Equalizers draw their power from a battery, rather than from a current limited device.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis allows for a larger peak current draw.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause of their high peak current capability and fast transient response, REDARC Charge Equalizers are ideally suited to loads that require a clean, safe and stable 12 volt supply.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn addition, the CE25S2 features input isolation which removes the need for an input relay or isolator, making it easy to install.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eREDARC Charge Equalizers have proven their reliability in commercial applications under the harshest conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCalifornia residents: see?Proposition 65 information Why do I need a charge equalizer??\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTaking 12 volts from the centre point of a 24-volt battery bank is a common way to use 12 volt devices on heavy transport vehicles and earth?moving machinery.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA good example of this is an electric hydraulic pump for lifting tailgates, decks, ramps, or cranes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis has enabled high current loads to draw the power whilst the engine is running without a dedicated (auxiliary) 12 volt battery of their own.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHowever, this can cause the 'lower' battery to be undercharged and the 'upper' battery to be overcharged, causing the batteries to be unbalanced.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis can cause: Poor engine starting Poor operation of 12 volt loads Sensitive load dropouts Visible leakage of distortion of the upper batteries Costly battery servicing Reduced battery life and premature battery failure The solution is a Charge Equalizer, whose job is to monitor the voltages on both the upper and lower batteries and manage current flow between them at a rate that means the two batteries have the same charging effort applied at all times.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith the addition of\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Redarc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51745505968410,"sku":"RDCCE25","price":535.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0975\/8942\/8506\/files\/51FcDQaXW4L.jpg?v=1771968164","url":"https:\/\/trybeepbeep.com\/products\/charge-equalizer-25a","provider":"TryBeepbeep","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
