{"product_id":"charge-equalizer-40a","title":"Charge Equalizer 40A","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe REDARC 40A Charge Equalizer (CE40S2) 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 CE40S2 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhy 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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","brand":"Redarc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51745506001178,"sku":"RDCCE40S2","price":620.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0975\/8942\/8506\/files\/51Kk0R6-SyL.jpg?v=1771968166","url":"https:\/\/trybeepbeep.com\/products\/charge-equalizer-40a","provider":"TryBeepbeep","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
