Redarc extends lithium battery charger series

The South Australia-based manufacturing company Redarctronic expanded the DC-to-DC car battery charger series by adding two lithium iron phosphate(LFP) devices designed specifically for charging 24vLiFeP040 batteries.

"We now offer two DC to DC chargers for lithium-ion batteries, using chemically specific battery charging algorithms to ensure that they are properly charged to optimal levels," Redarc said in a statement.

The LFP2420 car battery charger is a 24-volt, 20-ampere, three-stage DC-DC charger that can be operated by 9 to 32-volt DC vehicle input. Although the LFP2420-LV works in the same way, it has a lower voltage setting and can therefore use a variable voltage alternator.

Both products are suitable for truck transportation applications, such as rear baffle lifts, sleeper cabin air conditioning and side curtain charging.

The RedarcLFP charger uses a maximum power point tracking(MPPT) solar regulator that allows the use of solar energy to increase the battery's charge. The MPPT regulator can transfer maximum available power from solar panels to auxiliary batteries even in the absence of light.

The unique three-level charging configuration ensures that the auxiliary battery is achieved and maintains the best charging state. The LFP charger continuously monitors the vehicle battery input charging level and closes the charging when the charging falls or the vehicle closes to ensure that the start-up battery does not flatten.

The LFP car battery charger designed and manufactured in Australia is based on the Rearc's award-winning BCDC platform, making it more efficient than similar products on the market.

According to Redarc, lithium iron phosphate batteries have become increasingly popular due to their increased size and weight storage capacity, and are therefore very suitable for entertainment and heavy vehicle power systems. However, they do need specific charging conditions to work properly, and the battery itself must have a battery balance and a built-in battery management system. Redarc considered all these factors and designed a charging profile to supplement the range of available built-in battery systems available.
