Balmar Digital Duo Charge 12/24V Battery Combiner for Dual Bank Charging

Digital Duo Charge - 12/24V

The Digital Duo Charge (DDC-12/24) provides a hands off solution for charging two battery banks without the use of problematic isolators or manual battery switches. During charging the DDC-12/24 monitors voltage at the house battery. When voltage exceeds the set minimum (typically 13.2V in a 12V system and 26.4V in a 24V system) the DDC-12/24 automatically engages, providing up to 30A charge current to the starting battery. When no charge source is present, the DDC-12/24 separates the batteries so the starting battery wont be accidentally discharged into the house battery. An optional solenoid control enables higher start battery charging output when required.

Features:

• Multi Bank Charging
• The DDC is a Solid-State Battery Combiner
• Control Voltage and Current between House and Start Batteries
• Eliminates the Need for an Isolator, Relay or Manually Operated Battery Switch
• Used in Concert with Max Charge or ARS-5 Regulators
• Can also be Employed without a Balmar Regulator
• Works in Both 12V and 24V Applications
• House and Start Batteries can be different technologies
• Start Battery Temperature Sensing Available with the MC-TS-B Sensor Cable
• 4 Battery Programs Supported for the Start Battery:
• Standard Flooded, Deep Cycle Flooded, AGM and Gel Cell

The Balmar Digital Duo Charge (DDC-12/24) offers a reliable, maintenance-free solution for managing two separate battery banks without the need for traditional isolators or manual switches. Designed for both 12V and 24V systems, this solid-state battery combiner automatically monitors the voltage levels of your house battery, engaging when the voltage exceeds a typical threshold of 13.2 volts for 12V systems or 26.4 volts for 24V systems. When activated, it supplies up to 30 amps of charging current to the starting battery, ensuring your engine starts reliably without manual intervention. When the charging source is disconnected, the DDC-12/24 isolates the batteries to prevent accidental discharge of the starting battery into the house bank, enhancing overall system safety and efficiency. An optional solenoid control feature allows for increased charge output when needed, making it adaptable to various power setups and demands. The device is compatible with a range of battery types, including flooded, AGM, gel cell, and deep cycle batteries, providing versatility across different applications. It integrates seamlessly with Max Charge or ARS-5 regulators but can also be employed independently, offering flexibility for custom installations. The Balmar DDC-12/24 is an essential component for marine, RV, or off-grid systems where reliable, automated battery management is crucial for maintaining optimal power readiness and longevity.
