For use in dual battery systems in vehicles or on boats where the (smart) alternator and the start battery are used to charge the service battery. The unit can be monitored and programmed via Bluetooth and can be remotely controlled via a remote on\/off switch and has an engine running detection mechanism.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Orion Tr-Smart charger can be used in 12V or 24V systems and is suitable for both lead acid and lithium batteries. Models are available up to 400W and unlimited multiple units can be connected in parallel to increase output power. Suitable for high temperatures up to 55°C with a full rated output up to 40°C. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Orion Smart DC-DC chargers can be used as a power supply or as a battery charger. In charger mode, the three-state charge algorithm will increase battery life by properly charging the battery. Especially in the case of vehicles with a smart alternator or voltage drop caused by long cable runs, controlled charging is indispensable. Controlled charging will also protect the alternator in lithium systems where direct charging can overload the alternator due to the low impedance of the lithium battery. In fixed output mode the output voltage will remain stable independent of the applied load or varying input voltage (within the specified range).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan class=\"text-o-color-5\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBluetooth Smart Enabled:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAny Bluetooth-enabled smartphone, tablet or other device can be used to monitor, change settings and update the charger when new software features become available.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"text-o-color-5\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFully Programmable:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBattery charge algorithm (configurable) or fixed output.
