Magnum Energy ME-SBC Smart Battery Combiner
The Magnum Energy ME-SBC Smart Battery Combiner is designed to monitor and charge a secondary battery using a portion of the charging current being supplied to a primary battery.
The ME-SBC uses a MOSFET-based bidirectional electronic switching circuit to minimize voltage drop while automatically connecting and disconnecting the secondary battery based on adjustable voltage setpoints. This allows two battery banks to be charged from a single charging source while helping prevent overcharging or excessive discharge.
Features
-
Charges a Secondary Battery: Uses available charging current from the primary battery charging source to maintain a second battery bank.
-
MOSFET Switching: Provides efficient bidirectional switching with minimal voltage drop.
-
Automatic Operation: Connects and disconnects based on adjustable voltage setpoints.
-
Supports 12V and 24V Systems: Compatible with nominal 12VDC and 24VDC battery systems.
-
25A Continuous Current Rating: Supports up to 25A of continuous DC current.
-
Low Power Consumption: Designed with very low operating and standby tare losses.
-
Helps Protect Battery Banks: Automatic switching helps reduce the risk of overcharging or excessive discharge.
