Mobile energy systems
The IU charging converter is simply integrated into the wiring of the starter and leisure batteries. Raising the
charging voltage to 14.2 volts, it ensures optimal charging during the drive.
The converter can be switched on or off by an external control signal, e.g. the D+ from the generator. You can also
use a 12-volt switch.
Moreover, the charging converter stabilises the voltage supply. This makes it ideal for sensitive 12-volt appliances
(e.g. navigation systems, LCD monitors), which require a constant and stable voltage.
To benefit from the stabilising effect, the IU charging converter is integrated into the supply cord of the appliance.
The unit compensates for over- and under-voltage in a range between 8 – 16 volts, thus preventing failure of or
damage to the appliance.
IU CHARGING CONVERTERS
BATTERY RECHARGE ON THE MOVE
Many vehicle owners expect the electric generator to completely recharge leisure batteries during the drive. When
the battery is beginning to fail, however, they quickly realise it often doesn’t work that way. The reason is insufficient
cabling (supply cables too long, cross section too small), as frequently encountered in caravans. Electronics special-
ist WAECO has developed a neat solution for this problem: the PerfectCharge IU charging converter, which ensures
optimal charging during the drive, and is available in three performance categories.
