DC/DC Chargers & Battery Isolators: optimise your van's electrical autonomy

A reliable electrical system is essential to fully enjoy your converted van. To charge your auxiliary battery while driving, you have a choice between two main solutions: the DC/DC charger and the battery isolator. Each offers advantages depending on your installation and the type of battery used.

At Heode, we have selected high-performance chargers and battery isolators, suitable for AGM, Gel, Lead and Lithium batteries, to guarantee you efficient and safe charging.

What is the difference between a DC/DC charger and a battery isolator?

  • DC/DC charger: Regulates the charge between the alternator and the auxiliary battery for maximum efficiency, particularly for lithium batteries.
  • Battery isolator: Directly connects the starter battery and the auxiliary battery, allowing automatic recharging whilst driving, whilst protecting the starter battery against discharge.

Which equipment to choose for your converted van?

  • For a lithium battery: A DC/DC charger is highly recommended to avoid overcharging and ensure optimised charging.
  • For a simple and economical installation: A battery isolator is sufficient for AGM or Gel batteries.
  • To maximise autonomy: Combine a 12V/230V inverter or a solar charger with your installation.
  • For long journeys: A powerful DC/DC charger enables fast and efficient charging.
