– Integrated 80V/20A MPPT Solar Regulator
Our latest hybrid 260Ah lithium dual battery system now features our powerful integrated 80V/20A MPPT solar charger. You can now see the extra solar supply input via a dedicated shunt via our Bluetooth monitoring system.
The 260Ah DBS is supplied with 2 x DCS 130Ah Hybrid Batteries, one battery is configured as a Right Hand Positive and the second battery is configured as a Left Hand Positive that also has the solar MPPT input socket. Part of the system you also get a IP67 aviation to Anderson Plug cable, to plug and play your solar supply.
All DCS dual battery systems (DBS) are supplied with the fully programmed Victron Smart Battery Protect’s which are a load disconnect. This device is what governs the reserve for engine starting. Very efficient only drawing 1.2mA when engaged. We recommend to use the top 80% for deep cycling for accessories and the remaining 20% is reserved for engine cranking. The SBP’s should be installed inside a dry compartment and you should be protecting as many of accessory loads as possible, USB sockets, fridges, lighting, UHFs, Cel-Fi’s, radars, chart plotters etc.. Inverters over 300W must be wired directly to the batteries bypassing the SBP’s.
With two of the DCS 130Ah Hybrid batteries connected in parallel you can charge up to a maximum of 125A x 2 = 210A. So ideally keep alternators under 210A. All DCS batteries feature our high performance 2C cylindrical cells, and this mechanical design is very efficient so it’s very easy to recharge these batteries, there is no need to install aftermarket alternators, OEM alternators are the best for our batteries and will charge them back up very fast. If your running a vehicle with a lazy smart alternator focus on installing a quality commercial solar panel something at least 360W+ as our powerful 20A MPPT is able to yield in excess of 100Ah per day. Which will easily keep the batteries topped up when running a standard sized fridge and basic accessories.
This system is suitable for just about every make/model of 4WD on the market and boats that can accommodate these sized batteries in the engine bay or of course in cabins and other compartments.
