General notes:
Charge boosters, also called B2B chargers (Battery to Battery) or charge controllers or simply VCC, ensure optimum charging of the body battery while driving. The latest motorhomes with Euro 6 or Euro 6+ engines are equipped with an intelligent battery management system (BMS), which, among other things, only switches on the alternator when the starter battery needs power again in order to comply with the strict emission standards. This means that the body battery is largely ignored and may not be sufficiently charged.
The charge booster signals to the alternator that charging current is needed and electronically increases the charging voltage for the body battery, also to compensate for line losses. Various charging programmes enable precise setting of the optimum charging characteristic for the body battery. It also disconnects the chassis mains from the body mains, as the battery disconnect relay is removed or deactivated. Up to 30 Ah can be recharged per driving hour with smaller charge boosters.
Charge boosters are useful if
- you own a Euro 6 or Euro 6+ vehicle
- you mainly make short journeys
- you are mainly self-sufficient and want to use the driving time effectively for battery charging
- you only have a small solar system and want to use an additional charging source in bad weather.
You can do without a charging booster for the time being and always retrofit it later, when
- you are connected to shore power again after 1 day at the latest
- you have installed a well-dimensioned solar system (200 Wp or more).
You can install a charge booster yourself if you know what you are doing. If you are unsure, you should definitely consult a specialist.
