Drivetech 4×4 DC-DC Battery Charger
When it comes to off-road journeys, having a reliable power source can make all the difference between a successful adventure and a logistical nightmare. This is where the Drivetech 4×4 DC-DC Battery Charger with Solar Output (DT-02022) comes into play, a game-changing solution designed to meet the demands of serious off-road enthusiasts, weekend warriors, and commercial operators alike.
The Drivetech 4×4 DC-DC Battery Charger is no ordinary charger. It’s a robust, intelligent device engineered to optimise your vehicle’s power management, ensuring your batteries stay charged and ready, regardless of the conditions. Here’s a closer look at its standout features and applications.
Bluetooth Connectivity and Remote Monitoring
Equipped with an easy-to-read remote mount Bluetooth LCD screen, this charger ensures you can monitor your battery status in real time, even from a distance, making it easier than ever to keep tabs on your power levels.
Dual Voltage System
With a capability to handle 12-24V system inputs and provide a 12V output, this charger is versatile enough to suit a variety of setups. Whether you’re driving a rugged off-road vehicle or a comfortable caravan, the Drivetech 4×4 DC-DC Battery Charger has you covered.
IP67 Rated
Built to withstand extreme conditions, the charger boasts an IP67 rating, meaning it’s both dust-tight and protected against water immersion up to 1 metre for 30 minutes. Whether you’re navigating through dusty trails or crossing a river, you can rely on this charger to keep performing.
Modular Design
Thanks to its modular design, you can easily increase the amperage outputs using MST (Modular Sense Technology). This enables you to add extra units to increase your current output as you increase your battery banks as the need arises. If you update to 3 batteries, you can add another charger to increase the output to 60 amps. This scalability ensures that as your power needs grow, your charger can too.
Lithium Battery Compatibility
The charger includes a lithium battery charging profile, ensuring efficient and safe charging for modern lithium batteries. This feature alone makes it an invaluable tool for anyone using advanced battery technology.
Wide Operating Temperature Range
With an operating temperature range of 0-90°C, the Drivetech 4×4 DC-DC Battery Charger is built to perform in the harshest environments. From the frigid cold of high-altitude passes to the scorching heat of desert dunes, this charger remains reliable. This maximum temperature range makes it ideal for under bonnet installations. Many DCDC chargers on the market will start to de-rate at temperatures above 50°C and can even stop charging altogether as they get too hot. The DT02022 will continue to put out up to 30 amps right through to 90°C.

Caravan Installation
When installed in a caravan, the Drivetech 4×4 DC-DC Battery Charger combines solar and vehicle power to deliver a comprehensive multi-stage charge. With the ability to handle solar panels up to 50 volts and with the capacity to manage 450 watts of solar input, opening up great opportunities in the style and size of your solar panels. This not only ensures optimal performance but allows you to enjoy your travels without worrying about power shortages.
4WD Installation
Designed for in-vehicle or under-bonnet installation on 4WDs fitted with traditional or smart alternators, this sophisticated dual battery charger ensures your off-road trips are always powered. Whether you’re exploring remote locations or towing heavy loads, the charger keeps your batteries charged and your electrical systems running smoothly.
The primary function of a DCDC charger is to take the inconsistent voltage from your vehicle’s alternator and smooth it out into a steady, consistent stream of energy that is ideal for your batteries. This ensures that your batteries receive the optimal charge without any damaging fluctuations.
Simplicity: Easy to install and use, making it accessible for both novice and experienced users.
Affordability: Cost-effective compared to other complex power management systems.
Compatibility: Works with various battery types.
