Having the Anderson plug charging system in both your vehicle and caravan wired up correctly to suit the application, will guarantee you get the charge rates specified on the system.
With the uptake of lithium in most modern caravans, this is even more important as the internal resistance of the lithium battery is quite low, it will generally accept any power you give it. This puts stress on the Anderson plugs, cable and fuses in the system. Voltage drop goes through the roof and the result is a disconnecting Dc charger or a melted ‘weak spot’ in the line.
We design all of our Anderson charging systems to suit the power requirements asked by the battery charging system.
An example here is a 50-amp Dc-to-Dc charger located in your caravan some 8-10 meters away from the starter battery. Here, the voltage drops at 12 volt under a massive load are significant. With a correctly designed system, we ensure your caravan batteries charge perfectly and the Dc-to-Dc charger does exactly what it’s meant to do at its rated output.

May 18, 2021We didn’t mind driving up from Melbourne and waiting for over 3 months for a booking to get some of Matt’s 12volt expertise in upgrading our lithium power... read more needs, SatKing Pro satellite and Cel-fi Signal booster and Sirocco fans installation to the bunk as well as additional solar panels on our JB Scorpion Sting. We’d rate Matt’s knowledge to that of an ‘Expert’ in his field. Matt and his apprentice Riley have a lovely disposition, great work ethic and utmost regard for the client’s gear. They covered all surfaces before working on them, even put cardboard on the floor inside the van, taking great care not to scratch or damage the caravan. Even their ladder has a soft protective foam to avoid damage to the van when leaning against it. They arrived on time, worked diligently, cleaned up after themselves and even went the extra mile to repair / amend some rather ordinary factory work on the caravan which was well outside the scope of their engagement with us. We found the price to be reasonable and the quality of their work is unmatched. After sales support is amazing with Matt. He is not shy to answer his phone and attended to your queries. Will be using and recommend Matt’s service in the future without the slightest hesitation. Thank you Matt and Riley. We love the work you have done. We can now free camp for so much longer, have phone reception with Cel-fi booster to work remotely and the SatKing to enjoy TV in the middle of no where and kids can stay cool in WA and the NT with their new fans Cheers Daniel, Preeti and kids!
