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.

July 1, 2018Not only was Matt very efficient - professional and extremely knowledgeable about the work he does, he is also 'old school' when it comes to manners - respect and friendliness.... read more He also took the time to explain and look at a couple of other other things on/in my van that I didn't understand and that had nothing to do with the solar panels that he was installing for me. Also, when the job was completed he cleaned up after himself !? I am extremely happy with the job and also had a very pleasant few hours in Matt's company. I would highly recommend "Extreme Auto & Marine" to all. THANK YOU so much Matt !!

May 12, 2019There are good reasons that these guys are flat out and booked months in advance. Courteous, punctual, knowledgeable and informative, but most of all, their work is of the highest... read more quality. Matt and Riley did a great job upgrading the power and solar capabilities of our Eagle Cherokee and fixed the Anderson set up on our Prado (that was new but substandard) and even wired up a new set of spotlights too. Matt explained a number of shortcomings and misconceptions regarding some of the "plug and play" harness and wiring looms that get sold to unknowing customers (me) and saved me time, effort and likely damage had I attempted the job myself. I cannot recommend these guys highly enough.
