12V / 24V to 48V DC to DC Chargers 60A input and 26A output model (1600W input and 1500W output) - E-Marking | BB1248120

5 Years Warranty - From 1st November 2024

If you need 24V input to 48V output - please order on this page.

Please note the part number for 24V input is also BB1248120 as they do both 12V input AND 24V input - auto detects between.

Also, available now - BB124865 - a smaller / lower powered derivative of the BB1248120. 12V and 24V input to 48V 750W battery to battery charger. Exactly the same features. Just smaller and less expensive. Available now.

Frequently asked questions regarding the BB1248120 | BB124865.

A common question is whether the BB1248120 is capable of charging 16 string (16S) (51.2V LiFePO4 batteries (rack style). The answer to this is absolutely yes, no issues - what the unit is made for, really.

In order to charge a 15S battery (Pylontech 48V for example) you shall require a BBR (remote) to set the charge voltage for the 15S (48.0V batteries). If the desired charge voltage is between 53.0V and 54.0V a BBR is required to change the charge voltages. There is a slight reduction in charge power, as below - depending on how low you set the charge voltage. If you set the charge voltage to 54.0V - you can get 1400W output power.

The BB1248120 can be used for charging 16S Lithium batteries ~1500W (at 57.6V)
The BB1248120 can be used for charging 15S Lithium batteries ~1400W (at 54.0V) - BBR required

BB1248120 Reverse Charging Feature.

The BB1248120 is able to charge in both directions. Provided there is over 52.8V on the leisure battery (54.0V if lithium) and the starter battery is below 26V the BB shall allow approximately 20A to flow back to the starter battery up to about 26.8V (float voltage). It simply allows the starter battery to remain topped up when there is surplus energy in the domestic battery. This feature will NOT drain your domestic battery - it simply takes surplus. Once your alternator / engine turns on or you provide the BB with an ignition signal the BB reverts to normal charging of the leisure battery. This mode can be disabled, but is on as default.

This is ideal for allowing the starter battery to remain topped up when you have solar / wind / charger - charging up your leisure battery.

Battery to Battery Charger Remote Control - BBR

(Optional)

BBR comes with 4m extension cable

What does the BBR offer?
- Live voltage and current readings from BB output
- Ability to set custom charge profiles | absorption, float and absorption time length
- Ability to adjust current limit to 85%, 65% or full power (100%)
- Allows the removal of float voltage feature in lithium profiles
- Desulphation / equilisation settings can be set in LEAD modes.

Why adjust the current limit?

The default current setting for the BB range is 100% - meaning that the performance default is full power. If you wish to reduce the performance of the BB, here you can set to 85% or 65% charge rate. Examples of why you may wish to reduce performance:
1) if you have solar panels and the weather is good, by reducing the power of the BB, you shall conserve fuel.
2) The alternator is better suited running at slightly lower current than what was expected.
3) It may be recommended by your battery supplier to charge the battery up at a slightly lower current. If one of your lithium batteries within your leisure battery bank fails, you may be exceeding the C rating of the remaining batteries.
4) future proofing. If you have installed a high powered BB, in the assumption that one day you shall put a larger alternator on and/or more batteries in your system. You can reduce the power for the immediate install and increase the performance of the unit at a later date.
