4. UNDERSTANDING THE UNIT
The Enerdrive ePOWER DC2DC+ Battery Charger is a fully automatic multistage, multi input battery charger with the ability to charge from either an alternator linked to a battery; or via solar power with the in built Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) Solar Controller. With two inputs available, the house battery will be charged from either the engine while underway, or via the solar panels when stationary. The process to choose either engine or solar is fully automatic and both functions are controlled from within the unit itself without the need for external relays.
During normal operation the ePOWER DC2DC+ Battery Charger will do a full charge cycle to float stage on the house battery bank with ability to choose either GEL, AGM, Flooded, Custom Programmable or Lithium. Once float stage is reached the charger transitions to a power supply mode to support on-board DC loads.
Multistage Charging Process - GEL, AGM, Flooded & Program Modes
The ePOWER DC2DC+ Battery Charger is a fully automatic, set and forget charger. It is designed to quickly and accurately recharge your deep cycle batteries utilising charger algorithms that help to maximise the life of your specialised deep cycle batteries.
The ePOWER DC2DC+ Battery Charger features multistage smart charging technology that enables the charger to be connected to your battery banks permanently. With the input of multiple sources, you can be assured of charging your batteries whenever underway; or when the sun is shining on your solar array.
As dictated by battery manufacturer's recommendations, deep cycle batteries require a multistage charge sequence for perfect, fast and accurate charging. The Enerdrive ePOWER DC2DC+ smart charger delivers three primary charge stages.
Stage 1 – Bulk or Boost charge; The battery is charged up to the full rated output current of the charger until the battery reaches its final charging voltage, known as its absorption voltage. In this step, around 80% of the battery is recovered as fast as possible.
Stage 2 – Absorption Charge; With the charger voltage held steady, the remaining 20% is replaced with the charger allowing the current to taper off as the battery approaches full charge.
Stage 3 – Float; Finally, in the float stage the charger voltage is lowered and held at a constant and safe predetermined level. This prevents the battery from being overcharged, yet allows the charger to supply enough current to make up for the self-discharge losses of the battery, while supporting additional loads connected to the battery (such as DC lighting and refrigerators). This stage allows for the charger to be used as a DC power supply.
Lithium Charging Process
The ePOWER DC2DC+ charger has a specific charging profile for Lithium batteries. It has its own charging voltage and current settings that needs to be set by the user. It also requires the user to set the charger termination current ("L" setting). Once the user defined charge voltage is reached, the charger will start reducing the current output and the charging process will terminate when the charging current drops to the set termination current. This can take anywhere between 3 to 15 minutes. The unit will then act as a power supply to support
additional loads connected to the battery while the DC2DC+ is powered from either the vehicle or solar inputs. A Bulk re-start will occur when battery voltage drops below 13.3V DC.
Smart Charging Feature
The ePOWER DC2DC+ Battery Charger will regulate its output based on the loads connected to your battery banks. This function is important to maintain the life of your battery banks as some battery chargers mistake loads for discharge and continue to keep the batteries in the bulk or absorption stage for extended periods of time, which will damage the battery bank. The ePOWER DC2DC+ Battery Charger has two methods of load based regulation to ensure your battery charger transitions to float when it should do so.

* For Concorde™ branded batteries (lifeline, sun xtender) use flooded setting and consult battery supplier for equalisation recommendations.
Note 1: Equalisation setting can only be used on flooded battery type selection only. See more details on Procedure to Equalise the Flooded Battery.
Note 2: Charger will terminate charging when charging current drops to below the set charger termination value.
Note 3: Charger is acting as a power supply with selected constant output voltage and preset maximum output current.
NOTE: The equalisation function although included in the ePOWER DC2DC+ will rarely be used. To activate, the battery bank must be in float, and manually activated. A typical drive will not be long enough for the DC2DC function to complete the process. The MPPT Solar function may provide enough time for Equalisation, but the best recommendation will be an AC powered battery charger.
Battery Bank Size Recommendation
The battery charging current rating is based on the battery size. The battery bank should meet the minimum Ah rating as shown. If a smaller size battery bank is used, set the current rating to a lower value to match with the battery bank size. Normally, the minimum battery bank capacity is based on a C5 rating of the battery for charging.

7. UNIT OPERATION
Understanding The Charging Mechanism
Note 1: The Charger is powered by the battery connected to DC Output (CH1) and also supplied by CH2 or CH3 if available. The display will turn off to save power when Input Channel CH2 and CH3 are out of operating range.
Operating from a Start Battery / Alternator (CH3)
| Normal Operation: | Input Battery / Source | |
| 12V Input 24V Input | ||
| Input Voltage Range 10.5V – 16.0V 21.0– 32.0V | ||
| Normal Start-Up Voltage (Note A) > 13.2V > 26.4V | ||
| Normal Under Voltage Recovery Voltage (Note A) | > 12.8V | > 25.6V |
| Ignition Sense Terminal | Ignition Sense Terminal must see a minimum of 10.5V to trigger low voltage “Priority Mode”. | |
| Low Start-Up Voltage (using Ignition Sense Terminal or using Manual Over-ride setting) (Note B) | > 12.3V > 24.6V | |
| Low Under Voltage Recovery Voltage (Note B) | > 12.0V | > 24.0V |
| De-Rated Voltage (with load) (Note C) | 11.5V | 23.0V |
| Under Voltage Shutdown (with load) | 10.5V | 21.0V |
| Over Voltage Shutdown | 16.0V | 32.0V |
| Over Voltage Recovery | 15.5V | 31.0V |
| Input Battery System Reset Voltage (NoteD) | < 7V | < 7V |
| Maximum Input Current - EN3DC40+ | 50A | 50A |
Note A:
When the battery is charging through CH3 with normal operation (not through Ignition or override setting), the charger will charge for 3 minutes, it will then rest for 5 seconds to verify the Input voltage.
During the 5 seconds rest period, if the measured voltage is >12.8Vdc on a 12V System (>25.6Vdc on a 24V system), the unit will continue the charging cycle through CH3.
If the measured voltage on CH3 is <12.8Vdc (<25.6Vdc on a 24V system), the unit will disconnect from the vehicle source and switch back to charge from CH2 (solar if installed) until the CH3 voltage returns to >13.2Vdc on a 12V System (>26.4V on a 24V system).
Also, during the 3 minutes charging process, if the measured terminal voltage drops below <11.5V for a 12V system, (<23V for a 24V system), the charger will start to derate the output
current. This function is used to compensate for the use of long or thin wire between the Input Battery System and the unit input terminals. If the input voltage continues to drop below the <10.5V for a 12V system (<21V for a 24V system), the charging process will terminate and the unit will switch back to charge from CH2 (solar if installed) if installed. It will only switch back to CH3 if the CH3 voltage is >13.2V on a 12V system (>26.4V on a 24V system.
Note B:
When the unit has activated the battery charging process using the ignition sense terminal (Priority Mode) or using the Manual Override through the unit setting, the input voltage specification is reduced. It has the same charging process but with a Low Start-Up Voltage set to >12.3Vdc 12V system (>24.6V on a 24V system). This feature is designed to be used for vehicles fitted with “Smart Alternators”.
If the measured voltage on CH3 is <12.0 Vdc (<24Vdc on a 24V system), the unit will disconnect from the vehicle source and switch back to charge from CH2 (solar if installed) until the CH3 voltage returns to >12.3Vdc on a 12V System (>24.6V on a 24V system).
The Low Under Voltage Recovery Voltage is set to > 12V (from 12.8V) on a 12V system and > 24V (from 26.4V) on a 24V system. During the 5 second rest period, if the input voltage returns above 12V/24V, it will continue the charging process and if the input voltage does not return to > 12V/24V, it will switch back to charge from the Solar - CH2 (if connected) until the Start - CH3 input has returned to the Low Start-Up voltage of 12.3V on a 12V system and 24.6V on a 24V system.
Note C:
During the 3 minute charging process, if the measured terminal voltage drops below the Under Voltage de-rated limit (11.5V for a 12V system, 23V for a 24V system), the charger will start to de-rate the charger current. This function is used to compensate the use of long or thin cable between the Input Battery and the unit terminals. If the voltage continues to drop to below the Under Voltage Shutdown limit of (10.5V for a 12V system and 21V for a 24V system), the charging process will terminate and the unit will switch back to charge from CH2 (solar if installed). It will only switch back to CH3 if the CH3 voltage returns to 13.2V (12.3v with ignition sense connected) on a 12V system and 26.4V (24.6V with ignition sense connected) on a 24V system.
Note D:
The CH3 DC Input (Battery Input) can accept a 12V or 24V battery with an alternator system. When the unit is first connected, the unit will measure the input voltage. If the voltage is >17V, it will assume it is connected to a 24V Input Battery/Alternator system. If the voltage detect is < 17V, it will assume it is connected to a 12V Input Battery/Alternator system. Once detected, it will store this into the microprocessor and it will only be erased if the Input battery is disconnected or if the measured Input Voltage drops to < 7Vdc.
DC Input (CH2 - Solar / PV):
| PV Input Voltage Range 14.5 - 45V | |
| PV Input Under Voltage Shutdown < 14.5V | |
| PV Input Under Voltage Recovery 15.0V | |
| PV Input Over Voltage Shutdown > 45V | |
| PV Input Over Voltage Recovery = < 44V | |
| PV Charging Mechanism MPPT type ( approx. 97% efficiency) | |
| Maximum Input | 500W *See Note below and “Maximising your Solar Harvest using the DC2DC+” |
*Note: The recommended maximum solar wattage input for the DC2DC+ Charger is 500w. You can however “overdrive” the MPPT controller. Please note that doing this is partially an economic decision. You can install more power than the controller can use and this will contribute to better power availability. Enerdrive suggest a total maximum overdrive of 20% (total 600w). On cloudy (or intermittent sunny) days there will be little or no power shaving and the extra power will serve the battery well with more energy harvest earlier and later in the day.

| ‘CH2’ Icon Solid Charging from CH2 input (solar) | |
- During normal operation, the display will cycle through and show CH1 battery voltage, charging current and charging stage ('bul' – Bulk stage, 'Abs' – Absorption stage, 'Ful' – Float stage) alternatively. When the 'MENU' key is pressed, it will display the other channel's battery voltage only
- CH3 icon will flash when the input voltage is above (> 12 on a 12V system or > 24V on a 24V system and it is not the source charging the battery. It will change to solid when it becomes the source charging the battery.
- CH2 icon will flash when the input voltage is above the Flashing Voltage (> 14.5V) and is not the source charging the battery. It will change to solid when it becomes the source charging the battery.
- During normal operation, Every time the menu button is pressed once, the display will scroll through and show CH1, CH2 & CH3: Voltage' for 3 seconds and it will return to the normal display automatically. If CH2 or CH3 is not connected, it will show 0V.
- The display will remain ON when either one or both CH2 & CH3 inputs are available. The display will turn OFF if CH2 or CH3 is not available.
- During equalisation operation (for flooded batteries only), the numerical section on the display will show a flashing 'eq' indicating the equalisation process is in progress and it will not show the battery voltage or the charging current.
Understanding The Function Key 'MENU', 'SET' And 'SEL' During Charger Setting
CH1 - display is showing the charging battery info (charging status, voltage and current).
CH2 or CH3 - When displayed symbol is solid this means the power is coming from the related channel and the other channel will be flashing if it is connected but not charging.
"V" - Display is showing the voltage
"A" - display is showing the current
"Auto" - units Silent mode is switched on
"Priority" - the units "ignition Sense" terminal is connected or the unit is set to Manual Override mode
"Mode" - charging mode setting*
"Temp" - Temperature setting*
*Will only display when selected setting is active

Digital Display:
- During the charging process, the display shows 'CH1' charging status, voltage and current repeatedly, and 'CH2' or 'CH3' symbol is solid to indicate the active input source. If the other input channel is available and the voltage is above the 'CH2 and CH3 Flashing Voltage' the icon will be flashing. When the menu button is pressed once, the display will change to show CH1 Voltage for 3 seconds, CH2 voltage for 3 seconds and CH3 voltage for 3 seconds. The display will then revert back to normal operation and will show the CH1 info.
- When the Battery (CH1) is fully charged, it will show 'CH1' and 'FLO', voltage and current repeatedly on the display.
- The selected "battery type" icon is always ON at all times during the whole charging process.
- The 'Priority' Icon turns ON when the "ignition sense" terminal is connected or the unit is set to 'Manual Override' mode.
Button Functions:
MENU | ·During normal charging operation, press once to change the display to show·CH1, CH2 and CH3 voltage.·During normal charging operation, press and hold for more than 3 seconds to enter Charger Function Setting Menu·When CH2 or CH3 is not available (voltage detect is below the sense voltage), display will turn OFF. Press once will temporary trigger on the display and it will automatically cycle through all three channels voltage, the software revision and then turn off. |
![]() | ·During the charger Setup Menu, this button is used to confirm the setting and continue to the next menu.·Manual Override Mode: During normal operation, when the input source is charging from CH2, press and hold for more than 10 seconds to turn Priority mode ON, 'Priority' icon on display will turn ON. This will force the charger from being connected to CH2 and connect it to CH3 (subject to CH3 being 12.3v or 24.6V or higher). If CH3 is not connected or out of operating range, it will go back to CH2. This setting mode is used when CH2 (Solar) is available but the charging current is too small due to the availability of sunlight. Use the same procedure to turn off the 'Manual Override' mode when not required.·Please Note:If Manual Override Mode is used and left on there is a risk of flattening the start battery. The preferred method is to use the automatic override method by connecting the ignition source to the ignition terminal of the DC2DC+ charger.·With Flooded Battery Type setting, press and hold the "SET" and "SEL" buttons together for more than 5 seconds will force the charger into Equalized Mode and it will start equalizing the flooded battery. Please note; the battery has to be set to 'Flooded' battery type in-order to have this function activated. |

| SEL | Press the key to view other available settings. |
Understanding the Two-Stage (Mode 2) Charging (Default setting is 3)
The DC2DC+ can be set to act as a 2 stage charger (Bulk/Float). Certain applications may require a 2 stage charge process and by setting this option, the DC2DC+ unit will act accordingly to meet this requirement.
During the Bulk stage, the battery accepts the maximum constant current from the charger. In Float stage, the charger continuously produces a lower constant float voltage to maintain the battery in a fully charged stage.
Understanding The Three-Stage (Mode 3) Charging
The Three-Stage Charging (Mode 3) has a Bulk/Absorption/Float sequence. During the Bulk stage, the battery accepts the maximum constant current from the charger. In the Absorption stage, the battery voltage is held to constant voltage and the charging current will slowly reduce. In Float stage, the charger continuously produces lower constant float voltage to fully top up and maintain the battery in a fully charged stage.
The charger will automatically restart the full charging cycle if it senses the battery bank is discharged to lower than 12.5V for lead acid batteries and 13.3V for lithium batteries.
Understanding The Battery Temperature Functions
The Battery Temperature Sensor is included with the charger to protect your battery and provide better charging voltage accuracy.
When the battery temperature sensor output is used, it is highly recommended to be installed on the main battery bank at the negative terminal. The sensor senses the battery
temperature and overrides the manual temperature settings and makes small adjustments to the charging voltage.
If using lithium batteries, leave temp set to "NOR" (Normal) and leave temp sensor disconnected.
Battery Temperature Compensation:
There are three manual battery temperature settings on the unit ('Lo', 'nor' and 'hi'). See the table below for voltage adjustments for temperature compensation.
| Temperature Setting | Recommended Battery Temperature | Battery Type | Voltage adjustment from 25°C normal setting |
| Low (Lo) < 5°C | GEL, Flooded + 0.675 V | ||
| AGM + 0.525 V | |||
| Normal (Nor) > 5°C and < 30°C | GEL, Flooded 0 V | ||
| AGM 0 V | |||
| High (HI) > 30°C | GEL, Flooded - 0.27 V | ||
| AGM - 0.21 V |
Battery Temperature Sensor (BTS) Voltage Adjustment:
| Battery Temperature | Battery Charging Voltage Adjustment from 25°C | |
| Flooded and GEL type AGM type | ||
| < 25°C + 0.027V / °C + 0.021V / °C | ||
| 25°C 0V | 0V | |
| >25°C | -0.027 / °C | -0.021 / °C |
Note: The above voltage compensation will only work with the supplied Battery Temperature Sensor fitted which will override the unit temperatures' (Lo, Nor, Hi) setting. If using lithium batteries, leave temp setting "NOR" (Normal) and leave temp sensor disconnected.
Procedure To Set Or View Charger Setting
Follow the procedure or sequence in Appendix A1 and A2 (see back of this manual) to set or view the charger setting.
Procedure To Equalise Flooded Batteries

DANGER
Explosion Hazard And Risk Of Battery Damage.
The battery generates explosive gases during equalisation. Follow all the battery safety precautions listed in the manual.
When using the equalisation mode, the user has to be sure the battery connected to the battery charger is a flooded battery type. Equalizing a non-flooded battery may overcharge the battery and may cause the battery to explode.

CAUTION
Risk of battery and equipment damage.
Only Flooded lead-acid can be equalised. Consult your battery manufacturer or read the battery manual when you try to equalise your batteries.
Disconnect any DC load connected to the battery, as during equalise mode, the charger will produce 15.5V to the batteries. You must monitor the battery specific gravity throughout the equalisation process to determine the end of the equalising cycle.
Before setting the equalisation mode, please be sure the battery is a flooded battery type. When the battery equalisation has started, the charger will automatically fully charge the battery bank and will then follow with 1 hour of equalisation. Check the battery electrolyte level during the equalisation period. If necessary, refill with distilled water only. All cells should have similar electrolyte levels. If distilled water is added, batteries must undergo a complete charge cycle. The charger cannot determine when to terminate the equalisation of the battery, a one hour time-out is set and this is used as a safety feature to require the user to continually re-activate it as necessary after checking batteries manually.
Use the following procedure to setup the charger for battery equalisation.
With Flooded Battery Type setting, Press and Hold Button "SET" and "SEL" together for more than 5 seconds. This will force the charger to go into to Equalized mode and it will start equalizing the flooded battery. Please note the battery mode setting has to be set to 'Flooded' battery type in-order to have this function activated.
Understanding The Protection Features
De-rating Charging Current:
When the charger senses the environmental temperature is above 50^ , the maximum charger current will de-rate to 1/2 of the set value (A01 warning code will display). The charger will recover automatically back to maximum charging current when the environmental temperature drops to below 45^ .
Over Temperature Shutdown:
When the charger senses the environmental temperature is above 60^ C , the charger will shutdown. It will recover automatically when the environmental temperature drops to below 45^ C .
Battery Reverse Polarity:
When a reverse polarity is connected to the battery bank, "Error Code E08" on the display will appear.
Charging A Flat Battery
The charger is designed to charge batteries with terminal voltage greater than 8.0Vdc.
Re-charging a flat battery requires extreme care and attention. It is best to re-charge using short frequent cycles rather than one long bulk cycle. Battery damage or failure may occur if the battery is discharged so deeply.
Understanding The Display Codes
Codes will show on the display when either a function or internal warning / fault, such as high internal temperature or DC out of range is detected and the charger may shut down to protect itself until the fault has cleared. See table description below for more information.
| Code Description | |
| BUL | The charger is in Bulk Charging ModeBulk or Boost charge; The battery is charged at the set rated output current of the charger until the battery reaches its final charging voltage, known as its absorption voltage. In this step, around 80% of the battery is recovered as fast as possible. |
| Abs | The Charger is in Absorption Charging ModeAbsorption Charge; With the charger voltage held steady, the remaining 20% is replaced with the charger allowing the current to taper off as the battery approaches full charge. |
| FUL | The charger is in Float Charging & Power Supply ModeFloat; Finally, in the float stage the charger voltage is lowered and held at a constant and safe predetermined level. This prevents the battery from being overcharged, yet allows the charger to supply enough current to make up for the self-discharge losses of the battery, while supporting additional loads connected to the battery (such as DC lighting and refrigerators). This stage allows for the charger to be used as a DC power supply. |
| CHE | CH3 Input Voltage CheckThis will display for 5 seconds every 3 minutes while charging from the alternator input (CH3) and is normal operation when the charger is checking the under voltage recovery limit (see page 18 for details). |
| E01 | CH3 High Input Voltage ShutdownThis means the unit has detected the input from the Start/Alternator has gone above 16.0V on a 12V input or 32.0V on a 24V input. This error will clear once the input has dropped below 15.5V on a 12V input or 31.0V on a 24V input. |
| E02 | CH3 Low Input Voltage ShutdownThis means the unit has detected that the input from the Start/Alternator has gone below 10.5V on a 12V input or 21.0V on a 24V input. This error will clear once the input has risen above 13.2V on a 12V input or 26.4V on a 24V input.If you have this error:Check that the voltage of your Start Battery is above 13.2V on a 12V input or 26.4V on a 24V input.Check that you have not left the "Priority" (Override) feature activated (Manual or Auto)Check that the battery cable from the Start Battery is correctly sized.Check you don't have a loose terminal or blown fuse. |
| E03 | CH2 High Input Voltage ShutdownThis means the unit has detected the input from the solar has gone above 45.0V. This error will clear once the input has dropped below 44.0V.If you have this error:Check the specification of your panels - the Volts Open Circuit (VOC) should not exceed 45VOCMake sure the solar panels have not been connected in series as this will increase the VOC voltage of the panel array.Please Note: Maximum solar VOC input must not exceed 45VOC or damage to the unit will occur. |
| E04 | CH2 Low Input Voltage ShutdownThis means the unit has detected the input from the Solar Array cannot sustain voltage above 14.5v.If you have this error:Check that you are not in a low light/non direct sunlight situation i.e. Early morning / late afternoon.This may also happen if your solar panels are inside in a shed with a skylight or Hi Bay Lights running or outside under Flood Lights.If you find this is happening with your unit when stored, we recommend fitting a DC Breaker to the output of the DC2DC+ and turning it off when the unit is not in use/storage. |
| E05 | CH1 High Input Voltage ShutdownThis means the unit has detected that the Main/House battery has gone above 16.0V. This error will clear once the input has dropped below 15.5V.This may be due to charging from another source. i.e. Another solar controller or AC battery charger. |
| E06 | Over Temperature ShutdownWhen the charger senses the environmental temperature above 60°C, the charger will Shut down. It will recover automatically when the environmental temperature drops below 45°C.Check to make sure the fan is working.Make sure the unit has good ventilation. |
| E07 | BTS Over Temperature ShutdownThis means the units Battery Temp Sensor has detected that the batteries are too hot and has shut down to not over charge the batteries.If this occurs, take care and check the temperature of the batteries.If the Batteries are Hot -you may have a dropped cell or faulty battery. Stop all charging and see your local battery shop to get your batteries tested.If the Batteries/Terminals are still cool or only warm, you may have a bad temp sensor. Unplug the temp sensor and call Enerdrive. |
| E08 | CH1 Output Short CircuitThis means there is a Short Circuit on the DC output to your Main/House battery.If this is displayed, check the following:The output wires are not shorted together.The output wires are wired correctly and not reverse polarity. |
| A01 | Over Temperature WarningWhen the charger's internal temperature is >60°C, the unit will shut down to protect itself. The unit will return back to normal charging once the internal temperature is <58°CCheck to make sure the fan is working.Make sure the unit has good ventilation. |
| A02 | BTS High Temperature WarningWhen the battery temperature sensor is >58°C, the unit will shut down to protect the batteries. The unit will return back to normal charging once the battery temperature sensor is <56°C.Check to make sure the batteries are not hot.Make sure the batteries have good ventilation. |
