DC to DC Chargers are relatively new to the 4×4 dual battery market. However, they’ve proven invaluable in modern vehicles with intelligent alternators or low-voltage charging systems.
That’s because DC to DC chargers feature sophisticated charging algorithms that allow them to “step up” the charging voltage to better match the battery’s needs.
The other noticeable benefit of a DC to DC charger is that they’re often lithium-battery compatible.
Unlike solenoid-based dual battery systems, which connect directly to the vehicle’s alternator and can draw very high amps, a DC–to–DC charger can moderate the charging process, making it safe to use on lithium batteries without risking damage to your alternator.
That said, charging currents can vastly vary between DC to DC systems, with higher amp units typically costing more than lower amperages. However, the most complex part of DC to DC chargers may be deciding which option is right for you.
