Glide-Rite

The Power Integrator takes inputs from the vehicle alternator, solar panel and wind generator then provides the optimum charge for the leisure battery. The unit can boost the input from the alternator, turning it into a multi-stage charging output more suitable for a leisure battery. When used in solar/wind mode, the system acts as a regulator which can also trickle charge the starter battery and help combat drain during winter storage.

Features:

• Accepts input from Alternator, Solar & Wind
• Provides multi-stage output for battery charging
• Selector for flooded, Gel & AGM
• Trickle charge for starter battery
• Up to 25 Amp output charge
• Uses MPPT technology for optimum charge
• Control Panel (PID10) included

Solar/Wind Mode

When the vehicle ignition is switched off, the unit will operate in Solar/Wind mode. In this mode the power available from a solar panel or wind turbine will be regulated, then used to charge the Leisure and Vehicle batteries. Note that the charge into the vehicle battery is limited to 1 Amp maximum and is designed as a maintenance trickle charge during storage. During operation the unit indicators will light up to show the unit is working correctly.

Battery/Alternator Mode

When the vehicle ignition is switched on the system automatically switches to alternator mode. In this mode the input from the vehicle battery & alternator is used to generate a multi-stage charging output for the leisure battery. If required the input from the vehicle battery is boosted to ensure a suitable charging voltage is always available for the rear battery. If the vehicle battery drops below 10.5 volts then the system switches off to protect the battery.

It has Integrated MPPT, so what does it do?

MPPT controllers convert the incoming power from the solar panel into the optimum volt-age to charge the battery bank. Most solar panels typically produce approx 17.5v at maxi-mum power, however a 12v battery only needs around 14v to charge it. With a normal 'pwm' solar controller this voltage difference is effectively 'lost' - it just disappears in the charging process. However with an MPPT controller, the excess voltage is converted into extra current, which results in more power going into the battery. The MPPT is most effec-tive in hazy/winter days and when the battery charge is low, you reek the benefits when power is needed the most
