With motor homes, campers, boats, trucks and even SUVs increasingly equipped with 24-Volt power to cope with extra electrical connections, it presents a challenge when running 12-Volt equipment, such as TVs, computers, radios, lighting and for charging items such as mobile phones and tablets.
Now battery specialist, Projecta, has introduced a convenient solution to New Zealand that takes the hassle out of miss-matched voltage issues.
Projecta’s new range of voltage reducers are ideal for powering 12V equipment from a 24V source and they are available from stockists now.
“People with 24V vehicles or craft will try to run power from just one of the pair of 12V batteries, which ends up making one of them flat – the voltage reducer is a much better idea, as it safely draws from both batteries,” says Tim Paterson, of NARVA New Zealand, which distributes Projecta products in this market.
Compact in size, the easy-to-fit 5, 10, 20 and 30-Amp Projecta voltage reducers are up to 95% efficient and able to perform at high operating temperatures with no decrease in power output.
With a wide input range of 15-40V and maintaining a stable 13.6V output, they are extremely versatile and suitable for a wide range of leisure and work applications and offer total safeguard protection, including voltage, temperature, overload, reverse polarity and short-circuit protection, which ensures safe operation of sensitive communication and other electrical devices.
Featuring a fully sealed (IP68), vibration-resistant, dust and water-proof diecast aluminium housing, these units are ideal for outdoor use, delivering ultimate reliability and performance.
Each model within the range features ignition switched output, whilst the 5-Amp model also features constant output voltage, ideal for vehicle radio memory.
The Projecta range of voltage reducers are available from leading automotive retail outlets throughout New Zealand.
