STEALTH 1 DC
The STEALTH DC is 6.5 * 6.25 * 1.875 (W, L, H), weight is slightly over 3.5lb, weather proof, with LED indication of operation. Its design utilizes the latest technology available. STEALTH DC itself is all solid state, very compact with a robust base, which serves as a heatsink for the semiconductors and the mounting base. The charger is truly “SMART”. The unit is monitoring input and output simultaneously.
In every circuit (12/24/36 VDC) the charger has one common feature. The input of the charger is connected in parallel to the “cranking” battery! When the engine (outboard, inboard) is started, the voltage of the cranking battery drops momentarily due to the current required for starting. After voltage rises above13VDC the STEALTH DC steps in. First, it recognizes that there is power available on its input from the engine’s alternator. Simultaneously it is monitoring output (the charge condition of the trolling batteries). If these are under maximum charged level, whatever power is available from the alternator is transferred to the trolling batteries until the batteries are fully charged or the engine is shut off. If the alternator continues to run the current flow is reduce to a float charge to maintain the trolling batteries “action ready”. A green LED emits from the center of one terminal indicating that power is available to the charger, the red light from the other terminal indicates that there is power available to the output. Neither of the lights indicate, that charger is charging! It is strictly an indication that input / output voltage is present.
