Description
Overview
This DC–DC battery charger charges at 12.6 V, 13.8 V, 14.5 V or 16.8 V from an input of 8–36 V DC. This listing contains 8 models, all with a charging current of 20 A.
Every value below is stated by the supplier for that exact model and has not been independently tested by PVShop. Choose a model above to see its full specifications and download its datasheet. Price and availability depend on your delivery country; the selector above shows the models available for it.
Charge voltages in this listing
- 12.6 V: the usual full-charge voltage of 3-cell lithium-ion (NMC) batteries (11.1 V nominal).
- 13.8 V: check that it matches the charge voltage your battery’s manufacturer specifies.
- 14.5 V: check that it matches the charge voltage your battery’s manufacturer specifies.
- 16.8 V: the usual full-charge voltage of 4-cell lithium-ion (NMC) batteries (14.8 V nominal).
Always use the charge voltage your battery’s manufacturer specifies.

≈ Calculated from output voltage × current; not a separate power rating.
Choosing the right model
- Choose the charge voltage that matches your battery’s chemistry and number of cells.
- Check that the charging current does not exceed your battery’s maximum charge current: for example, a 100 Ah battery limited to 0.5C accepts up to 50 A.
- The input range must cover your source voltage, including the higher voltage while a vehicle’s engine is running.
- Each model has its own PVShop datasheet. It appears with the full specifications when you select the model above.
