Distribuïdor de càrrega Battery Mate 1603 IG 12/24 V

The Mastervolt Battery Mate is an electronic charge distributor designed to split charging current with minimal voltage drop across multiple batteries or battery banks with the same nominal voltage. Its primary function is to ensure simultaneous and optimized charging of these battery banks while preventing current from flowing from one battery to another, thus avoiding mutual discharge.

The Battery Mate integrates advanced electronic technology based on MOSFETs (transistors). These components compensate for voltage drop, ensuring that charging continues at the correct voltage level, even with multiple battery banks, making it more efficient than conventional diode splitters.

The Battery Mate 1603 IG model is designed to simultaneously charge up to three independent battery banks.

The Battery Mate 1603 IG has the following dimensions:

Height: 207 mmWidth: 140 mmDepth: 80 mmIts weight is 1 kg.

The Battery Mate 1603 IG automatically detects the nominal charging voltage, whether it is 12V or 24V.

The Battery Mate 1603 IG is suitable for alternators with a maximum charging current of 160 amperes (intermittent).

The Battery Mate 1603 IG can handle a maximum charger output of 120 amperes (continuous).

No, the voltage drop between the alternator and the battery is negligible (typically 0.1V at 20A, less than 0.4V total), so the Battery Mate ensures fast and complete charging of your batteries without requiring alternator adjustment. The output voltage of the charging source MUST NOT be increased to compensate for diode drop.

A green LED on top of the Battery Mate lights up when the charger or alternator voltage is available at the input, indicating that power input is active.

The Battery Mate is designed to be robust and durable in a marine environment. It is made from materials fully resistant to corrosion and features an aluminum heat sink. Additionally, the electronic components are encapsulated in synthetic materials for enhanced protection.

Yes, the Battery Mate is compatible with all types of chargers and alternators, whether it is a new system or an existing one.

For optimal installation, the Battery Mate should be mounted:

As close as possible to the power source (charger/alternator) and the batteries.In a well-ventilated area, as high currents can cause it to heat up.Preferably on a flat metal surface (never directly on the main engine), with the cooling fins positioned vertically.Never directly above the batteries, due to possible corrosive sulfur vapor emissions.

Before any installation, it is imperative to take the following precautions:

Ensure the power source output (charger/alternator) is switched off and de-energized.Disconnect all electrical connections from the charger/alternator and batteries.Check that no consuming devices are connected to the batteries to avoid any hazardous situation.

The negative terminals of the battery banks and the power source (charger/alternator) must be connected to a common ground.

No, unlike traditional diode-based battery distributors, the Battery Mate causes only a very small voltage drop. Therefore, the output voltage of the charging source MUST NOT be increased to compensate for the voltage drop.

For correct and secure wiring, it is recommended to:

Use cables with an appropriate wire cross-section.Keep cable connections as short as possible.Use reliable cable terminals.Tighten all connection nuts firmly, without over-tightening.

The warranty period for the Mastervolt Battery Mate charge distributor is 2 years.

The Battery Mate warranty can be voided if the device is not used in accordance with the regulations, instructions, and stipulations provided in the user manual. Any damage resulting from non-compliant use or if the device does not meet specifications due to misuse may lead to the warranty being voided.
