AVSPC10 Amber Valley Charge Guard Intelligent Split Charge Unit Voltage Controlled Relay 12V 70A

Amber Valley Developments LLP Based in the UK, is an international speciality manufacturer of vehicle safety equipment. Amber Valley is one of the largest independent European manufacturers of reversing safety, vehicle battery and engine protection products in the commercial vehicle industry. They are constantly in the process of pioneering modern and innovative safety products which meet rigorous industry safety standards.

Operation: When the engine is running the device senses the voltage from the alternator and allows the battery to charge the auxiliary battery. When the voltage to the main battery drops the unit isolates and separates both batteries. This means the starting battery will always have enough power to start and the auxiliary battery will never be able to drain it. Operational voltages (12V) 13.4 – 12.6V & (24V) 27.0 – 25.4V. An essential unit especially where “intelligent” alternators are fitted.

These units are ideally suited to 12V or 24V vehicles where “under bonnet” space is at a premium. They come complete with a 3M mounting pad.

It senses when the engine is running and allows the charge through to the auxiliary battery, when the engine is switched off it will monitor the voltage coming from the starting battery. When the voltage drops to 12.6V (AVSPC10) or 25.2V (AVSPC20) the unit will separate and isolate the batteries, guaranteeing sufficient power in the starting battery to start the vehicle when the voltage has dropped to a predetermined level.

The unit now has a one minute timer built in to eliminate damaging relay chatter caused by a flat auxiliary battery putting too much strain on the unit.
