With up to 500 W of charging power, it turns travel time into charging time and reduces your dependence on campground hookups, solar panels or a fuel-powered generator.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts compact design makes it easy to integrate into camper vans, RVs, SUVs and pickup trucks. Under optimal conditions, EcoFlow states that the charger can replenish approximately 1 kWh in only 2.1 hours. Its 3-in-1 design also supports reverse charging and battery maintenance when used with compatible EcoFlow equipment and the required connection cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCharging output:\u003c\/strong\u003e Up to 500 W at 40–60 V.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e24 V output:\u003c\/strong\u003e Up to 360 W.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVehicle input:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 V \/ 24 V, 11–31 V, up to 45 A.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReverse charging:\u003c\/strong\u003e Up to 500 W with a compatible EcoFlow setup.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBattery maintenance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Up to 100 W.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFuse rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e 125 A.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e EcoFlow DELTA and RIVER power stations plus many third-party portable power stations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded connection:\u003c\/strong\u003e XT60 output cable.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 242 × 194 × 35 mm.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 1.6 kg.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOperating temperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e -20°C to 60°C.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConnectivity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wi-Fi and Bluetooth through the EcoFlow app.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProtection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Reverse polarity, overcurrent, short circuit, overvoltage and undervoltage protection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe main advantage of this DC DC alternator charger is its ability to recover energy from the vehicle while you are already travelling. Instead of relying entirely on solar panels or waiting for access to grid power, your portable power station can recharge during the drive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEcoFlow states that approximately 1 kWh can be replenished in about 2.1 hours when the charger is operating at full output. This means longer drives can significantly increase the energy available once you arrive at camp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e3-in-1 DC DC Alternator Charger Functions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe EcoFlow 500 W charger can do more than simply recharge a portable power station. When connected to a compatible DELTA product using the required XT150 cable, energy can also flow in the opposite direction from the power station to the vehicle battery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReverse Charging Mode\u003c\/strong\u003e delivers up to 500 W to help recharge a vehicle starter battery or RV house battery. \u003cstrong\u003eBattery Maintenance Mode\u003c\/strong\u003e provides up to 100 W for lower-current battery maintenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe included XT60 cable supports standard portable power station charging. Reverse charging and battery maintenance require an XT150 cable and a compatible EcoFlow DELTA product. These two modes are not available when the charger is connected to a third-party portable power station.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEcoFlow 500 W Alternator Charger Compatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis \u003cstrong\u003eDC DC alternator charger\u003c\/strong\u003e works with several EcoFlow DELTA and RIVER portable power stations. It can also charge many third-party portable power stations when their input requirements are compatible and the XT60 connection is used.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe charger supports both 12 V and 24 V vehicle battery systems, making it suitable for many SUVs, pickup trucks, camper vans and RVs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen using a third-party power station, the correct vehicle battery voltage and portable power station type must be configured in the system settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCamper Van, RV and Overlanding Applications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor weekend camping trips, the drive to the campsite can already recover a substantial amount of energy before you arrive. This means more stored power is available for refrigeration, lighting and electronics without an additional charging stop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn multi-week road trips, alternator charging becomes particularly valuable. Every drive helps replenish the portable power station for refrigerators, laptops, lights and other onboard equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor extended off-grid travel, the alternator charger is an effective complement to solar. When weather conditions limit solar production, time spent driving becomes a second independent charging source.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCompact Installation for Vans and RVs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt only 35 mm thick and approximately 1.6 kg, the charger can fit into an electrical compartment, under certain seats or in another properly ventilated area of the vehicle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEcoFlow includes a 5 m input cable, a 1 m XT60 output cable, a fused cable and mounting hardware to simplify installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePractical Tips for the EcoFlow DC DC Alternator Charger\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor a permanent installation, have the wiring completed or inspected by a qualified installer, especially around the starter battery, fuse and cable routing through the vehicle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeep cables away from moving components, excessive engine heat and sharp metal edges. Make sure the positive circuit is properly protected with the supplied fuse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore first use, configure the vehicle battery voltage and portable power station type through the EcoFlow app. The app can also be used to monitor charger operation while travelling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinally, keep all connectors clean and protected from moisture. Properly secured wiring and protection from vibration help maintain reliable charging over long trips.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ECOFLOW","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54342788481318,"sku":"EFAlternatorCharger500W-N","price":349.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0904\/7683\/9206\/files\/500W_Alternator_Charge_2000x_542c5b45-af7c-42aa-bb25-b6b2a414bc0d.webp?v=1793975038","url":"https:\/\/exodexplore.ca\/en\/products\/dc-to-dc-alternator-charger-ecoflow-500w","provider":"Exode Explore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
