When utilized as a DC-DC converter the IOTA converters the voltage of the main battery pack into 13.6 VDC to supply the 12 volt auxillary battery with a constant charge during vehicle operation.. The original 12 volt starter battery is typically retained to increase the ease of the overall conversion and to help maintain the balance of the large battery pack.
When utilized as a charger (RVs, forklifts, and golf carts) the IOTA DLS series takes the AC voltage from an outlet and converts it to DC to charge the 12 volt starter battery. For this application the IQ smart charger is recommended to properly condition the battey during charging, increasing it's overall lifespan.
IOTA chargers/converters produce extremely clean DC output and run at very low temperatures, ensuring product longevity. All IOTA components come with a manufactures 2 year warranty.
The IQ Smart Controller offers automatic charging control for all DLS Battery Chargers. It allows the DLS Charger to operate as an
automatic 3-stage “smart charger” that gives the customer the benefit
of Bulk, Absorption, and Float stage charging, providing longer and safer use of your system's battery. The IQ Smart Controller is compatible with any DLS Battery Charger model and is covered under IOTA's standard Two-Year Warranty.
