The Balmar Digital Duo Charge (DDC-12/24) is a solid-state battery combiner designed for managing charge distribution between two battery banks in 12V or 24V systems. This device provides an automated solution for charging a starting battery from a house battery's charge source, eliminating the need for manual switches, relays, or traditional isolators. It is suitable for IT environments or mobile applications where reliable power management across multiple battery types is critical. The DDC-12/24 monitors the house battery voltage and automatically engages when it exceeds a preset minimum (e.g., 13.2V for 12V systems), supplying up to 30A of charge current to the starting battery. When no charge source is active, it separates the batteries to prevent accidental discharge of the starting battery. This unit supports four battery programs for the starting battery: Standard Flooded, Deep Cycle Flooded, AGM, and Gel Cell, and can be used with or without Balmar regulators.
Digital Duo Charge - 12/24V
The Digital Duo Charge (DDC-12/24) provides a “hands off” solution for charging two battery banks without the use of problematic isolators or manual battery switches. During charging the DDC-12/24 monitors voltage at the house battery. When voltage exceeds the set minimum (typically 13.2V in a 12V system and 26.4V in a 24V system) the DDC-12/24 automatically engages, providing up to 30A charge current to the starting battery. When no charge source is present, the DDC-12/24 separates the batteries so the starting battery won’t be accidentally discharged into the house battery. An optional solenoid control enables higher start battery charging output when required.
Features:
The Digital Duo Charge supports four battery programs for the starting battery: Standard Flooded, Deep Cycle Flooded, AGM, and Gel Cell.
The DDC-12/24 can provide up to 30A of charge current to the starting battery once engaged.
No, the Digital Duo Charge can be employed without a Balmar regulator, though it can also be used in concert with Max Charge or ARS-5 Regulators.
When no charge source is present, the DDC-12/24 automatically separates the batteries, preventing the starting battery from being accidentally discharged into the house battery.
