RUN 240VOLT APPLIANCES FROM YOUR CARAVAN OR RV BATTERIES:

Thanks to the impressive ePRO Combi 3000 Inverter Charger, you can run 240 volt Caravan Air Conditioners, Heaters, Washing Machines, Coffee Machines, Hair Dryers, Fridges, Lights, Computers, TV's, Hot Water Systems, and even C-pap machines all from this battery system without the need for a generator or mains power. Yes, you can help charge the system faster by also charging with either a small generator, your cars alternator or from 240volt mains power, although the Enerdrive system is well designed to self-generate power through solar panels limiting the need for using these other methods - perfect for free camping applications where 240v mains or generator usage is not allowed or not available.  Run times for each appliance will vary from a couple of hours to 24/7 depending on the amp draw and the amount of incoming power supply. 

EASY BATTERY MONITORING - NO MORE FLAT BATTERIES:

The Enerdrive system self-monitors the incoming power vs the outgoing power and displays this information via a wall mounted battery monitor screen in an easy to understand format, even to the point of 'hours of power' remaining at current usage rate, or if you are more technically minded you can monitor the 'power in' vs 'power out' displayed as Watts and Amps if you prefer. This will allow you run multiple appliances at once and monitor the power usage vs power generated so that you will never be caught short with a flat battery. The Enerdrive system is programmed to cut off power supply from the battery at 24% capacity to prolong the life of your lithium battery and allow for a fast recharge. 

There are two different battery monitoring options with this bundle - the Enerdrive ePRO Plus Battery Monitor or the Enerdrive Simarine PICO 3 Battery Monitor.

The ePRO Plus is the basic monitoring option, which displays the battery % capacity and current flow.

The Simarine display is a high tech LCD screen, which displays the battery % capacity and loads. It also has the ability to monitor extra features including monitoring tank levels (e.g. water tank, waste tank etc) and temperatures.

FAST SIMULTANEOUS CHARGING:

This complete lithium system has the capability to simultaneously charge the battery through multiple charging sources. It is possible to achieve a full system recharge in approximately 1.5 hrs when combining all charging sources (AC, DC and Solar) simultaneously thanks to the rapid charging capabilities of lithium. Lithium batteries accept a higher charging voltage input compared to AGM and can uphold that higher rate of charge without tapering off until 100% full battery capacity is achieved.    

Charge rates: 

• Up to 120 amps per hour are put back into your batteries through the AC Charger when supplied by a 240 volt generator or mains power.   
• Up to 35 amps per hour are put back into your batteries through the Solar Regulator supplied by the Solar Panels (4x 180W Fixed Solar Panels)
• Up to 40 amps per hour are put back into the batteries through the Enerdrive DC2DC charger powered by your cars alternator. 

Whilst travelling to your destination, you can charge through both the solar panels and your cars alternator at the same time delivering a total of up to 75 amps power per hour back into your batteries. (Most other lithium systems do not have this capability).

EXTERNAL BATTERY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (BMS):

Enerdrives own patented Advanced External Battery Management System (BMS) and Active Balance controller combined with their White Lithium Power Pack Series Batteries, is the key to protecting and maximising the performance and longevity of their lithium battery systems - even when 2 or more batteries are connected in parallel. Every lithium battery needs to have a BMS incorporated to balance the voltage of the cells during charging, discharging and storing for safe and efficient operation. It is the unique design of the Advanced External BMS that Enerdrive provide (which includes a connected Dynamic Active Balance Controller) which results in superior performance over any other lithium setup on the market.  

Most lithium batteries incorporate an internal BMS that is classed as a passive type balancing system, whilst it still achieves its goal of balancing the cells for safe operation, it is not the most efficient way of balancing cells and not the best way to prolong your batteries life expectancy - especially when multiple lithium batteries are combined to make up the system.  Enerdrive have designed a class leading External BMS with an Active Balance Controller that does not use a passive balancing method, instead they use the Dynamic Energy Transfer method that is only available to be used with the white series power pack lithium batteries from Enerdrive. This is a far superior means of balancing cells that will make your battery (or multiple batteries) far more efficient in retaining charge, producing less heat and prolonging the life of your batteries long term.  

Enerdrive Pro Series Lithium Batteries:

Lithium Ion batteries have a high energy density and are perfect for cyclic applications. They offer savings of up to 70% in volume and weight compared to traditional lead-acid batteries. Lithium Ion batteries offer ultra-fast charging and discharging, high efficiency and three times as many charging cycles (>1500 full cycles) compared to traditional lead acid batteries.

Enerdrive’s Pro Series Lithium-iron-phosphate (LiFePO4) is the safest of the mainstream li-ion battery types. The nominal voltage of each cell is 3,2V. A 12,8V Enerdrive battery therefore consists of 4 cells connected in series.

All lithium Ion batteries require a battery management system (BMS). There is no way around this. There are numerous examples of catastrophic failures where no BMS has been used.

The Enerdrive Pro Series Lithium battery packs incorporate Active Cell Balancing across the range. The balancing method used is Dynamic Energy Transfer. This allows for automatic balancing of the cells during charging, discharging and storage. Any cells with high voltage density will transfer energy to the lower cells in the pack. This method of cell balancing utilises the energy within the battery pack to balance the cells unlike passive balancing systems which bleed this excess energy off as heat to keep the battery balanced at the top end of the charging cycle, wasting energy already stored within the battery.

The Enerdrive Active Balancing System also incorporates individual cell “Hi -Voltage & Low-Voltage” disconnect feature to interface with the Enerdrive Advanced BMS Driver, switching (off/on) of charging sources & consumer loads. Running Active Cell Balancing allows Enerdrive to parallel and series connect multiple batteries within the system. This offers 12v, 24v, 36v &,48v systems with up to the possibility of 1500Ah+ capacity.

The installation kit incorporates the Enerdrive Advanced BMS Rely Driver, ePRO or Simarine monitor, Main DC Fuse and a load disconnect latching relay. This kit is connected to the battery and designed to work hand in hand with the batteries Active Balancing System for controlling charging and discharging sources for ultimate protection of your investment.

Many companies will just sell you the battery and if lucky, you will get a BMS incorporated. They neglect to tell you that disconnecting loads and charging sources at the critical times requires more equipment to be installed to manage these operations.

The Enerdrive ePRO Combi inverter charger is designed to run high amp drawing appliances like your Caravan Air Conditioner from your battery system.  The high output inverter can supply 2600w - 3200w of power which is ample to run most caravan appliances - even at the same time.  The inbuilt charger will deliver up to 120amps per hour back into your batteries at the same time. It will act as an uninterruptible AC power supply (UPS) switching between 240v mains, generator or 12v battery supplied power without causing damage to delicate electronics like TV's and laptop computers. The benefit of having this unit as a combination is the convenience of easy installation and the space you will save when mounting into tight spaces like Caravans, Boats and RV's.  

Features: 

AC Input Power Boost – The ePRO Combi is capable of temporarily assisting weak AC input sources when more power is needed than available (i.e. from small generators). This is beneficial when larger loads than both the generator or the inverter on their own could support; so let the ePRO Combi combine both of the AC sources for maximum load support capability.

AC Input Current Limit – For those times when you have limited AC supply (i.e. portable generators), you can set the ePRO Combi to only charge at a maximum rate.

Alarm Output Relays – Providing full configuration options for the alarm contacts PLUS convert external trigger commands into a number of ePRO Combi status changes.

Also available on the larger 2000-3500w Combi’s are two fully configurable 16A 230v alarm relay outputs for controlling large AC loads like air conditioning. Along with two unique trigger inputs, it gives the end user virtually unparalleled control of their Enerdrive ePRO “Power Station”. 

Universal Remote Control

The Universal Remote Control (URC) can be used to remotely readout all available parameters from your ePRO inverter/charger Combi, like charging current, output voltage, charge stage etc. It is also possible to put the Combi in standby mode or to wake it up again, besides being able to control the maximum charge current and the maximum AC input current. All information is shown on a clear white backlit graphical display. This kit comes with mounting screws and a 3 meter interface cable (standard cat5 patch cable). The URC automatically recognises to which type of equipment it is connected.
