Its about time. I've been waiting for a 40A DCDC charger from your guys for a while now. Awesome.👍
Thanks Hammer,we are so excited with it appreciate your wonderful feedback again mate
Good to see commonly requested features being installed!
The voltages look ok for todays lithium. Some people will suggest 14.5v is a bit high (it’s ok though).
Some questions to clarify operation…
1) Does the Solar Priority mode automatically stop after a period of time or because of some event (such as no solar available, vehicle starting or stopping, anything else)?
2) Does Solar Priority mode operate in conjunction with Alternator input, or does only one input operate at a time? (the manual doesn’t make this clear). e.g If solar can charge at 5A, does it then take 35A from the alternator, or does it neglect the alternator completely? And vice versa? I expect they operate exclusively, meaning only one at a time.
3) Is it IP rated to any standard? No mention of if it’s ok for engine bay mounting, Ute tub (possible rain getting to it) or other places like that.
32v solar is ok, but if you can revise the design to accept 40v this will make it much more attractive to people using bigger "house" style PV that can operate at 36v or a little more.
And the mention of the load on the engine is misinformed. These will drain about 600w maximum, and engines will produce between 50,000 - 200,000w. So the load on the engine is negligible and one could realistically say it cost them extra fuel. Other driving factors play a much bigger part in engine load and fuel consumption. Good marketing, but incorrect 😉
I wish I had a need for this because it'd be good to purchase for a full test, but without that need it's not quite in scope.
Thanks Paul
@@KickAssProducts do you have some answers for us? ;)
@@KickAssProducts I have the same questions as PowerPaulAu, could you please provide some answers?
Does it need an adpter to charge lithium battery, or is it the same redarc smart ? And how many times does it need to battery 100?
G'day mate,it is designed to charge lithium straight out of the box
thanks for watching
Cheers Craig
If I buy one do I get the R2D2 and the Tardis behind you as well?
captain ill swap you the enterprise for the tardis
Will you eventually offer one that is already pre-wired to your Control Hub?
G'day mate ill throw the challenge out to our design & engendering team & see what they come up with
With regards to the ultra slim battery. They dont have any battery terminals so what does the temperature sensor from the dcdc charger connect too? Is it required?
G'day mate,not really neccasary to be honest & wont effet the operation of the charger alot of people don't connect them up either
thanks for watching
Cheers Craig
Do you have any problems with RF interference with your car radio with Kickass dcdc chargers like some cheaper charger's?
G'day speedy,no RF at all mate Thanks for watching
Cheers craig
Time for a haircut. You Ripper.
Thanks Rich,nahh helps hide the ugliness lol
thanks for watching the video
cheers from Craig
@@KickAssProducts Ha ha I’m only jealous ( bald as a coot)
Hey Craig how do you reccomend installing the 40A DC-DC on top of the Kickass Jaxbox x1 Powerstation?
G'day Doug,there is a few ways you could do it,the easy way would be to make up some anderson connecter tails with ring terminals & connect the charger to the connecters & would all be plug in then
you could then mount the dcdc with screws & nyloc nuts
Thanks for watching
Cheers

I just purchased one of these chargers and I cant get it to change modes, its stuck on gel. Have you guys updated your support portal to include this 40 amp charger.
G'day mate,of you press & hold the mode button for 3 seconds & move to the next setting & repeat untill you get to your battery type

When will this be available on the USA site? :)
G'day mate,hopefully sooner than later we are trying to get as much gear to our mates in the states
Cheers Craig
@@KickAssProductsWhen I saw your stylish hair, I thought “oh no, they’re Australian, aren’t they?”
I’m stuck in the US, sadly.
I’m wondering, if I have, say, a 12v to 24v DC/DC converter, can I safely stick that into the input of an MPPT solar controller? What about a PWM one?
My amateur EE feelings tell me that MPPT is safe and PWM isn’t. I only need 10A or so since my Honda Element doesn’t have a whole lot of spare alternator capacity.
(My next crazy idea for a bigger vehicle is to use a second alternator and replace the regulator with a ~20v (estimated) input so that the second alternator produces >60v, and feed that into a 48v MPPT charge controller…)
Hi, where I can buy it?
G'day mate here is a link to the web page
thanks for watching
Cheers Craig
😂😂😂👏👏👏👍👍❤️🇦🇺
Thanks Graham
Solar priority is what they have been lacking . I would like to see the guts of it though without having to buy one and pull it apart.
G'day Mate,thanks for watching the video,we are stoked with our new charger,it is IP66 so is fully enclosed in epoxy so not much to see,it's buit as tough as a brick
cheers Craig
