Typical professional automotive issues

How to solve them.

Our team of professionals always stay in close contact with our customers. Over the past 45 years we've got to know automotive power inside out. This close working relationship has helped to create some of the best automotive power solutions available today.

01

Always on.
Always ready.

When seconds can save a life, the importance of a reliable mobile power system cannot be underestimated. Our robust systems have been proven to deliver unequalled reliability time and time again. This is marked by our worldwide market leadership in power supply equipment for Ambulances. Our entire modular range is all built with the same quality, so if your system is an ambulance or an ice-cream truck, with Victron Energy it’s always ready for action.

02

Power peaks
Powered right.

Professional power tools can demand surges of peak power temporarily, especially when they start-up. Victron Energy Professional duty inverters all come with a very high peak power performance, on average twice their continuous power specifications. The Pure Sine Wave technology safely powers sensitive electronics such as computers. This means you can power any load, anytime, anywhere, problem free.

03

Smart alternators.
Smarter charging.

Euro 5/6 engines are the new standard in the business fleet and come with smart (variable voltage) alternators, controlling the output based on vehicle operating conditions. This renders it unsuccessful at charging a secondary battery system to a usable level. Our wide range of DC-DC chargers and Smart BMS products ensure both lead-acid and lithium service batteries can be properly charged, without damaging the smart alternator or batteries. In fact, with Victron Energy you can safely combine any alternator with any service battery.

04

Batteries.
Long Live Batteries.

Thanks to 45 years of battery development expertise, our products offer great protection, maximum care. They use the best adaptive charging algorithms for batteries of any kind, with a great service life as a result. Victron Energy offers professional quality batteries with high performance characteristics that are thoroughly tested. Our datasheets offer a complete picture of the performance and expected cycle design life, meaning no investment surprises along the way.

05

Suboptimal sun,
optimal solar panel yield.

Solar panels on vehicles come with specific challenges: space is often limited and shadows change quickly on the road. Therefore the solar performance changes constantly. Victron Energy solar controllers use ultra fast maximum power point tracking to squeeze every drop of power out of your panels. Solar keeps your batteries ready for action and reduces the need for electrical power generated by your engine.

06

More energy,
smaller generator.

Fuel can be a big part of your budget. Victron Energy products optimize generator use and minimize its running time. Often, you can even opt for a smaller generator. This means you save on installation, maintenance and fuel costs.
