AL-KO Vehicle Technology Electronics introduces the BC122, a battery charger that aims to set a new benchmark for charging batteries in motorhomes, vans and caravans by operating in complete silence. The BC122 will be available from July 2024.
Motorhome enthusiasts want freedom and contact with nature, whether they are enjoying a relaxing stopover in the wilderness or staying in a parking area or campsite. There is nothing more relaxing than falling asleep surrounded by the sounds of nature, such as the surf of the sea or the mountain breeze blowing in the trees. However, this experience is sometimes marred by “technology” noises from within the vehicle, and the battery charger cooling system is often a culprit.
The BC122 from AL-KO VTE eliminates the problem of noise at the root. Its innovative design and state-of-the-art components allow for 230V mains charging at 22A with no need for forced ventilation, thus completely eliminating all operating noise. A modern motorhome deserves the latest charging technology, while even traditional vehicles benefit from this safe, compact and high-performance device.
- Passive dissipation: no fans means that the BC122 is completely silent
- Lightweight and compact design: just 0.8 kg and a small footprint of 145 x 180 x 65 mm "all-in" make the device perfect for any type of vehicle, including minivans
- Versatility: the device manages four different charging curves
- Lithium 100% compatible: BC122 is designed to perform best with lithium-ion batteries, remaining 100% compatible with lead-acid, gel and AGM batteries
- Simplified installation: the BC122 case has a flap for protecting connections, without requiring additional enclosures or junction boxes
- Compatibility: BC122 can replace almost any existing charger using the wiring of the original system
- Easily integrated: the new BC122 charger can digitally connect to existing AL-KO VTE systems via the CL-BUS protocol and is prepared for CI-BUS communication to connect to third-party systems
