National Luna Battery Management Systems

The serious overlander prepares for the elements he will experience on his journey. His vehicle is his lifeline, and if that lifeline should falter, consequences can by dire.

Losing power to your vehicle is a common concern. With all the latest equipment drawing on your battery system, you need to consider your electrical supply and how to manage it. Winches, lighting, laptops, GPS, fridges, and the like all demand a lot from your battery. A good solution is a dual battery system that can manage the load you put on it.

National Luna Battery Management Systems are time tested, proven vehicle energy control equipment. From the harsh demands of Africa, National Luna offers a complete line of monitoring and control options. From individual items for the "Do it yourself" traveller to complete turnkey dual battery split charging kits, you will find your needs fulfilled here.

National Luna offers a reliable solution to multi-battery systems in vehicles. Their split-charge system works by allowing both the starting battery and auxilliary batteries to charge together when the vehicle is running, then isolate them when the vehicle stops. This approch ensures that any appliances connected to the auxilliary batteries do not affect the main vehicle battery.

Split-Charge systems are widely used in the 4x4 and boating industries where a main starting battery needs to be isolated from auxilliary batteries when appliances or extra loads run the risk of flattening the starting battery, leaving you stranded.

Split-charge systems must be able to sense when to connect the batteries and when to isolate them. The National Luna split-charge system does this by means of a combination of accurate voltage sensing and timing sequences. Additionally, errors such as open or short-circuits need to be detected and dealt with accordingly.

The National Luna split-charge system allows the user to control the connection of the batteries by overriding the built-in timer. Safety has been kept in mind: The system will not connect if either of the two batteries are disconnected, short-circuited or too flat to charge safely. The system also allows the user to "jump-start" either battery from the other. Particularly useful if your starting battery is flat.

The new battery monitor range has been designed to cover a variety of applications where it is important to monitor the state of a battery. Using digital technology, the new battery monitors constantly measure the voltage of your battery and warn you when the battery is getting flat or when the battery is being overcharged. Visual and audible alarms are standard on most models. Features such as alarm silence and sleep mode are also available.

All battery monitors in the range are simple to install and at the same time reliable and very accurate.

When it comes to monitoring your battery accurately, National Luna has really done their homework. The new range of Battery Monitors are based on years of experience in the solar and automotive industries...plus a few new tricks too.
