What’s the best way to charge your camper van’s batteries? 🚐 Over the last few years new devices (12v AC’s, Induction Cooktops, Water Heaters, Etc) have created a need for larger battery banks and with larger battery banks comes a need for more powerful and efficient charging systems. The three most popular ways to charge your batteries are shore power, solar and charging from your vehicle’s alternator. 1. Shore power isn’t ideal for vanlifers because we like to camp off-grid away from busy campgrounds. 2. Solar isn’t ideal, because the technology isn’t very efficient and even in optimal conditions with a roof full of panels it probably isn’t going to generate enough power to charge a large battery bank. 3. The third option, DC to DC charging from your alternator is great because you are harnessing the power created by your vehicle’s engine as you drive. After all, you are basically running a generator every time you drive, so you might as well take advantage, right? The most powerful DC to DC charger configurations currently on the market typically top off at 60amps which means for every hour you drive you are generating 60 amp hours of stored power in your batteries. The problem comes in when you have a large battery bank. Let’s use a 600 amp hour battery bank as an example. If your battery is almost empty it would take you 9-10 hours of driving to fully recharging your battery bank. Most people aren’t usually driving 9-10 hours at a time. So what is the solution? A secondary alternator is the solution. With a secondary (more powerful) alternator, you have an alternator that is dedicated to charging your house batteries at 200amps even when idling. This means that it would only take three hours to charge your battery bank from zero to 600amps in about three hours.
