The SMARTPASS 120S uses an integrated Battery Guard system to help prevent the service battery from being completely discharged.
When auxiliary-battery voltage becomes low, the system can disconnect non-critical electrical loads while maintaining power to priority equipment. This is particularly useful for vehicles carrying important electrical equipment such as radios, emergency lighting, navigation systems, refrigeration, and other auxiliary loads.
The SMARTPASS 120S allows available alternator power to be intelligently distributed between the auxiliary battery and connected electrical consumers.
It provides up to 120A of continuous power, with dynamic over-current protection capable of handling temporary loads up to 350A for 10 seconds.
The SMARTPASS 120S is designed to work with the CTEK D250SE 20A DC-DC charger.
When combined, the system can provide up to 140A of power management, making it an excellent solution for larger auxiliary electrical systems in motorhomes, vans, 4x4s, and overlanding vehicles.
The SMARTPASS 120S supports a wide range of 12V battery technologies, including:
It supports both lead-acid and lithium-ion battery chemistries with service batteries ranging from 28–800Ah.
Built-in battery temperature protection reduces charging current when battery temperature becomes excessive. This helps protect the service battery and charging system during demanding operating conditions.
