Hi I am installing an IDC25L into my van for maintaining a new house bank of LiPo4 batteries. It has solar panels and I use a Projecta PC1600 when I am plugged in. How should I wire in the PC1600 so that it tops off the start battery (lead acid) and charges the house bank?
the manual reads if you have a 12v fridge connected to run power supply mode , but I'm not sure if the constant 13.8 fully charges the lithium battery or not ?
hi mate ive had a idc 25l for a while recently started using an enerdrive mono crystalline portable, green leds show as floated guage showing at 12.9v un plug wait then re plug charge process restarts then shows float,not floated just not charging,neither over hot or cold ideas ?
You say on this video you can use this to also charge an AGM battery. The manual clearly states “ For charging Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries only” on the second page under WARNINGS. So which is it?
My IDC25L only puts in 1.5 amps and solar is even less! Before you say anything about being properly wired up, the answer is yes. It was working fine but now nothing, should have bought the Redarc to begin with?
Hi! In the video it says this can charge an AGM. I compared idc25 and idc25l spec sheets, and found out that both of them are almost identical in AGM mode of idc25. Does this mean an idc25 can be used to charge a lithium battery given the battery doesn't go below 10v?
are the Idc25L and the Idc25 the same footprint? as in the same shell?? i have the idc25 in a custom box and having a direct replacement would be ideal
Benny, my IDC25L keeps turning off after 20 seconds or so when on vehicle charge, works fine with solar. Has been installed for a year with no issues has only just started. I’ve had the car completely rewired and it still does the same thing ?
hi Ricky, please measure the voltage on the Red wire for 3 minutes this voltage should be steady, i suspect that it is dropping below 12.8 and this will happen over only 3 seconds so need to watch it like a eagle, if so please call our tech team on 1800 422 422, Cheers
@@ProjectaAustralia hey mate, I have this same problem. Voltage drops under 12.8 for a second or two so stops charging. Kicks back in after about a minute. It's a constant round about and basically only charging 50% of the time the engine is running. Any suggestions on how to fix, Or is this normal ?
Will your IDC25L Charger revive my 2 dead lithium Iron 2.4 kw batteries for the solar system? I bought this batteries from my frend but did not know that is is totaly discharge.
It really comes down to HOW dead it is, you may be able to revive it slowly with the power supply and charge modes, however you would be best speaking to Lithium Battery experts as they will have much better chargers for doing that job, once they are revived however this little beauty will definitely keep the unit alive

Hi Benny I have a 200 Amp lithium battery with 350 Amp Solar. What do I need to add extra solar and 200 A battery extra solar in a MDC forte 19
What should a IDC25L be set to for normal operations, LITHIUM or POWER SUPPLY.

Hi Projecta,
So can I still run the redark SBI to save the start battery still 🤔 ???

Hi Benny, yes in a pinch to get voltage into a AGM battery this charger can be used however is not suited to long term charging of AGM batteries.

Hi d Harry I had the same crap was only get 1.5amps change the temp sensor now get 25.7amp it's put it in to limp mode try that a see if fix 👍
Hi Mate,
What did you find with your charger? Mine won't go over output around 2.5amps? On both solar and alternator...
Hi!

hi Pududu the IDC25l has the Soft starts and Power supply mode required for Lithium batteries as above in the video it can be used in a pinch.
are the Idc25L and the Idc25 the same footprint? as in the same shell?? i have the idc25 in a custom box and having a direct replacement would be ideal
Hi Andrew, Yes mate they are the same footprint, Cheers DA

@@bennyblood9372 Thanks for your reply.
I have one it won't charge ...
hi Bradley, Give me a call on 100 422 422 and ask for Daniel I can help you diagnose the unit, Cheers DA
