Introduction

Sterling has continued to innovate in the DC/DC charging market and the newest range, the Saturn series, is the culmination of their market knowledge that has been accumulated over the years.  Market leading power, efficiency and capabilities are the cornerstone of a product that Sterling expect to exceed your expectations.

Buck/Boost Technology

96-98% efficiency, offering you the best harvest from point A to point B and the coolest running.  Fan colling (on units 40A rated or above) and a metal chassis means you’ll be running at full power all day long.

Charge While Driving

When your engine is running the Saturn charger will be charging your leisure battery as your chosen battery charge profile, using your alternator as the power source.  The Saturn is even suitable for Euro-5, Euro-7 and Electric vehicles, in various configurations.  It is the best way of safely and intelligently charging a rear battery system when driving.

Bi-directional Charger

One of the most important features of the Saturn is actually what it does when you’re not driving.  When you have excess charge available on your leisure battery from Solar of Shore Line Charging (Reverse charge engages at >13.8V in lithium settings, >13..6V in other settings.  Multiply by 2 for 24V and 4 for 48V) the Saturn charger will automatically engage its reverse charge feature.  The reverse charge current varies per unit (see below) and the reverse charge voltage is 13.4V (26.8V at 24V).  This voltage is perfect to maintain your starter battery at a happy float voltage.

Simple Install

Positive input from your starter battery, positive output to your leisure batteries and a common negative throughout.  The only additionally required cable is going to be the ignition feed and that’s only if you have a smart alternator, or a slightly low input voltage.

Euro 6/7 and Smart Alternator Compatible

Smart alternators pose a challenge to many DC/DC chargers, but the units ability to be ignition controlled or even vibration controlled ensures that the Saturn runs whenever your key is turned.

Current Limiting + Lithium Suitable

The inherent current limiting nature of the Saturn units ensures that you have predictable equipment and performance vectors for when planning your system.  It ensures your batteries are charged within a current range that they want and, sol long as correctly rated, will ensure your alternator isn’t being overworked.

More Lithium Features

Reliable and controlled voltage output, live output modes (to wake a sleeping BMS), low temperature output shutdowns (0DegC) and 2 x lithium suitable charge presets.

6 Preset charge profiles +1 custom profit via remote

The Saturn series of charges have 6 integrated presets for you to choose from.  These are suitable for a broad range of batteries and Sterling have tried to make them as applicable as possible.  In the unlikely possibility that the presets are not suitable, you can use the BBR remote to set a custom profile.

Cross Voltage Thresholds

The Saturn opens up a whole range of possibilities – offering the possibilities of moving to 24V or even 48V leisure/domestic systems.
