iTECHDCDC60

DCDC and MPPT Battery Charger

12V/24V 60A

By providing up to 60A of charging current and featuring an MPPT solar regulator, the iTECHDCDC60 charges auxiliary batteries faster and more efficiently, perfect for larger setups that need rapid and reliable recharging.

You need to choose one system. The iTECHDCDC60 can accept input from either a 12V or 24V alternator, but not both simultaneously. It will automatically detect and adjust to whichever voltage system it’s connected to, but it must be wired to only one type of alternator during use.

It has a specialised charging algorithm for LiFePO4, wakes iTechworld batteries from “safe mode” automatically if they shut down, and delivers optimal voltage, extending both charge speed and battery life.

MPPT technology automatically finds the ideal voltage for your panels, squeezing more power out of them, keeping charging fast and consistent even as sunlight varies.

While it can handle unregulated panel voltages of up to 48V, you shouldn’t exceed this limit; it’s the maximum for this charger.

It’s built to withstand temperatures from –20°C to 80°C and is resistant to dust and vibration. Just make sure you mount it where air can flow to help it stay cool.

It’s engineered to operate down to a 9V input, so it’ll still charge even if cable losses drop the alternator voltage, though using thicker cables and shorter runs always helps.

1. It includes protection against overcurrent, overvoltage, overheating, reverse polarity, and low-voltage shutdown, keeping both the charger and batteries safe under stress.

An internal isolator relay separates the starter battery. It stops charging the auxiliary once the starter battery voltage drops too low, ensuring you always have enough power to crank the engine.

Use the included brackets on a flat, upright surface with good airflow. Fuse each input/output as recommended (80A), keep the wiring tidy, and follow the manual’s wiring diagrams for a safe and neat fit.

Fault LEDs flash to indicate issues such as low alternator voltage, solar faults, or overtemperature. Simply check your wiring, ensure the correct panel voltages, and let the unit cool down if it’s hot. Full fault descriptions are provided in the manual.

You can charge any 12V LiFePO4 battery, but pairing with iTechworld lithium gives an extra benefit: the charger will automatically wake batteries that have entered “safe mode”.

There’s no fixed battery size limit; just remember that larger batteries simply take longer to charge.

Using the wrong profile could under- or overcharge your battery, reducing its lifespan. Always select the correct battery type (Lead‑Acid, Gel, AGM, Calcium, or LiFePO4) via the mode button during setup.

If the alternator/solar LED flashes in short bursts, the charger is in bulk/absorption. If the alternator/solar LED flashes in long bursts, the charger is in float.

Keep solar and alternator inputs separate, use the correct polarity, and add the recommended fuses (80A) close to the battery. Install the charger’s temperature sensor for optimal performance.

All iTechworld lithium batteries feature low-voltage protection and will automatically enter "safe mode" to protect themselves when their voltage drops below 10V. There are various methods to bring an iTechworld lithium battery out of safe mode, but the iTECHDCDC60 will do it automatically. If it enters safe mode, turn off any load on the battery; the iTECHDCDC60 will take care of the rest.

Yes. It offers full 60A charging while driving and can switch to solar when parked, thanks to the built-in MPPT solar charge controller.

Use 6AWG (16 mm²) cable for all 12V input and output connections up to 3m in length. For cable runs between 3m and 9m, step up to 4AWG (25 mm²). Use 20AWG (0.5 mm²) for the ignition trigger wire. Always install the specified 80A fuses close to the battery.

The charger monitors the alternator’s output and only begins charging when the smart alternator voltage rises above 12V (for 12V systems) or 24V (for 24V systems). If the voltage dips below 11.8V or 23.6V, respectively, the charging will pause to protect both batteries, and then automatically resume once the alternator voltage returns to the proper range.
