How does the Converty DC work?
The Converty DC is the ideal solution to ensure a reliable and complete recharge of an auxiliary battery from a main battery. But how is this energy conversion managed?
Watch this video for more information.
What are the advantages of the Converty DC?
The Converty DC combines several functions that enable it to ensure the performance, safety and reliability of the recharge of an auxiliary battery. This converter-charger developed by Selfenergy is fully configurable, communicating and guarantees high efficiency while being compact and silent.

What does the configuration of the Converty DC consist of?
One of the special features of the Converty DC is its ability to adapt to all battery technologies (lithium, lead, gel, etc.) and to each use thanks to its customisable settings. Indeed, the standard settings made by Selfenergy engineers can be modified by the distributor or the end user of the Converty DC to meet specific usage needs.

What are the differences between the Converty DC and other solutions on the market?
The choice of the right converter-charger is a strategic step for manufacturers and distributors who wish to guarantee a reliable and efficient solution to their customers. Indeed, a high-performance battery will not be effective without a suitable charger. At Selfenergy, we offer a converter that stands out from other solutions on the market, particularly on 3 points:
- Its low energy consumption
- Its on-board intelligence
- Its ability to adapt to its environment

What types of batteries does the Converty DC work with?
The Converty DC is a versatile converter-charger designed to accommodate all battery technologies/electrochemicals (Lithium-ion, GEL, AGM, Lead etc) and various voltages.

How does the Converty DC react to high temperatures?
One of the key features of the Converty DC is its ability to adapt to high temperatures. In case of high outside temperatures, the derating management system embedded in each Converty DC stabilises the internal temperature of the converter-charger by adapting its output power in real time.

What is the purpose of the Converty DC?
The role of the Converty DC is to recharge an auxiliary battery from a third battery. This energy transfer is particularly popular for supplying auxiliary electrical equipment found in vehicles in the leisure sector (camper vans) or boating (boats) where the battery is generally independent.

Why is the Converty DC called 'intelligent'?
The Converty DC is intelligent because it is able to take complex measurements (temperatures, voltages, currents) of the needs of the battery it is charging in order to adapt its operation in real time. The advanced software on board allows it to ensure fast, reliable and safe charging of all types of auxiliary batteries.

What is the monitoring software??
Selfenergy has its own monitoring software for the Converty DC.
The monitoring software is a PC software developed by Selfenergy and allows distributors, installers or end-users of the Converty DC to access in real time all the data of the converter. Based on this information, it is possible to optimise the operation of the Converty DC through parameter changes integrated in the software.

What is the efficiency of the DC converter?
Efficiency is a measure of the performance of a charger, i.e. its ability to convert energy with a minimum of loss. Selfenergy's Converty DC guarantees an efficiency of up to 97% without active cooling (fan) thanks to the use of innovative and modern components combined with the electronic expertise of our design office.

What happens if the Converty DC is left inactive for a long period of time?
The DC Converty can remain connected to the battery when the battery is inactive. This has little impact on the long-term discharge of the battery.

Why is the DC converter said to be parallelizable?
Parallelization is an architecture used to add the power of several DC Converters linked together in order to recharge a battery faster.

What is the link between the BMS and the DC converter?
The BMS (Battery Management System) is an essential element for the operation of a battery, especially when it is a lithium battery.
To guarantee efficient and safe recharging, Selfenergy has developed an on-board communication system in its Converty DCs, enabling them to connect with the battery's BMS. This communication allows the Converty DC to adapt the charging process to the real needs of the battery.
