12V GURU | How Much Power Do You Actually Need?
How much power does your caravan really need? The 12V Guru explains how the appliances you use and the time you spend off-grid determine the right power solution for the way you travel.
Melbourne, Victoria: BMPRO today announced the release of its new ProBoost range of DC-DC chargers as part of its ongoing commitment to making adventure travel smarter and more comfortable.
āWhen developing ProBoost, BMPRO set out to launch a rugged robust and versatile DC-DC charging solution for a dual battery setup in your 4×4, SUV or Ute that also allowed flexible installation for any type of adventure.
Prior to its launch, BMPROās Australian-based R&D team conducted strenuous testing and evaluation of the product to ensure its suitability and performance in Australiaās harshest conditions.
The result is a product finely engineered and tested to ensure your battery is charged up and your 12V DC accessories are ready to go on arrival ā whether that be your camping fridge keeping your drinks cold or your 12V lighting ready for the first night at campā, said Brad Hooper, BMPRO Marketing Manager.
ProBoost allows travellers to use their devices while parked, without interference to the vehicleās main battery, ensuring it is ready to start when itās time to head off.
āFor off-road adventurers, ProBoost allows you to power your secondary battery to go further and do moreā, said Brad
Durability is front and centre with the ProBoost range, allowing caravanners to take their DC-DC to the extreme, no matter the adventure. It is suitable for engine bay installations as well as in the vehicle canopy or cabin, fully sealed, potted and rugged ā perfect for extreme conditions like heat, dust, mud or the vibration of corrugated roads.
ProBoost is compatible with all common battery chemistries including lithium LiFePO4 and lead acid. The high power density design of this innovation provides charging efficiencies of up to 95%. The battery chemistry can be changed at the touch of a button.
If running on Solar, ProBoost blends both the solar and auxiliary inputs of a vehicle together simultaneously, to ensure there is always a consistent charge to the secondary battery. It includes a full in-built MPPT solar regulator to maximise solar input.
ProBoost is suitable for both standard and smart vehicle alternators and a range of protective features are built into the charger such as overtemperature, overvoltage and undervoltage protection to guard the batteryās charging capacity. This new range compliments BMPROās existing MiniBoost range of 12V DC-DC chargers which are specifically designed to work with BMPROs Power Management Systems.
The introduction of ProBoost further expands BMPROās ability to meet any charging requirement to power adventures in the great unknown.

How much power does your caravan really need? The 12V Guru explains how the appliances you use and the time you spend off-grid determine the right power solution for the way you travel.

As more caravan owners upgrade to lithium batteries and spend longer off-grid, expanding an existing power system has never been easier. Discover how the BMPRO ecosystem lets you seamlessly integrate chargers, battery monitoring and power management into one connected system for smarter charging, better visibility and reliable off-grid performance.

Tested across three independent Australian facilities, ProBoost has been selected by Ford for the Ranger Super Duty and Mazda for the BT-50, reflecting its proven DC-DC and MPPT capabilities.
