This system is fully portable and can be used across multiple vehicles or job sites.
🚗 How DriveCharge Works
While you drive, the alternator charger feeds power from your vehicle into the DELTA 2 Max.
Typical real-world charging gain:
Approximately 700–800 Wh per hour of driving, depending on vehicle and conditions.
That means a one-hour commute can give you enough energy to:
- Run cordless tool chargers all day
- Power a fridge and site lighting
- Operate laptops, routers, and test gear
🛠️ Ideal For
- Builders, electricians, plumbers, and contractors
- Rural and off-grid work sites
- Mobile workshops and service vehicles
- Anyone needing reliable power without a generator
