Where to Use
Ideal for motorhomes, campervans, RVs, pickups, car camping, overlanding, vehicle conversions, off-grid travel and emergency backup. The Alternator Charger Plus 1000 helps keep portable power stations charged for lighting, cooking, tools, appliances and outdoor equipment, reducing reliance on campsite hook-ups, home AC charging and slow 12V cigarette lighter charging.
Fast and Flexible Charging
Charge while you drive
Delivering up to 1000W, the Alternator Charger Plus 1000 charges considerably faster than a standard car cigarette lighter socket. It recharges your portable power station while the engine is running, helping you arrive with stored power ready to use.
Alternator and solar dual charging
On cloudy or low-sunlight days, the charger can draw up to 1000W from the alternator alone. On sunny days, supported installations can combine up to 700W from the alternator with up to 300W from solar, providing a maximum combined input of 1000W.
Three Charging Modes
Three operating modes provide control over charging the portable power station and maintaining the vehicle starter battery.
| Mode | Use | Output |
| Charging Mode | Charges the portable power station while driving using surplus alternator power. | Up to 1000W |
| Reverse Charging Mode | Supplies power from the power station to the vehicle battery, helping prevent battery drain when multiple 12V loads are connected. | Up to 1000W |
| Battery Maintenance Mode | Maintains the starter battery when its voltage is low, helping extend battery lifespan. | Up to 100W |
Smart Control
Use the EcoFlow app to monitor charging status, starter battery voltage, power station state of charge and remaining charging time. Support for compatible Apple CarPlay and Android Auto infotainment interfaces makes it easier to view and adjust charging while on the road.
