Self Energy EG-20 12V Generator

Self Energy EG-20 12V Generator
Completely automatic generator.

The Self-Energy EG-20 is an automatic battery charger that enables your Leisure battery to remain 'topped up' no matter where you are!
It uses a small, very neat 2 stroke gas engine/generator set powered by the on-board
motor-home LPG supply ensuring that your battery never falls below operational level (11.9 Volts). What does this mean for the user? No more TV cutting out in the middle of your favourite film. No need to worry about flattening the battery by using too many appliances.

Supplies up to 20 Amps current at 12v.
Ideal for ‘wild camping’ or when no hook-up available.
Can operate on steep inclines up to 17%.

Uses in a Motorhome

Enables user to power many products simultaneously eg. lamps, television and turbo-vent.
Self regulating, just switch the EG-20 on and it works only when needed!
The possibility to use high wattage appliances such as Microwaves and Hair Driers (With use of Invertor).

Simple to use
The EG-20 has a simple to operate remote wall switch. If the gas tap is 'open', the vehicle engine is switched off and the remote switch on, then you do not have to do anything else.

The Control Module (normally tucked away in a wardrobe or cupboard) has an intelligent circuit board which senses the voltage retained by the leisure battery. The Control Module ensures that the EG- 20 is activated only when the battery needs topping up. When it does 'kick in' it tops the 12V battery up to almost 14.5V (standard battery chargers only charge to 13.8V which does not give the battery a full charge).

The gas supply can either be taken from the existing bottle or an underslung refillable LPG tank can be fitted. The latter option would free up another external locker, provide larger storage capacity and give you the option of refilling before the tank is completely empty.

The EG-20 comes standard delivered with the following items.
