Protect your RV, boat, off-grid cabin, or tiny house batteries from poorly adjusted generators, and unreliable public power outages/brown-outs. Iota's DLS series converter-chargers provide high quality DC power wherever a source of 110 volt AC power is available. Whether you are using a generator or want a reliable power conditioner. DLS Power Converters protect your batteries and DC appliances from power spikes and fluctuations. The internal IQ4 Smart Controller provides intelligent automatic charging control for your DLS Battery Charger, keeping batteries fully charged and operating for long life. The IQ4 Charge Controller allows the DLS Series battery charger to operate as an automatic "smart charger", delivering the charge your battery needs at the time it needs it. The IQ4 uses four different charging modes to keep your battery in peak condition.
- State-of-the-Art switch mode technology. Engineered with the user and variable environmental conditions in mind.
- Exceptionally clean DC output. Insures pumps, motors, fans, lights, etc. work correctly. Meaning longer life for connected loads; virtually no AC ripple to cause static or premature failure of radio or television equipment.
- Quickly and efficiently charges batteries. When used as a battery charger (make sure ordering correct voltage setting model).
- Protection against low and transient AC line voltage; as well as spikes.
- Meets F.C.C. criteria, minimizing radio and television equipment interference. Especially on the lower frequency bands.
- Can be used with or without a battery. When used as a convert/power supply. When not in use it is essentially off, reducing electricity usage.
- Lower Operating temperature. Half that of some switch mode electronic models. Meaning substantially longer life and safer operation.
- Tight line-load regulation. Ensures that the output voltage holds steady from no load to full load. Keeps pumps, motors, lights, fans, radios, televisions, etc. at the correct voltage, even during brown-out situations.
- Proportional Fan Circuitry. During times of heavy load demands, the automatic circuitry will activate the fan before thermal stress can occur on any internal components.
- External Fuses. Protection against improper wiring. Easily replaced.
- Multiple units can be operated in parallel to increase amperage, or series to increase voltage. See IQ4-Parallel to synchronize charging of two DLS chargers in parallel. CANNOT use an IQ-4 if connected in series. Iota highly recommends using the same model units when connecting in series or parallel.

NOTE FOR GENERATOR SYSTEMS: Iota DLS chargers are not power factor correcting. Because of this, the generator powering your charger must supply at least 30–35% more power to the charger than the maximum rated wattage of the DLS unit. We recommend using a generator with double the output of the DLS charger, to ensure your generator is never overloaded. For the DLS45: Minimum generator size: 950 watts. Recommended generator size: 1200 watts.
