Projecta's HDBM35 and HDBM150 Bring Charging and Diagnostics to 12V/24V Workshops
The new INTELLI-CHARGE managers offer 35A and 150A outputs, multi-chemistry charging profiles, and alternator health checks for professional and DIY users.
HDBM35 and HDBM150: Outputs and Voltage Range
Projecta has added two automatic battery managers to its INTELLI-CHARGE line: the HDBM35 and HDBM150. The HDBM35 delivers 35A, the HDBM150 150A, and both handle 12V and 24V systems. That makes them suitable for everything from small cars to heavy trucks, and they are built to maintain, test, and charge rather than just dump current. The units are aimed at workshops and home garages alike.
Charging Profiles for Lead Acid, Lithium, AGM, and Gel
The HDBM35 and HDBM150 let users select a charging profile matched to the battery chemistry. The options cover lead acid, lithium, AGM, and gel types, so each battery gets a charge curve tailored to its needs. That helps avoid overcharging or undercharging, which is a common cause of premature battery failure. Projecta designed the profiles for both professional and DIY users who may switch between battery types.
Alternator and Voltage Diagnostics Included
Beyond charging, the new INTELLI-CHARGE units run diagnostic checks on the vehicle electrical system. Users can assess alternator health and monitor voltage levels, which helps identify problems before they leave a driver stranded. Projecta designed the managers to deliver stable power for the complex electrical systems found in many European vehicles, where voltage consistency matters for engine control units and other electronics.
Quick-Release Leads and Copper Clamps
The battery managers come with quick-release charging leads and copper clamps for secure connections. The copper clamps provide good conductivity and grip, while the quick-release design lets users attach and detach the leads quickly. The units are also sealed to be dustproof, so they can sit on a workshop bench or floor without sucking in debris. That durability suits harsh conditions.
Spark-Free, Polarity-Protected Connections
Safety on the connections is a key part of the design. These battery managers are spark-free, so the clamps won't throw a spark on contact, and polarity protection prevents damage from reversed connections. That is a practical safeguard for anyone working in a hurry or in poor light, where clamping the wrong post is easy to do.
Five-Year Warranty Backs the New Units
Projecta backs the new battery managers with a five-year warranty. The units are also dustproof, designed to withstand harsh workshop conditions, ensuring reliable performance over time.
Nationwide Retail Availability
The new units are available through automotive and transportation retailers nationwide, giving independent workshops and DIY owners access to a single tool that handles charging and diagnostics across multiple vehicle types. The retail launch positions them as replacements for separate chargers and testers, simplifying the equipment list for a busy garage.
