DCX Power System 12V

12V DCX Power System — Chassis-Mounted Lithium for Caravans

The 12V DCX Power System has been designed and engineered in Australia by OzXcorp to withstand tough conditions and long-haul travel. Unlike traditional caravan batteries that take up valuable internal storage, DCX is chassis-mounted, freeing up space inside the van and providing a stronger, safer, and more reliable energy solution. Distributed nationally by NCE, the DCX is supported across Australia and New Zealand with warranty and technical assistance.

This system is available in two capacities, 628 Ah (around 8.0 kWh) and 942 Ah (around 12.0 kWh). Both configurations are supplied with the required 4 m cable and accessory kit so you can integrate them into your caravan without additional parts. The pre-terminated, military-grade connectors reduce wiring errors and speed up installation compared to conventional systems.

Key reasons to choose DCX

• Chassis-mounted steel enclosure that protects the battery from impact and vibration while freeing up internal cabinetry space.
• Military-spec plug and play connectors that simplify installation and minimise risk of incorrect wiring.
• Broad compatibility with leading inverter and BMS platforms including Victron, Redarc, Enerdrive, Projecta, and BMPRO.
• Safety-first design certified to UL1973, with IP67 ingress protection, integrated fire suppression, and an electrical alarm system.
• Long service life with over 8,000 full cycles at 100% depth of discharge, giving peace of mind for years of use.
• Backed nationally with a 7-year warranty, installation support, and ongoing technical assistance.

Models and specifications

Installation overview

The DCX Power System is intended to reduce install time and complexity. The chassis mounting system positions the battery outside of the van’s living space, reducing heat build-up and freeing up cabinetry. Installation typically involves securing the steel enclosure to rated mounting points on the chassis, connecting the pre-terminated cable harness, and integrating with an inverter-charger. Additional fusing and isolation switches should be installed as per Australian standards. Qualified installers should always complete chassis work to ensure compliance and safety.

Everyday use and performance

End users can expect reliable power delivery for high-demand appliances such as air conditioners, induction cooktops, and microwaves. The DCX is engineered to handle repeated heavy loads without degradation thanks to its large cycle life and robust thermal management. Because it integrates with mainstream inverter brands, it can be set up to provide both 240 V AC and 12 V DC outputs for common caravan appliances.

Approximate runtimes

These figures are indicative and assume typical inverter efficiency. Real-world results vary depending on weather, load, and user behaviour.

Charging options

• AC charger or inverter-charger delivering 50–120 A for fast top-ups at powered sites.
• Solar array sized from 300 W to 1500 W+ using an MPPT controller for off-grid charging.
• Vehicle alternator via DC-DC charger providing 25–60 A, useful during travel days.

Safety and compliance

The DCX platform has been developed with compliance and safety as top priorities. UL1973 certification covers stationary and motive battery applications, while IP67 ingress protection ensures dust-tight sealing and resistance to immersion. Integrated fire suppression and an audible electrical alarm provide extra reassurance when travelling in remote areas. The steel housing is designed to protect against debris and impacts while driving on rough roads.

Support and warranty

OzXcorp designs and engineers the DCX Power System in Australia, with NCE providing exclusive distribution across Australia and New Zealand. This ensures strong supply chains, local warranty support, and training for trade partners. A 7-year national warranty is included, giving owners confidence that their investment is backed long-term. Full design support, installation guidance, and post-sales technical service are available for both manufacturers and end users.
