Power onboard since 1996

With its own team of engineers, Dolphin Charger™ designs, manufactures and distributes a complete range of robust and intelligent power conversion supplies and solutions for the MARINE market: AC/DC battery chargers, DC/DC boosters, DC/AC inverter/chargers, batteries, battery monitors and HMI as well as accessories such as smart relays, converters and isolators.

Dolphin Charger™ delivers efficient and reliable standard products as well as high-end customized equipment.

Our MARINE range meets all supply and conversion needs from recreational use (sailboats, yachts) to semi-professional and professional uses: catamarans, super-yachts, merchant navy, barges, service and passenger boats, heavy-duty workboats, military vessels, quayside cranes…

Since 2017, Dolphin Charger™ products also meet AUTOMOTIVE standards and can be fitted into recreational vehicles (mobile homes, campers, trailers) and any on-road/off-road service vehicle: ambulances, fire trucks, heavy-duty service vans, all-purpose- utility vehicles in the emergency, agriculture, landscaping, forestry and worksite/construction sectors. Dolphin Charger™ products are of course adapted to various INDUSTRIAL uses such as power backup systems, solar and wind energy, airport and facility management.

Dolphin Charger™ units are smart and open: they can be connected to any onboard system through the most widespread protocols (CAN-bus, LIN-bus, NMEA 2000…).


Dolphin Charger™ is the first and only marine power specialist to give a 4-year warranty on most of its range. The Dolphin Charger™ engineering process is ISO 9001 (v2015) certified. Our products go through a rigorous series of tests and controls. In 2015, our Heavy-Duty range of products received DNV-GL Marine Type Approval, one of the highest certifications for the marine industry.

Since 1996, my team has designed, manufactured and continuously improved our range of power products. We have sold over 100 000 units worldwide so far.

Our units are compact, smart and open. Our heavy-duty products have been DNV-GL certified since 2015 : this is simply the best certification you can get on the marine market.

And we have great ambitions for 2020 with our brand new ProLite Series.

For all these reasons, I personally stand behind each Dolphin Charger product.
