Hydro Charger Universal

Universal Hydro Generator – Power and Efficiency for Your Vessel

Monitoring via Android app

Our latest development builds on the proven technology of the Hydro Charger Standard.

Designed to be simple, yet powerful, this hydro generator is ideal for both coastal cruising and offshore sailing.

With a lightweight design of just 8 kg, user-friendly operation, and an attractive price point, it is also practical for smaller vessels. Thanks to specially tuned propeller settings, it can generate power from speeds as low as 3 knots, making it perfect for day trips or short voyages.

Key Features

• Lightweight yet robust: Solid construction in 316 stainless steel, weighing only 8 kg (dimensions without propeller: 90 x 28 x 8 cm).
• Versatile use: Suitable for coastal and offshore sailing.
• Ready to install: Delivered fully assembled (excluding boat mount). Mounts available separately depending on application.
• Simple installation: Stern bracket tilt set once via perforated plate.
• Plug-and-play operation: Just hang, sail, and generate electricity.
• Smart controller included: 12 V regulator controllable via Android app (Bluetooth, no SIM needed). Optional 3 m remote display available.
• Adjustable charging current: Up to 20 A (12 V). Propeller tilt can be factory-adjusted to vessel speed.
• Power consumption: 30–40 mA depending on screen brightness, 0 mA when turned off.
• Final charge voltage: Programmable in 0.1 V increments between 13.8 V and 15 V.

Mounting Options

• Fixed stern mount (use only when vessel is stationary)
• Swing bracket with side stops and 180° pivot
• Detachable angled mount for swim platform

Models

• Art. No. 7105: 12 V version, fully ready to install, mount sold separately
• Art. No. 7106: 24 V version with Hydro Charger Standard 12/24 V regulator, mount sold separately

Controller / Regulator (12 V)

• Powerbox electronics with Android app for real-time system monitoring via Bluetooth.
• Displays battery voltage, charge current, Ah charged since last start, generator voltage and speed, electronics temperature, regulator status, PWM modulation, and GPS speed.
• Optional remote display available (12 V, 3 m cable).

Accessories

• 12 V remote display (Art. No. 7108)
  The independent display can be permanently mounted on the controller, for example on the chart table, allowing you to monitor battery status and charging current at any time.
• Fixed stern mount (Art. No. 7109)
  This independent stern mount is useful if the hydro generator will be used for coastal sailing.
  Always supplied with a backing plate.
  Weight: 1 kg. Dimensions: 5 x 20 x 2 cm.
  (An additional support is recommended for installation, e.g., in the engine compartment, so the hydro generator can be stored securely on board.)
  Installation and removal are recommended only when the vessel is stationary.
• Detachable angled swim platform mount (Art. No. 7110)
  The mount is attached to the swim platform using a backing plate.
  When the hydro generator is not in use, the angled mount can be easily removed and stored by unscrewing the knob, leaving the swim platform clear except for the flat plate, so it does not interfere in port or when swimming.
  Always supplied with a backing plate.
  Weight: 2.1 kg. Dimensions: 20 x 5 x 22 cm.
• Pendulum mount (Art. No. 7111)
  While sailing, the mount automatically pivots up to 25° to each side depending on position, ensuring the hydro generator remains vertical in the water.
  It can also be rotated 180° upward by pulling the safety lever cord and the attached control line. In this position, the lock engages and holds it in place.
  In this position, the generator can be mounted or removed.
  By pressing the lever (with a boat hook), the generator returns to its operational pivoting position, where it automatically activates.
  Always supplied with a backing plate.
  Weight: 1.6 kg. Dimensions: 5 x 20 x 5 cm.
• Carry bag (Art. No. 7112)
• 3-piece propeller protector (Art. No. 7113)

Lightweight, powerful, and easy to operate — our Universal Hydro Generator ensures reliable renewable energy on any sailing trip.
