Egon DC-Hub 48V, the heart of the 48V revolution.
Using tried and tested EGON circuit board-based power distribution, the Hub 48V is engineered to connect all major components to enable charging at 48V from an alternator and solar array. It connects components such as controllers, batteries, DC-converters, inverter, alternator and solar, all to one central unit, with in-built surge (load dump) protection. But why is this a revolutionary product?
The military has been using 48V for years, but until now its been out of reach to most other markets because of its inherent complexity. Egon's 48v architecture solves the complexity issue by using, at its heart, a central connection board. All the complex stuff has been done! Together with provided set-up parameters, a reliable, redundant-rich 48V system can be installed by any workshop with DC power skills. And even adventurous DIY types.
Is 48V right for your application?
Do you want or need charge rates far in excess of anything available in 12V? If shore power was a thing of the past, would this be beneficial to you? Do the limitations of 12V cramp your style? This isn't hype. 48V easily delivers in excess of 4 times the charge rates of any 12V system, and adds the efficiencies of 48V to any system using it.
TO BUILD an operational 48V system you will need the following products. In this list, only the alternator and battery (needs compatible comms protocol) are optional should you prefer to source them elsewhere. Other branded DC-DC converters or alternator controllers are NOT compatible with the Egon 48V hub.

CAN I INSTAL THIS MYSELF?
While installation is literally a matter of following instructions to connect these devices and set-up parameters, all are critical to successful operation. So, if you do not have experience with DC electrics, then do not attempt to install it yourself. Find a qualified workshop to install it for you. It means someone who have experience with DC electrical installations and a proven track record.
Our installation manual contains 26 pages of installation diagrams and set-up data. And it has to be followed to the letter. Download it here
Included in this product is a multi-purpose and extremely rugged protective stainless-steel bracket as seen in illustrations. It can be located in any orientation. (Remove plastic protective cover before use)
We are here to help.
- Read the instruction manual cover to cover.
- Start your installation page by page.
- Do not skip steps!
- Heiner and Andrew are here to help via support email, but please do not attempt this as your first DC installation without contacting us, or a workshop for assistance.
Egon's 48V is an amazing system and there are parts of the installation that are new to some. Auto sparkies will figure this out very quickly and we will support anyone wanting to go the 48V route.
ALTERNATOR FOR YOUR ENGINE? PLEASE, BEFORE YOU CONTACT US . . .
95% of the questions received are, "Do you have a 48V alternator for . . . ?"
Please look HERE.
If your vehicle isn't in the list, then we do not have an alternator for you. The list is complete and up to date.
However. If your vehicle isn't listed, please contact RAM AIR in Melbourne and ask them if they have an air-conditioner bracket for your engine, because if they do, our generic 48V alternator will fit your vehicle. PLEASE DO THIS BEFORE CONTACTING US, because all we can do is copy/paste what is written here. Thanks!
Battery Compatibility & Warranty Requirements
To maintain valid warranty coverage for your Egon 48V Hub, the system must be installed using either:
-
An Egon Certified Battery, or
-
A battery featuring an equivalent and fully compatible communication protocol to an Egon Certified Battery.
Why Active Communication Is Required
The Egon 48V architecture relies on active CAN bus communication to ensure optimal performance, safety, and diagnostic capabilities. Without compatible closed-loop communication, critical battery parameters—including cell-level monitoring, individual cell balance, and temperature control—cannot be monitored by the system.
Active CAN bus integration enables real-time fault detection and diagnostic alerts, which are displayed directly on the Cerbo GX screen in clear, plain-language text. This ensures system warnings or faults are immediately obvious to the user so corrective action can be taken before any system damage occurs.
Important: Failure to use an Egon Certified Battery or a battery with an equivalent communication protocol will void the manufacturer warranty on the Egon 48V Hub.
