In an era where off-grid adventures are becoming increasingly popular, the demand for reliable and efficient power solutions in caravans has never been higher. Recognising this need, Jayco Australia, in collaboration with Projecta, a pioneer in power management systems, unveiled their latest innovations for 2025.
Meet the PM535J & PM635J
Projecta has been developing battery and power systems in Australia since 1989, and their new PM535J and PM635J units represent a leap forward in both form and function. At first glance, you’ll notice the flatter, more compact design. These updated units fit neatly into your van’s cabinetry, creating more usable space without compromising on performance.
Beyond the looks, the internal components have been upgraded with next-generation tech. Both systems are designed to integrate seamlessly with your Jayco, making life on the road easier and more energy efficient.
What’s New in the PM535J?
Compact, efficient, and packed with functionality, the PM535J is designed for modern Jayco travellers who value simplicity without compromising on performance.
Key Features:
- 35A AC Charger & 35A Power Supply: Seamlessly prioritises mains power when available, ensuring your house batteries remain charged without unnecessary cycling.
- Integrated 30A MPPT Solar Regulator: Efficient solar charging provides approx. 150–180Ah/day under continuous conditions.
- Built-in 30A DC–DC Charger: Ensures optimal charging from your tow vehicle, no matter the alternator type.
- 14 Output Circuits: Including 2 dedicated switchable circuits for the water pump and hot water system.
- Touchscreen Display Options: Factory-fitted 4″ display or optional 7″ display – both offer:
- Real-time and historical data for AC, solar, and DC–DC charging.
- 5 switchable lighting circuits.
- App connectivity with over-the-air firmware updates for new features and optimised algorithms.
- Light-up Fuse Panel: If a fuse blows, it lights up red behind the translucent panel, so no more guessing which one’s out.
- Bluetooth App Support: Universal app for all Projecta PM systems, allowing remote monitoring and control.
Want More Power? The PM635J Delivers.
Designed for travellers who want to stay off-grid longer, the PM635J brings serious grunt:
- 60A AC charger + 60A AC power supply
- 45A MPPT solar regulator
- 45A DC-DC charger
You’ll still get all the smart features from the PM535J, like touchscreen control, app updates, 14 output circuits (including water and hot water), and a handy night mode to keep things dark and quiet.
Off-Grid Travel, Powered with Confidence
As more of our customers embrace off-grid travel, we know how important reliable power is. Whether you’re heading off the beaten track or settling in at a quiet unpowered site, having confidence in your van’s energy system makes all the difference.
Customisable Touchscreen Displays: Both models feature a choice between a 4-inch or 7-inch colour touchscreen display, depending on your van’s layout and your preferences. These displays are clean, easy to read, and packed with useful data — including live and historical tracking of your power usage, solar gain, charging inputs, and load outputs.
Smart Interface: The user interface has been thoughtfully designed with colour-coded battery and tank levels, so you can see your system status at a glance. And if you like to travel light at night, there’s even a night mode that dims the screen and reduces fan noise — no more blacking out bright lights with electrical tape!
Stay Connected and Up to Date: You can also monitor and control your system via a new unified Bluetooth app, which covers all Projecta models. Better still, updates can be pushed through the app via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, meaning your power system stays current with no need for a service visit.
Optional Accessories That Make a Big Difference
Projecta has also released a suite of optional accessories to work seamlessly with the new PM range. If you want to customise your power setup, Projecta makes it easy. You can add:
- Tyre Pressure Monitoring System – Pre-paired sensors that simply screw onto your tyre valves and display info directly on your screen or phone.
- Caravan Leveling System – View real-time leveling data on your phone while backing in.
- Extra MPPT solar regulator – For even more solar capacity.
- Projecta LB HD batteries – Communicate directly with the system, so you won’t need a shunt.
- 2kW or 3kW inverter chargers – Fully integrated options with 120A or 180A charging capacity.
Every component talks to each other via data cables, which means you get a smarter, safer, and more efficient system overall.
