Download Data Sheet

The BCA1000R Rackmount Battery Charger (Rectifier)’s current mode switching design offers increased power and reliability in a compact package. The low ripple charging profile and standard equalize cycle greatly increases the lifetime of expensive battery systems.

Extra input and output filtering reduce EMI to extremely low levels. Reliability features include an input fuse, thermal shutdown, current limiting, reverse battery hookup protection and output short circuit shutdown with automatic recovery. The output voltage is easily adjusted 1.0 volts above or below the standard output voltage.

The model BCA1000R Battery Charger supplies either 12, 24, or 48 VDC from a 110 or 220 VAC power source (Field Convertible). A high quality Digital Volt/Ammeter allows the monitoring of charging current and charging voltage.
