Battery System
The BCA310 Battery Charger provides up to 300 watts to charge a 12, 24, 32, 48 or
72-volt battery system (1, 2 or 3 banks) from a 110 or 220VAC source. The batteries
must share a common ground.
This all-new single board design incorporates state of the art switchmode technology
for unmatched efficiency and ultra-quiet operation. Multiple stages of filtering reduce
radiated or conducted noise to very low levels. Extra features include adjustabl e
output voltage, audible and visual indicators for low input voltage, low output voltage,
over temperature and an equalize charging cycle. Safety features include both
charger and battery over-temperature shutdown, current limiting, short circuit
protection with automatic recovery, input undervoltage shutdown, reverse battery
hook-up protection, a dry contact alarm relay output and output overvoltag e crowbar.
Optional features include a Digital Volt/Ammeter, a Remote Control Panel, and/or a
second Battery Temperature Sensor. We are confident that you will get many years
of reliable service from this AC Battery Charger.
