BCD300 DC Battery Charger
• Ultra-Quiet
•
without interference
• Rugged & Reliable
• Ensure years of
trouble free operation
• Fast & Accurate Charging
The BCD300 battery charger provides up to 300 watts to charge a 12V or 24V
battery system (1 or 2 banks) from a 24V, 32V or 36V source. The source and the
batteries under charge must share a common ground.
The all-new single board design incorporates state of the art switchmode
technology for unmatched efficiency and ultra-quite operation. Multiple stages of
filtering reduce radiated or conducted noise to very low levels. The BCD300 Series
is capable of charging up to two independent banks of batteries. The two stage
charging profile charges the batteries at a constant current equal to the maximum
continuous output of the unit. When the battery voltages come up to the float
voltage that the unit is set to, the current into the batteries will taper off as
necessary to maintain the batteries at the float voltage.
The unit can be left permanently connected without fear of overcharge or damage
to the batteries. The adjustable float voltage feature allows the unit to be used for
any type of lead-acid battery includ ing lea d acid and gel cell. A v ailabl e option s
include a remote control and/or extra wide temperature. We are confident that you
will get many years of reliable service from this Battery charger.
