AC Charger 2-Bank 40A, 24V Out, 110VAC In CSA/UL

This BCA1000 COTS AC-source battery charger is designed to charge a battery at 24VDC.

Internally, the single-board design incorporates a time-tested switch mode technology for unmatched efficiency and ultra-quiet operation. Additional stages of filtering on the outputs reduce conducted and radiated EMI noise to very low levels.

This unit features a user-selectable 2-stage or 3-stage charging profile, and the output voltage adjusts for optimum charging. Additionally, the equalization mode and voltage temperature compensation increase the lifetime of expensive battery systems.

Built for rugged duty, this unit is constructed from heavy-duty anodized extruded and billet machined aluminum with O-ring seals and all stainless-steel fasteners.

Reliability features of this product line include LED status indicators, over-temperature shutdown, current limiting, reverse polarity battery connection protection, output short circuit shutdown with automatic recovery, and output over-voltage protection.
