Mean Well has expanded its AC/DC battery charger line with the introduction of the 160 W GC160 series. With no-load power consumption less than 1 W and efficiency up to 94%, the units save energy in both standby and active modes. Featuring two-stage fast charging characteristics, the GC160 series is suitable for all kinds of batteries, such as lead-acid, Lithium-Mn (LiMnO2), Lithium-Fe battery (LiFePO4) and sealed lead-acid gel.
The chargers possess a two-stage charging curve (constant current and constant voltage) and can monitor the battery capacity by detecting the battery voltage. They can quickly charge the battery in constant current mode in a low battery capacity status and then, when the battery bank becomes full, the charger can automatically resort to constant voltage mode with low charging current to avoid lifetime reduction caused by over-charging.
Using the standard IEC320-C14 inlet as the input connector, the GC160 series is equipped with an earth ground pin and enclosed in a UL 94V-0 rated plastic case. These Class I units can effectively prevent users from electrical shock and are suitable for charging electric scooters, electric bikes and electric wheelchairs. Featuring 85–264 V a.c. full range input and active PFC function, the power supplies comply with the harmonic requirements of EN61000-3-2. Standard features include two-colour LED indicator for charging status, as well as short circuit, over-voltage and over-temperature protections. The chargers boast global safety/EMC certificates per UL, TUV, CB, FCC and CE which guarantees safety for charging applications such as household appliance, security systems, leisure vehicles and office/commercial equipment.
