The BCD310 battery charger provides up to 300 watts to charge a 12 or 24 or 48 Volt battery system from a 110V, 220V or 300VDC source. The batteries must share a common ground but the source can be on a different positive or negative ground.

Multiple stages of filtering reduce radiated or conducted noise to very low levels. Extra features include adjustable output voltage, audible and visual indicators for low input voltage, 3-Bank charging, low output voltage, over temperature and an equalize charging cycle. Safety features include reverse input protection, over-temperature shutdown, current limiting, short circuit protection with automatic recovery, input undervoltage shutdown, reverse battery protection, output overvoltage crowbar and a dry contact alarm relay output.

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 DC Battery Charger.
