1000W, On-Board Battery Charger for Vehicles
in Cold Climates Suitable for installation on Busses, Trucks and other Vehicles. The BCP 1K-27CB Series rugged industrial quality battery charger specifically designed to assist vehicle warm-up during extremely cold weather. Typically permanently installed on a vehicle, this charger is activated on days when the ambient temperature drops below 0ºC.This charger accepts 115Vac nominal input (100V - 132Vac range) and delivers 27.5Vdc at 36A for float charging the 24Vdc battery - custom input and output options are available on request. In addition to maintaining the battery condition, it provides sufficient power to keep essential on-board equipment and heater fans operational during the vehicle warm-up period. The BCP 1K-27CB operates at full specification over a -40°C to +50°C cold plate temperature range Cooling is by conduction via baseplate to chassis wall and by additional convection. This charger is fully ruggedized and conformal coated and meets SAE International J1455 and IEC61373 Cat 1 A&B shock and vibration standards as a minimum. The enclosure measures (5.5” x 6.5” x 14”) and weighs approximately 10 pounds. This battery charger is based on field proven technology with a track record in transportation environments including railway, trucking and aviation. The absence of fans, large design headroom, and the use of components with established reliability result in a high MTBF. Protection includes inrush current limiting, over-voltage protection, short circuit protection, and self-resetting thermostat for thermal protection. For detailed specifications for the BCP 1K-27CB, please see datasheet above (right). Absopulse offers an extensive range of battery chargers and UPS systems that can be modified to meet almost any electrical and mechanical requirement.
