PRESS RELEASE - 13th October 2005
Rugged lead-acid battery chargers offer safe and rapid charging for marine and industrial applications
New from power supply manufacturer VxI
Power is the Morven BCM series – a range of rugged 3-stage cyclic chargers for
12V and 24V lead-acid battery systems.
Produced at VxI’s manufacturing
facility in Lincoln, the battery chargers have been designed to provide safe and
rapid charging and are particularly suitable for marine and industrial
applications.
Very simple to operate, they feature
automatic changeover from boost charge to float charge and incorporate an
internal diode splitter that allows independent charging of up to three
batteries.
Comprehensive protection circuitry
guards the units against damage from reversed polarity, overtemperature,
overvoltage, undervoltage and overcharging conditions.
The BCM series consists of three 12V
models with charging currents of 15, 30 or 50A and four 24V models with charging
currents of 8, 15, 25 or 50A. Sizes
range from 170 x 155 x 65mm to 350 x 220 x 65mm.
All models operate from an input voltage
of 180-270VAC, have an efficiency of greater than 80% at full load, and are
designed for use in ambient temperatures ranging from –10 to +45 degC.
In addition to the standard range of
products, VxI Power can also manufacture variants and specials to satisfy
individual customer requirements. RoHS-compliant Pb-free versions will be available soon.
