Introduction
All new Current Mode switching design offers increased power and reliability in a compact
package. Extra input and output ltering reduce EMI to extremely low levels. Reliability
features include an input fuse, thermal shutdown, current limiting, reverse battery hookup
protection and output short circuit shutdown with automatic recovery. The output voltage is
easily adjusted 1.0 volts above or below the standard output voltage. The model BCD 1015
Battery Charger supplies either 12, 24, 32 or 48 VDC from a 24, 48 0r 72 VDC power source.
High quality digital meters can be added (factory option) to allow monitoring of charging
current and charging voltage.
