ABSOPULSE’s BCP 1K5-PEL series of heavy-duty PFC-input AC-DC battery chargers were designed for charging an external battery in industrial environments. Housed in a splash-proof Pelican case with a sturdy handle, the chargers are well suited to applications where ruggedness and easy portability are key requirements. 

The BCP 1K5-PEL portable battery charger uses high-frequency conversion technology to deliver up to 1500W continuous output power.

The charger operates from any voltage in the 180Vac to 264Vac input range, with a 10Arms maximum input current.  An optional universal input of 95-264Vac allows for operation from all typical  voltages worldwide. The chargers employ active power factor correction, which limits input current harmonics to achieve a PFC rating of 0.97 at full load for the entire input range. The units comply with EN 61000-3-2 directive for low input harmonic distortion.

Any charging voltage between 20V and 400Vdc is possible.  A built-in output separation diode prevents battery discharge back into the charger if the AC is disconnected. 

The charging voltage and current are indicated on digital meters on the front panel.  The Pelican case must be open during operation. 

The BCH 1K5-PEL is conformal coated, heavily ruggedized and it is housed in a water-proof Pelican case with a sturdy handle for portability and easy use in the field. The case measures 50.2 x 40 x 18.8 cm and the entire unit weighs approximately 12 kilograms.

Built-in fans provide sufficient airflow for operation at full specification over a 0°C to 50°C temperature range. Extended temperature ranges are available. Protection includes inrush current limiting, over-voltage protection, short circuit protection, a self-resetting thermostat for thermal protection. The output is protected against reverse battery connection by built-in crossbar diode and output breaker.
