Chargers for large battery packs with CAN bus

Low-cost, CAN Bus, PFC charger for large battery packs

********* AVAILABLE ONLY IN THE USA ***************

Elithion has developed a low-cost, CAN Bus, PFC (Power Factor Corrected) charger for large battery packs, which is simple to install and operate.

• Significantly less expensive than other traction battery chargers on the market
• Power Factor Corrected (PFC) input
• Non-isolated
• Fan cooled
• Regulation: Input AC current or Max output DC voltage, whichever is limiting
• Fuse protected: reverse battery polarity, output short, short to chassis
• Control: closed contact or CAN Bus
• Monitoring: CAN Bus
• Mandated regulatory testing: FCC Part 15 tested
• Optional regulatory testing (UL, CSA, CE...): may be performed by end user

• Electrical:
  • Minimum battery voltage (at discharged battery): 190 Vdc
  • Maximum battery voltage (at fully charged battery): adjustable from 200 to 450 Vdc
  • Input current: 15 Aac, user adjustable down to 1 Aac
  • Max power (at 120 Vac): 1800 W
  • Efficiency: > 95 %
  • Power factor: > 0.99
  • Charge current shape: fully rectified sine wave
  • Optional 13.5 V, 1A output to float charge 12 V lead-acid auxiliary battery

• Connectors:
  • AC input connector: IEC 320-C14
  • DC output connector: Anderson 15 A powerpole
  • Control connector: 6-pin Molex Mini-fit JR connector: Common, 12 V, control
