P45 Battery Charger
P45 Battery Charger
  • Microprocessor control
  • Provides regulated DC output and current limiting capabilities
  • Graphical interface
  • Wide temperature range 0 to 50°C / 32 to 122°F
  • Approved for UL, CE, CSA and EMC standards


Various filtering levels are available to match output requirements. Typical MTBF is 100,000 hours and typical MTTR is less than one hour. The charger’s graphic interface, with its user-definable controls and alarm set-points, allows for quick and versatile customization. Operates to UL, CE, CSA and EMC standards.
