Analytic Systems BCA1050MPVW-24DND

This model is a variant of Analytic Systems’ proven 1000-watt military grade BCA1050 1000-watt battery charger, designed specifically for the Canadian Department of National Defense (DND). It consists of the military version of the BCA1050-24 charger enhanced with the Portable and Digital Volt/Ammeter options in an IP66 rated water resistant black anodized extruded aluminum enclosure with billet machined aluminum end plates and stainless-steel fasteners.

The charger features a power factor corrected input stage for efficient operation compatible with any single-phase AC source voltage from 85 to 264 VAC at either 50 or 60 Hz and is provided with a 3-meter NEMA 5-15 power cord. Other plugs can be fitted to the power cord to connect to any source of AC power within the specified range.

The charger can simultaneously charge one or two banks of 24-volt batteries that share a common ground. When fitted with one or two battery temperature sensors the charging voltage will compensate for battery temperature. Reverse polarity protection is standard with LED indication of improper battery connection. Additional indicator LEDs and an alarm buzzer to alert the user to other fault conditions.

The digital volt/ammeter can display the voltage and current for either battery bank or both combined as well as a dark mode, selectable by waterproof pushbutton.

A rugged portable cart is included that the charger can be easily mounted or unmounted from as well as a custom 2.5-meter charging cable terminated in a standard NATO Slave Connector with an integrated battery temperature sensor on the vehicle end and power and temperature connectors on the charger end. The cart includes storage brackets for both the input and output cables for convenience.

The charger is calibrated to charge a standard 24V lead acid battery bank in either 3-Stage or 2-Stage profiles. In 2-Stage operating mode it also can be used as a power supply without a battery. An internal output voltage adjustment is provided to allow qualified personnel to adjust the charger output to suit other battery
chemistries.
