Why You Need this 48V 20A Lithium Charger
ARDENT Lithium (LiFePO4) battery chargers are light and compact state-of-the-art battery chargers with a charging profile specifically designed to charge and maintain Lithium (LiFePO4) batteries, and can safely achieve a 100% State of Charge. This 48V 20A model lithium battery charger operates from mains power AC 200-264V as input, supplying up to a 20A charging output suitable for nominal 48V LiFePO4 batteries. The charger's built-in protection technology provides protection against Over Voltage and Over Current output, Short Circuit and Reverse Polarity. For a 48V system, we recommend a bulk and absorption rate of 57.4V and floating it at 56.5V to 58.4V. Sometimes, one of the batteries may trigger a high-voltage disconnect in your system. The battery's internal BMS will help handle a high-voltage disconnect
Ultimately, using a battery charger with a specific Lithium charge algorithm is the best option for maximum performance and lifespan of any lithium battery. Using any other charger can cause damage to the Lithium battery.
Easily Connect & Charge Your Lithium (LiFePO4) Battery
This battery charger has a wide AC input voltage range, 100-240 VAC 50/60Hz, which is compatible with various power needs. This 20A lithium charger comes with an Anderson Plug charging cable which is designed to allows users to quickly establish the connection between the battery and the charger.
- The charger comes with M8 eyelets - with Anderson Pugs making it easy to connect to the battery.
Ardent 48V 20A Lithium Battery Charger
ARDENT Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) battery chargers have a built-in Protection System to prevent damage to the charger from almost any external accidental occurrence that would normally cause damage. The internal Protection System will automatically disconnect to prevent damage to the charger, and will automatically reconnect when the error condition has been resolved.
ARDENT Lithium Battery Chargers are optimized for use with lithium (LiFePO4). Rated at 20amps this is the perfect size for any 100AH or above 48V lithium battery. Lithium batteries benefit best from being charged using a LiFePO4 compatible battery charger with three-stage charging mode-constant current, constant voltage, trickle (or floating charge).
What is a 20AMP 48V Lithium Charger ?
This Ardent 48V 20A AC charger is designed for lithium batteries (LifePO4 Battery). The charger has a 3-stage intelligent charging design (CC/CV/trickle) to ensure it charges the lithium battery quickly and efficiently. This battery charger has 5-layer protection functions to realize comprehensive monitoring and protection of the battery. This charger is suitable for RVs, motorbikes, boats, and camper-van.
- - Water, dust and chemical resistant
- - Potential recovery of fully discharged ‘dead’ batteries
- - Automatic power supply function
- - Severe cold performance: down to -30°C
- - Several other battery life enhancing features
- - Temperature compensated charging
The charger’s indicator light illustrates the connected battery's operating mode and condition. Red light means that it is charging and green light reveals a full charge. This is a low noise charger, so no annoying noise while it is working.
CHARGER FEATURES:
Over Voltage Protection - When the charger output voltage exceeds the maximum charging voltage, the charger enters a standby state. It will restore to normal working conditions automatically after troubleshooting.
Over Current Protection - When the charger output current exceeds the maximum charging current, the charger enters a standby state. It will restore to normal working conditions automatically after troubleshooting.
Short Circuit Protection - When the charger detects a short circuit at output terminals, the charger enters a short-circuit protection state. It will restore to normal working conditions automatically after troubleshooting.
Reverse Polarity Protection - When the charger detects that the polarity at the output terminals are reversed, the charger enters a reverse polarity protection state. It will restore to normal working conditions automatically after troubleshooting.
What is a PFC in a Lithium Charger?
In a charger, PFC stands for Power Factor Correction, a circuit that improves the relationship between the real power used by the charger and the apparent power drawn from the electrical grid. By minimizing harmonics and drawing current in phase with the voltage, PFC technology increases efficiency, prevents premature tripping of circuit breakers, meets international regulatory standards, and improves overall power quality for both the charger and the grid.
What is Power Factor Correction?
- Power Factor (PF):
This is a measure of how effectively electrical power is being used. A high power factor (close to 1) indicates that most of the power drawn from the grid is being converted into useful work.
Benefits of PFC in Chargers
- Increased Efficiency:
PFC chargers use power more effectively, reducing waste.
The Problem:
Chargers, especially older or non-PFC designs, often draw current in a distorted, non-sinusoidal way, leading to a low power factor. This creates inefficiencies and can cause problems on the electrical grid.
The Solution:
A PFC circuit shapes the input current to be more in phase with the line voltage, which reduces harmonic distortion and results in a high power factor.
Regulatory Compliance:
PFC helps meet strict international standards for power quality, which are increasingly important for modern electronics.
Improved Power Quality:
By reducing harmonic distortion, PFCs improve the quality of power supplied by the grid.
Protection:
PFC chargers often incorporate overload, over-voltage, and short-circuit protections, enhancing safety.
Grid Stability:
They prevent premature tripping of circuit breakers by reducing the strain on the electrical infrastructure.
Enhanced Charging Experience:
Some PFC chargers, especially for electric vehicles, use intelligent control to optimize the charging process, ensuring a consistent and efficient charge.
DC-DC Charging For Lithium Batteries
Regarding DC-DC Chargers and solar controllers, you must change these to LiFePO4-specific models, which can charge your Lithium batteries to an entire 100% State of Charge. **If you are charging from an alternator, you will need a DC-DC Charger that is designed to manage solar specific to lithium (LiFEPO4).
