Test conditions and notes7
- 1. Modification for charger specification may be required for different battery specification. Please contact battery vendor and MEAN WELL for details.
- 2. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 230VAC input, rated load and 25℃ of ambient temperature.
- 3. This is MeanWell's suggested range, please consult your battery manufacturer for their suggestions about maximum charging current limitation.
- 4. Derating may be needed under low input voltage. Please check the derating curve for more details.
- 5. Constant current operation region is within 50~100% rated output voltage.
- 6. The power supply is considered a component which will be installed into a final equipment. The final equipment must be re-confirmed that it still meets EMC directives.(as available on https://www.meanwell.com//Upload/PDF/EMI_statement_en.pdf )
- 7. The ambient temperature derating of 3.5℃/1000m with fanless models and of 5℃/1000m with fan models for operating altitude higher than 2000m(6500ft).

FAQ
What battery charging output does the GC120A48-R7B provide?
The Mean Well GC120A48-R7B is rated for 54.4V output at 2.21A, with a total power rating of 120.2W. It is the 48V battery charger model in the GC120 series and uses a 2-stage charging characteristic.
What kind of applications is the GC120A48-R7B typically suited for?
This model is typically considered when a buyer needs a 54.4V charger with moderate current output and a compact 167 x 67 x 35 mm form factor. For B2B buyers, it can fit use cases where a 48V-class battery charger (10 to 35Ah recommended) is needed and a 4-pin Power DIN DC plug is preferred for the product-side interface.
What input power range does this charger support?
The GC120A48-R7B accepts a universal AC input range of 85 to 264VAC and also supports 120 to 370VDC input. That wide input range makes it suitable for buyers sourcing one charger model for different mains power environments.
What protection features are built into the GC120A48-R7B?
This charger includes protection for short circuit, overload, over voltage, and over temperature conditions. Its overload protection operates at 90 to 110% of rated output power with constant current limiting and auto-recovery, while over-voltage protection (59 to 69V) shuts down the output and requires re-powering to recover.
Is the GC120A48-R7B suitable for demanding indoor industrial or commercial environments?
The unit has a working temperature range of -30 to +70°C, subject to the derating curve, and a working humidity of 20 to 90% RH non-condensing. It also has EMC compliance including EN55032 Class B and FCC Part 15 Class B, and EN55035 light industry level immunity.
What output connector style does the GC120A48-R7B use?
This version uses a standard 4-pin Power DIN DC plug (KYCON KPP-4S or equivalent), identified by the R7B suffix. That matters for compatibility because buyers should match the plug style and pin assignment to the equipment or battery system they already use.
How does the GC120A48-R7B differ from a general-purpose power adaptor?
The GC120A48-R7B is a battery charger rather than a basic fixed-output adaptor, with a 2-stage charging characteristic and a charging-status LED indicator. It also includes battery-charger-oriented protections and a 4-pin Power DIN output plug, which can be more application-specific than standard commodity adaptors.
What warranty and efficiency can buyers expect from this model?
The datasheet does not state a warranty period for the GC120A48-R7B, so confirm warranty terms before ordering. The unit has a typical efficiency of 91% and a power factor above 0.97 at 230VAC, which can help buyers evaluating operating efficiency.
