Test conditions and notes7
  1. 1. Modification for charger specification may be required for different battery specification. Please contact battery vendor and MEAN WELL for details.
  2. 2. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 230VAC input, rated load and 25℃ of ambient temperature.
  3. 3. This is MeanWell's suggested range, please consult your battery manufacturer for their suggestions about maximum charging current limitation.
  4. 4. Derating may be needed under low input voltage. Please check the derating curve for more details.
  5. 5. Constant current operation region is within 50~100% rated output voltage.
  6. 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. 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 is the Mean Well GC160A24-AD1 designed for?

The GC160A24-AD1 is a 160.2W AC/DC battery charger for lead-acid (flooded, Gel and AGM) and Li-ion batteries. It provides a 27.2V output at 5.89A, with a recommended battery capacity of 30 to 90Ah, making it suitable for commercial and industrial battery charging applications.

What are the key output specifications of this model?

This model is rated for 160.2W total output power. Its nominal output is 27.2V DC with a rated current of 5.89A, which distinguishes it within Mean Well's GC160 charger series.

What input range does the GC160A24-AD1 support?

The unit accepts a universal input range of 85 to 264VAC, and it also supports 120 to 370VDC input. That wide range helps buyers standardize on one charger for use across different regions and power environments.

Is this charger suitable for demanding industrial environments?

Yes, this model is specified for operation from -30°C to +70°C, subject to the derating curve. It also includes protections for short circuit, overload, over voltage, and over temperature, which supports use in tougher operating conditions.

How efficient is the Mean Well GC160A24-AD1?

The GC160A24-AD1 has a typical efficiency of 92.5%, which helps reduce wasted energy and heat generation. It also has no-load power consumption below 1W, which is useful for applications where standby power matters.

What features make this model different from a basic desktop power adaptor?

Unlike a basic adaptor, this model includes built-in active PFC, a 2-stage charging characteristic, and charging-status indication with a 2-color LED. It is also built as a fully enclosed Class I unit with an IEC320-C14 AC inlet and free-air convection cooling.

What compliance and warranty details are available for this model?

The AD1 version carries UL1012 and TUV BS EN/EN62368-1 safety approval plus EAC, with EMC compliance including EN55032 Class B and FCC Part 15 Class B. Mean Well specifies a 2-year warranty for this model.
