Test conditions and notes8
- 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. Test condition is at 25℃ the charging current vary with the ambient and components temperature. The lower temperature, the higher charging current.
- 6. Maximum charging current will be in the range of 85~110% rated output current.
- 7. The power supply is considered as an independent unit, but the final equipment still need to re-confirm that whole system complies with the EMC directives.(as available on https://www.meanwell.com//Upload/PDF/EMI_statement_en.pdf )
- 8. 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 are the main output specifications of the Mean Well GC330A36-C4P?
The GC330A36-C4P has a 261.1 to 326.4W output power range with a nominal output of 40.8V, 6.4A continuous and 8A peak charging current. That makes it suitable for applications needing a higher-power battery charger in this voltage range. It is part of Mean Well's 330W GC330 battery charger series.
What kinds of applications is this charger typically used for?
This model is typically considered for battery charging applications that require a 40.8V DC charging voltage, with a recommended battery capacity of 20 to 65Ah. Its two-stage charging (constant current, then constant voltage float) and red/green charging-status LED suit commercial and industrial equipment. Buyers commonly evaluate it where an external charger with built-in protections is preferred.
Can the GC330A36-C4P operate on international AC input voltage?
Yes. The specified AC input range is 90 to 264VAC, with DC input support of 127 to 370VDC. This full-range input design helps support use across different regional mains standards.
Is this model suitable for demanding temperature environments?
The GC330A36-C4P has a working temperature range of -30°C to +60°C, subject to the manufacturer's derating guidance. That wide range supports use in both cold and warm operating conditions. Buyers should still confirm that their specific enclosure and load conditions stay within the allowed range.
What protection features are included in this charger?
This model includes protection for short circuit, over voltage, and over temperature conditions. Short circuit protection uses hiccup mode with automatic recovery, while over-voltage protection shuts down the output, with recovery by re-powering the unit. These built-in protections are useful for buyers prioritizing equipment safety and power reliability.
How does the GC330A36-C4P compare with a standard low-power adapter?
Compared with a basic low-power adapter, the GC330A36-C4P offers a much higher power rating at 330W (261.1 to 326.4W output range) and includes a high power factor (PF>0.95), 93.5% typical efficiency, and multiple safety approvals. It is also designed as a battery charger with a two-color LED charging-status indicator. That makes it a stronger fit for higher-demand professional applications rather than light-duty consumer electronics.
What certifications and warranty does this model include?
The spec sheet lists safety approval to UL62368-1, TUV BS EN/EN62368-1 and EAC TP TC 004. EMC compliance includes BS EN/EN55032 Class B, FCC Part 15 / CISPR22 Class B and CAN ICES-3(B). The spec sheet does not state a warranty period, so please confirm warranty terms before purchase.
