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 output rating of the Mean Well GC160A12-AD1?

The GC160A12-AD1 is rated for 13.6V output at 10A, with a 136W power rating. This makes it suitable for charging lead-acid or Li-ion batteries, with a recommended battery capacity of 60 to 160Ah.

Is the GC160A12-AD1 designed as a portable charger?

It is a standalone battery charger in a fully enclosed plastic case with free air convection cooling and an IEC320-C14 AC inlet. Its compact 175 x 72 x 35 mm size and 0.77 kg weight make it easy to handle and move.

What input voltage range does the GC160A12-AD1 accept?

The GC160A12-AD1 accepts a universal AC input range of 85 to 264VAC and also supports 120 to 370VDC input. This full-range input helps it work across different mains power environments.

What protection features are included in the GC160A12-AD1?

This model includes short circuit, overload, over voltage, and over temperature protection. Overload protection operates at 90 to 110% of rated output power with constant current limiting and auto-recovery, while over voltage protection shuts down the output until power is cycled.

Can the GC160A12-AD1 be used in demanding temperature conditions?

The specified operating temperature range is -30°C to +70°C, subject to the derating curve. That makes it a practical option for industrial and commercial environments where ambient temperatures may vary significantly.

How efficient is the Mean Well GC160A12-AD1?

The GC160A12-AD1 has a typical efficiency of 89% and no-load power consumption below 1W. These characteristics help reduce wasted energy compared with less efficient charger and power supply designs.

What compliance and warranty details are listed for the GC160A12-AD1?

The AD1 version is listed with UL1012, TUV BS EN/EN62368-1 and EAC approval, and EMC compliance including EN55032 Class B and FCC Part 15 Class B. It also comes with a 2-year warranty.
