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 GC160A24-R7B?

The GC160A24-R7B is rated for 160.2W output with a nominal output voltage of 27.2V and rated current of 5.89A. This makes it suitable for charging lead-acid or Li-ion batteries in that output range, with a recommended capacity of 30 to 90Ah.

Is the GC160A24-R7B intended to be used as a battery charger or a power supply?

The datasheet describes this model as a battery charger for lead-acid (flooded, Gel and AGM) and Li-ion batteries. Its 2-stage charging characteristic (constant current, then float charging at constant voltage) and red/green charging-status LED are built around battery charging use.

What input voltage range does the GC160A24-R7B accept?

The GC160A24-R7B accepts a universal AC input range of 85 to 264VAC, and it also supports 120 to 370VDC input. That wide input range helps it work across many regional power environments without needing a separate input-specific version.

What connector type does the GC160A24-R7B use on the DC output side?

This model uses a 4-pin power DIN DC connector (KYCON KPP-4S or equivalent) in the R7B configuration. Buyers who need that specific plug style should verify that their equipment matches the R7B connector format before purchase.

Can the GC160A24-R7B be used in demanding temperature conditions?

The specified working temperature range is -30°C to +70°C, with reference to the derating curve. That gives it a broader operating range than many general indoor-only adapters, but performance at higher temperatures should be considered within the stated derating guidance.

What protection features are included in the GC160A24-R7B?

The GC160A24-R7B includes short circuit, overload, over-voltage, and over-temperature protection. Its 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 and requires re-powering to recover.

What are the physical size and cable details of the GC160A24-R7B?

The enclosure measures 175 x 72 x 35 mm, and the unit weight is listed as 0.7 kg. The output cable length is 120 cm and uses UL2464 18AWG 4-conductor cable.

What makes the GC160A24-R7B different from a basic desktop power adapter?

Compared with a basic adapter, this model adds features aimed at industrial and battery-charging use, including active PFC, 92.5% typical efficiency, 2-stage charging behavior, and a 4-pin power DIN output connector. It also includes Class I grounding, low no-load power consumption under 1W, and charging-status LED indication.
