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 main use case for the Mean Well GC160A48-R7B?

The GC160A48-R7B is an AC/DC battery charger designed for 54.4V output charging of lead-acid and Li-ion batteries. It delivers up to 160.5W and 2.95A, making it suitable for business use where a compact external charger is needed for compatible 48V-class battery systems of 15 to 45Ah.

What output rating does this charger provide?

This model provides a 54.4V DC output with a rated current of 2.95A. Its rated power is 160.5W, the highest in the GC160 series.

What input range does the GC160A48-R7B support?

The unit supports a universal input range of 85 to 264VAC, and it also accepts 120 to 370VDC. That wide range makes it practical for buyers who need one charger platform for varied mains environments.

Is this model suitable for demanding industrial or field environments?

It is built for a broad operating temperature range of -30°C to +70°C, subject to the manufacturer's derating guidance. The fully enclosed plastic case, free-air convection cooling, and built-in protection features support use in tougher commercial environments.

What protection and efficiency features does this charger include?

The GC160A48-R7B includes protection against short circuit, overload, over voltage, and over temperature. It also features active PFC, no-load power consumption below 1W, and efficiency up to 94%, which helps reduce wasted energy in continuous-use settings.

How does the R7B version differ from other charger variants?

This version uses a 4-pin power DIN output connector (KYCON KPP-4S or equivalent), while the AD1 version uses an Anderson connector. UL1012 approval applies to the AD1 version only, so confirm both the connector and the approvals your equipment requires.

What compliance and warranty details are provided for this model?

The R7B version is listed with TUV BS EN/EN62368-1 safety approval and EAC, with EMC compliance including EN55032 Class B and FCC Part 15 Class B. Mean Well also specifies a 2-year warranty for this charger.
