Test conditions and notes7
- 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. Constant current operation region is within 50~100% rated output voltage.
- 6. 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 )
- 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 are the main output ratings of the Mean Well GC220A24-AD1?
The GC220A24-AD1 is rated for 217.6W total output power. It provides a 27.2V output at 8A continuous output current, which makes it a higher-power battery charger in Mean Well's GC220 series.
Is the GC220A24-AD1 a battery charger or a power supply?
The datasheet describes this model as a single output battery charger with a 2-stage charging characteristic for lead-acid and Li-ion batteries. Its charging-focused features and charging status LED make it especially relevant for buyer evaluations as a charger.
What input range does the GC220A24-AD1 support?
The unit accepts a universal AC input range of 90 to 264VAC and also supports 127 to 370VDC input. That full-range input makes it suitable for buyers sourcing one charger model for different regions or power environments.
Can the GC220A24-AD1 be used in demanding industrial or commercial environments?
It is built with multiple protections including short circuit, overload, over voltage, and over temperature protection. The operating temperature range is -30°C to +60°C, and the enclosed plastic case uses free air convection cooling, which supports use in a wide range of commercial environments.
How efficient is the Mean Well GC220A24-AD1?
This model has a typical efficiency of 92.5%. It also has no-load power consumption below 1W, which can help reduce standby energy use in applications where the charger is not always actively charging.
What safety and compliance standards are listed for the GC220A24-AD1?
The GC220A24-AD1 is listed with UL1012 (GC220Axx-AD1 only), TUV BS EN/EN62368-1 and EAC TP TC 004 approval. Its EMC standards include BS EN/EN55032 Class B, FCC Part 15 Class B, and multiple EN61000 immunity and harmonic standards.
What physical size and cable details should buyers know for the GC220A24-AD1?
The charger measures 210 x 85 x 46 mm and weighs 1.2 kg. It includes a 1000mm (±50mm) SJTW 14AWG 2C output cable and uses an Anderson DC connector, which can matter when matching it to an existing equipment requirement.
