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 is the output rating of the Mean Well GC220A48-R7B?
The GC220A48-R7B is rated for 217.6W output with a 54.4V DC output and 4A continuous output current. This makes it a higher-power battery charger in Mean Well's GC220 series. The model is designed for applications that need a 54.4V charging output rather than lower-voltage charger variants.
What kind of input power does the GC220A48-R7B accept?
This model accepts a universal AC input range of 90 to 264VAC, and it also supports 127 to 370VDC input. That wide input range makes it suitable for use across different standard mains environments. It also includes built-in active PFC as listed in the product specifications.
Is the GC220A48-R7B suitable for portable charging use?
This model is a compact battery charger measuring 210 x 85 x 46 mm and weighing 1.1 kg, in a fully enclosed plastic case with free air convection cooling. It includes a 1000mm (±50mm) UL2464 16AWG 4C output cable and a 4-pin power DIN DC connector (KYCON KPP-4S or equivalent), which suits use where a compact enclosed unit is preferred.
What protection features are built into the GC220A48-R7B?
The GC220A48-R7B 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. Over-voltage protection shuts down the output and requires re-powering to recover.
Can the GC220A48-R7B be used in demanding temperature conditions?
This charger has a specified working temperature range of -30°C to +60°C, subject to the derating curve. That gives it a broad working temperature range. Buyers should still confirm that their actual ambient conditions stay within the stated specification.
How efficient is the Mean Well GC220A48-R7B?
The GC220A48-R7B is specified with a typical efficiency of 93% and no-load power consumption below 1W. Higher efficiency can help reduce wasted energy and heat during operation. For a charger in this power class, those figures are a meaningful part of the model's differentiation.
What approvals and warranty come with the GC220A48-R7B?
The datasheet states a 2-year warranty for the GC220A48-R7B. Its safety approvals are TUV (BS EN/EN62368-1), CB, FCC, CE, UKCA and EAC; UL1012 applies to the GC220Axx-AD1 models only, not to this R7B version. EMC compliance includes BS EN/EN55032 Class B, FCC Part 15 Class B, and related EN61000 standards.
