BC1205
12 Volt, 5 Amp Battery Charger
The DSEBC1205 and DSEBC2405 are 12 V and 24 V, 5 A switched-mode battery chargers with adjustable charging voltages, making them suitable for multiple different battery chemistry types. The battery charger output is adjusted via a potentiometer and is mounted direct to a chassis or onto DIN rail for ease of integration and installation. There are also LEDs mounted to the battery charger to indicate current charger status and on the DSEBC1205-02 / DSEBC2405-02 variants, battery connection status.
The battery charger has no moving parts, delivering additional durability and reliability, and continues to operate when the engine is running.
