GC220 Series 218W AC/DC Battery Charger with Energy Saving Design



In response to the energy saving and environmental friendly requirements of battery charger, MEAN WELL leads the market and launched the new 218W AC/DC battery charger~GC220 series. Possessing very low “no load power consumption” (<1W) and up to 93% of high efficiency, the whole series are real energy-saving at both standby mode and active mode, which could be rated as the most “Green” battery charger in the market. Featuring 2-stage fast charging characteristics, these battery chargers can quickly and efficiently feed your hungry batteries. They are suitable for all kinds of batteries, such as lead-acid battery, Lithium-Mn battery(LiMnO2), Lithium-Fe battery(LiFePO4), and sealed lead-acid gel battery…etc.


Featuring 90~264VAC full range input, GC220 series possess 2-stage charging curve (constant current and constant voltage) and can monitor the battery capacity by detecting the battery voltage. The device can quickly charge the battery at constant current mode in a low battery capacity status. And then, when the battery bank become full, the charger can automatically turn into constant voltage mode with slight charging current to avoid lifetime reduction caused by over-charging.



Using the standard IEC320-C14 inlet as the input connector, GC220 series equip with earth ground pin and enclosed by UL 94V-0 rated plastic case. These Class I units can effectively prevent users from electrical shock and are especially suitable for charging electric scooter, electric bike, and electric wheelchair. Built-in active PFC function, GC220 series can comply with the harmonic requirement per EN61000-3-2 which has been requested by more and more countries in the world. Other standard function / feature includes 2 color LED indicator for charging status, short circuit, over-voltage, and over temperature protections. Furthermore, these chargers acquired global safety/EMC certificates per TUV, UL, CB, CE and FCC which greatly guarantee your safety for all different charging applications such as household appliance, security system, leisure vehicle and office / commercial equipment…etc.
