BC-5A-M 12/24V AUTOSELECT 5.0 AMPERES 170-300 VAC BC-5A-M series are state of the art battery chargers featuring very high efficiency and low cost in a compact metallic casing. 

Chargers are designed to withstand high levels of disturbances found in the harsh automotive environment. 

Chargers are practically impossible to destroy, having overload, short circuit, high temperature and reverse battery protections. The overload protection is current limiting type, not hiccup. Hiccup protected chargers will turn-off in case of overload and will be incapable of charging an empty battery with their rated current. In case of a short circuit or overload condition, the BC-5A-M charger does not shut-off, and delivers simply the rated current, allowing a full-speed charge of an empty battery. 

In case of overheating, the charger will automatically reduce its output current and continue normal operation. Chargers offer automatic battery voltage detection. Thus, the same module operates at 12V or 24V without the need of a manual selection, removing human errors. 

BC-5A-M chargers have 170-300V input voltage range, enabling the use in most countries with nominal voltages ranging from 220VAC to 277VAC. The nominal output is fully available at all 170-300VAC range without derating. Chargers offer green mode of operation. 

The green mode consists on reducing the operating frequency when the load decreases. Thus, chargers reduce their losses helping protection of the environment. At very small loads, they enter into a burst mode to reduce the consumption further. Chargers feature very low power consumption at no-load mode, helping again the protection of the environment.
