Summary: Batteries are not very susceptible to ripple and noise, so many high power battery chargers have limited filtering and put out significant 60 or 120 Hz ripple and noise. Others used pulse charging technology. This causes havoc with systems such as audio systems that would like a nice, clean voltage. This line of chargers are designed to charge a battery at high power, but very quietly.

Suggested Applications: Wherever a high power 48 volt battery charger is used, for example in in Audio Displays, Demo & Show Vehicles Marine & Recreational Vehicles; Battery maintenance & storage, Retail Store Displays, Industrial Applications, Communications (available in 12V , 36V . and 48V output).

These chargers are the famous DLS power supplies with 48V taper charging. The optional APS-IQ4 charge controller allows the DLS charger to operate as an automatic 3-stage “smart charger.” This gives a sophisticated charger with Bulk, Absorption, and Float stage charging, increasing the charging capacity of the APS Power Supply to decrease charge times, insuring proper and safe battery charging and eliminating over-charge. This “intelligent” technology monitors the battery at all times.
Ideally suited for the 48V telecommunication systems. The power supplies feature regulated and filtered outputs which allow for clean power busses without the slightest hint of noise.
In maintenance mode the charger is left connected to the battery. If the voltage remains in the long term stage for more than seven days, the charge controller will automatically deliver a boost charge for a short time, then automatically return to the normal float stage to prevent sulfation.
Virtually Silent Operation. This is a switchmode design using frequencies beyond that of human hearing, there is no low frequency transformer hum. The cooling fan is virtually silent.
The PST-DLS 48V battery chargers all feature thermal control circuitry that engages the fan only when internal temperatures require it (typically 75% of full load). They have small compact sizes compared to the transformer based power chargers. The switch mode technology utilized in DLS power chargers has 86% efficiency. This superior design results in cooler operating temperatures and compact size.

Usage Note: Typical AC outlets are 1540VA, 14 amp service. To run the higher power units you will need higher power service than is typically available in a wall plug. Please consult competent technical authorities to determine the total load on the circuit you intend to supply the power with, including other things plugged into the same circuit.

Maintenance mode: After the 48 volt battery is full the charger goes into a maintenance mode. In maintenance mode the battery is safely floated at 54.2 volts to maintain the battery and replace charge lost due to leakage or self discharge. In addition, if the battery has not received a bulk charge during a seven-day period, the charge controller will switch the APS Power Supply into a pre-programmed equalization stage to top off the batteries, dissolving any sulfate layer on the plates of the battery and avoiding stratification of flooded batteries.
