Meanwell RCB-1600-48 Power

Description

RCB-1600-48 is a single output 1600W AC/DC charger with 1U low profile (41 mm). It is an intelligent charger with embedded charging curves which are programmable. Users are also able to adjust the charging voltage and current via the built-in potentiometer, output programmable functions, PMBus, or CANBus to charge different types of batteries, such as lead-acid batteries and li-ion batteries.
