Tccharger or other voltage adjustable chargers

[c.wagner]

Did somebody ordered a charger from the official tccharger website?

http://www.tccharger.com/EN/product/13264/list.html

I want an adjustable charger with voltage ranging from atleast 50..120V DC (optionally lower/higher).
And I want the newest version (gen. 4) and not a charger model from 2010

Seems like there no longer is the 1,8kW charger option?!

I wanna create an interface to adjust the voltage/current with a screen.

If somebody got an out of the box adjustable voltage charger, please let me know

Unfortunately it doesn't go as high a voltage as you want, but the Cycle Satiator from Grin Tech has a wide voltage range. It's programmable via it's own screen, or via computer-based setup. Since it's output is isolated from it's input, you should be able to series it with a fixed-voltage charger to bring the voltage range up to what you need when higher voltage is required.

There's no computer interface on them, but the Meanwell LED PSUs are adjustable, some of them via external voltage control inputs (so you could use an MCU/LCD unit with a D/A converter to do the voltage and current adjustments).

I'm sure there are others I don't know about that others will chime in with.



BTW, just because a design is old, doesn't mean it isn't good--it could even be *better* than newer designs, because it might not have gone thru the "cheapening wringer", where companies re-engineer things to be cheaper, and have less margin before failure can be induced. I don't know that is the case with the one you're referring to, but it's common enough.

50V up to 120V, that's more of a spread than I think you're likely to find in a single charger of quality.

Satiators might be series'able?


Mean Wells HLG line with the A suffix for Adjustable

def can put in series as needed to get your voltages

Thank you guys for the input.
If you check their website, one model matches my criteria quite well. This is a CAN enabled OBC (on board charger), so usually a BMS talks to the charger and demands a certain voltage/current. So in order to use it as a standalone charger, I´d have to develop an interface where you can select the type of battery you want to charge.




I looked into the Satiator aswell and it´s a great charger! Just won´t work for my 96V batteries and 5A for the high voltage version is also really low, considering the cost of the Satiator,too.

I messaged tccharger.com multiple times now but don´t get a response. Maybe I just have to order the 3rd generation instead from some reseller..
