EEEBC24V 24V BC-2500 Emergency Battery Charger
Overview
The EEEBC24V 24V BC-2500 Emergency Battery Charger is a portable stationary float battery charger designed to support critical 24VDC battery systems during emergency outages, charger failures, maintenance events, or temporary power restoration needs.
Built on the Eagle Eye BC-2500 platform, this emergency charger combines high-availability charging architecture with the flexibility of a rugged travel case. The result is a durable, field-ready solution that can be transported, shipped, or staged for rapid deployment without requiring a DOT trailer.
The 24V model includes four iPM power modules standard and provides up to 40A of DC output current. Low DC output ripple, high-efficiency operation, conformal coated circuit boards, convection cooling, advanced alarming, and network communication capabilities make it a dependable solution for utility, industrial, UPS, telecom, and critical DC power environments.
With automatic universal single-phase AC input, included DC cables with proprietary strain relief, and support for Ethernet-based alarming and communication, the EEEBC24V helps reduce downtime and makes emergency battery charging less stressful when dependable DC power is needed quickly.
