General Information

Model PST-N100-24 ROHS ROHS Name 20 cell Ni-Cd/Ni-MH Battery Charger with dT/dt end of charge Detection Type Battery Pack Charger for R/C, Robots, bicycles

Technical Information

Rated input voltage 100-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz (actual 90-264VAC) No. of batteries 20 cell battery packs, 15 cell packs, 16 cell packs, 17 cell packs, 18 cell packs, 19 cell packs. Automatically detects and charges battery packs in this range. 20 cells 24 volts nominal, 40 volts peak during charge 19 cells 22.8V nominal battery voltage 18 cells 21.6V nominal battery voltage 17 cells 20.4 nominal battery voltage 16 cells 19.2V nominal battery voltage 15 cells 18V nominal battery voltage Battery size 3 AH to 20 AH Charging current 2.8 amps trickle less than 100 mA Charger type Ni-Cd/Ni-MH Battery Charger Application R/C Models, robots, bicycles Timeout 8 hours if the charger does not detect a full charge Charging supervision and termination condition dT/dt (0.5°C/minute), -dV >7mV/cell, Tmax>50°C ±2°C or Vmax>1.6 V/Cell   Important note: Due to the erratic charge behavior of NiMH and NiCad batteries when first placed on charge there is a delay of up to 15 minutes before an accurate charge termination can be read. In worst case a battery can be taken off the charger and reattached, and charged for 15 minutes before the "charged" light comes on again. In addition, new packs should be charged and discharged several times before they "settle in" to a predictable charging condition. Input Frequency 50-60 Hz Battery type Ni-Cd/Ni-MH Battery Style Desktop Output power 60W maximum Ripple <100 mA Output options included 3 pin connector standard, others on request This is commonly called a XLR connetor Plug wiring Pin 3 NTC thermistor (yellow/striped wire if the connector is opened) Pin1 Positive charge (brown wire if the connector is opened) Pin 2 Negative charge, thermistor (blue wire if the connector is opened) (Note, over the years the wire colors have changed, but the connector pinout has remained constant.) Thermistor NTC type, 10K and B=3950 Weight 650 grams, 0.65 kg, 1.4 lb Cooling Natural convection, no fan Efficiency >80% at maximum load Size 170 x 71 x 51 mm, 6.7 x 2.8 x 2 inches Environment -10°C to +40°C operating, -40°C to +70°C storage Temperature rise <40°C rise on case under any line voltage and maximum rated load Vibration, Impact 5mm, 50Hz, 600 Seconds, 1 meter drop 3 times Protections Reverse Polarity, Short circuit protection Safety CE marked, Double insulated, indoor use Due to low sales volumes the factory has opted not to renew the following TUV listings based on UL310, IEC335-2-29. The design has not changed. MTBF 10,000 hours by MIL-STD calculation HiPot, ESD Hi-Pot 3000 V, 1 minute, ESD 8000V LED Indications   Power on separate LED Charging Red Charged/Trickle Charging or Idle Green Error (usually reverse polarity or thermistor not connected) Blinking Protections Short circuit protection Reverse polarity protection AC power cord IEC removable 6 foot cord with USA two prong plug
