PFC-20/30/40 SERIES
BATTERY CHARGER
MANUAL rev 1.1
General Overview
The Manzanita Micro PFC chargers are a unique group of powerful, efficient battery
chargers. The chargers will run off any voltage from 100 up to 240 volts AC. The
chargers can be set to run automatically when plugged in, yet they also have far more
user adjustable functions than other electric vehicle chargers. Every model is user
adjustable to charge batteries from 12 to 450 Volts DC. All the chargers are power
factor corrected and are available with enhanced options such as an AC input current
display. With so much flexibility and models from 20 to 75amps, your PFC charger may
be the last charger you ever need to buy.
Speed and Efficiency
The essential ingredient for fast recharge times is to deliver high power to the battery.
The key to polite opportunity charging is to be able to share outlets with other
equipment and make efficient use of limited current. The Manzanita Micro PFC line of
chargers has an adjustable current throttle knob to allow the chargers to be turned
down to operate on very limited power sources. Efficiency and power factor are both
better than 0.9.
What does the PFC mean?
In the Manzanita Micro chargers PFC stands for Power Factor Corrected. This means
that current and voltage are drawn in unity, (ie: current is drawn with unity to the
incoming line voltage).
