Replacing a Battery Charger
Replacing a Battery Charger
(OP)
I am working on replacing a battery charger at a hydro site. This my first time working with a battery charger so I am a little confused on how to go about it.
I need find out if I can replace a 130Vdc, 25Adc, 240Vac battery charger with a 130Vdc,35Adc, 240Vac battery charger? The charger is connected to a 125 A DC bus.
My question is what calculations do I need to use in order to compare both charger? Any help would be appreciated.

RE: Replacing a Battery Charger
Be sure to check the sizing of the AC supply as well, especially if you are changing sizes or topologies.
Once you purchase a new charger, there are also several parameters to set based upon the number of cells and the type of battery you are charging.
