PFC-50 / 75 BATTERY

CHARGER MANUAL

Rev 2.1

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. The PFC-50, PFC-50B

and PFC-75 are all power factor corrected. The PFC-75 comes standard with an AC

input current display and rear panel mount Anderson Power Pole connections. 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. Even the venerable PFC-

75 can easily run at reduced output from a 110 volt source. 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).
