Modular Universal Battery Charger
Modular Universal Battery Charger
www.thalescomminc.com
The Modular Universal Battery Charger (MUBC) solution is a scalable charging system that charges a wide range of military and commercial
batteries and also provides for the addition of new batteries through software upgradability and an innovative modular design. The base unit
weighs approximately 6 pounds, is small enough to be carried in a ruck sack, and is rugged enough to be vehicle mounted. Multiple MUBC
charging systems can be cascaded without requiring any tools. This system is based on technology from field-proven trials and allows charging
in heavy rain without cover and in other harsh environmental conditions. It is optimized to provide the warfighter with the ability to harvest
power from solar panels and scavenge power from batteries and a variety of other power sources.
The MUBC combines the functions and capabilities of multiple battery chargers into one small, scalable package. It provides battery charging
technology to the warfighter through a highly rugged, field-deployable, multi-battery modular solution for austere mission environments. The
MUBC has a built-in battery test/analyzer function that allows the user to display the “health” of batteries in a matter of seconds.
PERFORMANCE/BENEFITS:
Built-in Battery Test /Analyzer: Performs battery health check with a couple of clicks. MUBC display identifies batteries that have less than
80% capacity
●● Charges Multiple Batteries: Standard configuration allows charging of multiple standard DoD battery types
●● Modular Cup Design: Allows user customization of charging cups for unique and future batteries
●● Operational MIL-STD-810G: What other chargers call misuse, the MUBC considers normal mode of operation. For example, the MUBC allows
charging in inclement weather
●● Power Harvesting: Capable of harvesting energy from solar energy and batteries
●● High Efficiency: >90% efficient when operating from DC sources
●● Vehicle Mounting: Provides a small and light footprint for vehicle installations
●● Fast Charging: Charges AN/PRC-148 batteries in less than 3 hours
●● Scalable: Multiple chargers can be connected to power from a single power source
