We've been using the Tycon 48 volt charge controller in a couple of
places. Early models had some failures, but the later models seem to do
much better. They are only 300 watts, but it doesn't take more than
about 12-14 hours to charge a string of 104 ah batteries. I think
actually quite a lot less than that.

I was simply referring to the time necessary to actually charge the

issue (and it's not in my environment most of the time either). I'm
not sure if there are other problems with using a large string like
that on the BCM - but maybe someone more knowledgeable like George or
Ken can chime in?

Interesting....we have BCM48A and TSP-600 with 4x100ah.
We're not normally getting back to back power outages, so I don't
really care how long the charge time is.
How are we pushing it other than the recharge time? If we're doing
something wrong I really do want to know.

Yeah - I'm not sure the BCMU or BCM is the best solution for that
large of a battery string. If it did work (I guess it probably
would), it would likely take weeks to charge a string of 4x100Ah
batteries. You may want to take a look at Eltek/Emerson or the
new ICT shelf that was recently announced on this list.
The largest string we have on the BCMU is 4x33Ah, and I have even
been told this is pushing it, especially with decent charge times.

How large are your batteries? How large the load?

Hey guys I am completely new to Traco, so am feeling my
way through. It seems like power supply itself is not
relevant. But the BCM is. Someone suggested using a
TSP-BCM24 or TSP-BCM48 instead if I already have 2 or 4
batteries in place,
What say you?

Not sure about the HRP. I've had SDR's running for years now.

PSUI is who we order Traco stuff from. Do you need
360W? The Mean Well SDR-240-48 is an alternative.
That's what I'm using with the Traco BCMU360's. If
you read the fine print, it's worthless to put 360W
behind the BCMU. They're rated 240W continuous and
360W for 3.5 minutes. And the SDR-240 is ~$70 vs
~$270 for the TSP360.
If you really need it, there's the SDR-480-48, which
is only 1/2 the price of a TSP360.
