Delta-Q begins full production of its 3.3kW battery charger

Delta-Q Technologies (Delta-Q), a leader in battery charging solutions for electric vehicles and industrial equipment, has announced that its mid-power charger, the XV3300, is now in full-scale production. With its 3-in-1 design, this efficient charging system integrates a 3.3kW battery charger, a 500W DC-DC converter to power the vehicles’ auxiliary loads, and an EV charging station interface. These key features, encased in a ruggedised IP67 design, provide OEMs with a package, which could simplify electrification of their off-road applications.

“No other 3.3 kW charger on the market also includes a DC/DC converter for auxiliary DC loads and an EVSE charging interface in such a compact size,” says Mourad Chergui, senior product manager, at Delta-Q. “As we start full-scale production, we can begin to fulfil the substantial demand we received since we first announced the initial development.”

The 3.3 kW charging solution is available in 58.8, 65, and 120-volt DC models and is scalable, allowing OEMs to stack up to three chargers for power levels up to 10kW. The XV3300 uses complex algorithms to deliver a precise charge to batteries of various chemistries and voltages, maximising battery life and optimising charge time.

Key features and benefits of the XV3300 charger include: high reliability; enhanced protection; flexible power options; integrated dc-dc converter and EV charging station interface.

The XV3300 is compact, rugged, and IP67-rated. It is tested for automotive-grade shock and vibration. Its fully sealed aluminium die-cast enclosure protects the charger from dust, liquids, and the effects of immersion in up to 1m of water.

The XV3300 is a low-voltage charger that optimally charges all battery chemistries and nominal voltages between 48V to 120V. It is also protected against short circuits, over-voltage, and over-temperature to ensure safe operation.

The charger is scalable and can be paralleled to provide between 3.3kW to 10kW of power for faster-charging options. The charger is also available as an on-board and off-board charger, providing OEMs with additional flexibility.

It provides auxiliary power to operate vehicle accessories such as air-conditioners, controllers, lights, turn signals, navigation, and communication devices. It also eliminates the need for an external DC-DC converter, saving OEMs and equipment operators space and cost.

The XV3300 complies with SAE J1772 (levels 1 and 2) and IEC 61851 (modes 2 and 3) to charge from standard EVSE AC charging stations across North America and Europe. This feature provides end-users more charging options and greater vehicle flexibility.
