The Rechargeable Torch Charger Bank RC-205 is a robust and efficient solution for charging multiple torches simultaneously. Designed to accommodate five torches, it adheres to the stringent standards of BS EN 1789:2000 for medical vehicles and equipment, ensuring safety and reliability in critical environments. The thermoplastic enclosure and Class III insulation provide additional safety measures, while the input voltage range of 12-24VDC caters to a variety of power supply scenarios. With a peak current of 7.5A, the charger bank can quickly recharge torches to 90% in just 1.5 hours, and achieve a full charge in 3 hours, which is essential for professionals who rely on their equipment being ready at a moment's notice.
 
The IP20 ingress protection rating indicates that the charger bank is protected against solid objects larger than 12.5mm, but not against water, making it suitable for indoor use. Weighing in at 2.1kg, it is relatively lightweight and can be mounted on a wall, flat surface, or bulkhead, providing versatility in placement. The compatibility with torch models R-30, R-50, and R-55 allows for a range of lighting options to be charged using this single unit.
Installation of the charger bank is straightforward, with linearly adjustable mounting points that offer flexibility in confined spaces. The design minimizes the complexity of electrical connections, promoting a tidy and efficient setup. Constructed from lightweight anodized aluminum with stainless steel and chrome fixings, the charger bank promises durability and a long lifespan.
 
In terms of compliance, the charger bank not only meets but exceeds the shock condition retention requirements of EN1789:2000 6.3.5, withstanding up to 40G as opposed to the standard 15G. This feature is particularly beneficial for in-vehicle applications, where equipment must remain secure and operational despite rough conditions. Additionally, the CE marking signifies adherence to the 2004/108/EC EMC directive, and the charger bank also complies with the 2006/28/EC Automotive EMC directive for emergency vehicles, ensuring it does not interfere with other critical electronic systems.
 
Designed for both indoor and internal vehicle use, the charger bank can be installed in various orientations to suit different spaces and requirements. The torches themselves indicate the state of charge, while the charger base shows the power input status, providing clear and immediate feedback to the user. This level of detail in design and functionality makes the Rechargeable Torch Charger Bank RC-205 a reliable and essential tool for emergency services and other professional settings where dependable lighting equipment is crucial.
