KOP 2300 charger

[leekuhlke63]

Has anyone used  the 2000w rapid charger?  It connects to 110v US.

Lee,

I have the new rapid charger that connects to US electric.  It does charge faster when my batteries have been discharged alot, however the end of charge rate/time is about the same as the 600w charger.

It required a firm ware upgrade for each battery and that was a project for me as I'm not intuitively technical.  I followed the instructions and upgraded fine.  I carry the charger in my Motorhome and it is nice not to carry that heavy transformer and two 600w chargers.  I just carry the one rapid charger and it works great!!

Ni Jeff, 

Does your new US electric charger require a 30A distribution system or can it handle a lesser amount?   Specifically:  Will it work in your Motorhome with less than a 30A connection?

Dear FES owners,

You can find manual of FES KOP2300 charger here:

http://front-electric-sustainer.com/Manuals/FES%20KOP2300%20Charger%20manual%201.1.pdf

In section 3.1 you can find information regarding required current:

3.1 Mains current limiter
The mains current is limited to max. 13 A for 230 V systems and to max. 16 A for 120 V
systems. FES KOP2300 automatically detects the mains voltage.
Comment: For 230 V mains voltage and full output power the charger needs approx. 10.5
A from the socket. At low mains voltage, the mains current would increase at the same
power, but this would be reduced to max. 13 A. In the short term, the current can also be
somewhat higher than 13 A in the case of very fast mains voltage fluctuations.
If the mains voltage drops below approx. 90 VAC, the KOP2300 charger is switched off.
After the mains voltage rises again, the charging is restarted where it was interrupted.
Note: Before using the charger, check that the fuse on the grid is suitable.
For 2300 W charger it should be minimum 16 A fuse (for 230 V grid) or
minimum 20 A (for 110 V grid). Always try to connect charger directly to
inlet, without extension cables and splitters.
Warning: If you have another pair of Battery pack, make sure that you do
not mix packs between the two sets. The same two packs of one set (first
marked as A, second marked as B) must be always used in pair!

Regards,

Luka
