RAM-GDS-CHARGE-V18U - GDS Hardwire Charger - 24-60V In, 9V Out - DC 5.5mm Barrel

RAM-GDS-CHARGE-V18U GDS® 24-60VDC Hardwire Charger, 9VDC Output, Male DC 5.5mm

RAM-GDS-CHARGE-V18U is a GDS® modular hardwire charger that takes 24-60V DC from an electric forklift, pallet truck or other industrial vehicle and delivers a regulated 9V DC at up to 3.5A through a 5.5mm barrel plug, ready for any RAM® or GDS® DC powered dock that calls for a 9V input.

Key Features

• Built for material handling: the 24-60V input range covers 36V and 48V electric forklift systems.
• Modular design: the power connector unplugs, so changing the device end later does not mean rewiring the machine.
• Properly protected: IP66 sealed, with a 3A inline ATC fuse, 18AWG copper wire, and over-voltage, short circuit and reverse polarity protection.
• Rated for vehicle use: SAE J-1113-5 load dump and moisture resistant, with E-Mark and RCM certification.
• Backed by RAM's three-year warranty.

Works With

Any RAM® or GDS® dock that specifies a 9V DC input on a 5.5mm barrel. Check what your dock actually asks for before ordering, because output voltage is not interchangeable across this range. If the vehicle is a car, truck, van or propane forklift, the same 9V output is available as RAM-GDS-CHARGE-V17U. The rest of the range sits in Chargers and Docks and GDS Tech.

FAQs

What machines is a 24-60V input for? Electric forklifts, pallet trucks, order pickers, sweepers and similar 36V and 48V industrial equipment. For a standard 12V or 24V vehicle, use the 10-32V version instead.

Will it charge a tablet directly? No. It outputs 9V on a barrel plug for a powered dock, not USB. If your device charges over USB, you want one of the USB-C or USB-A chargers instead.
