SAE ARP 1816D:2015 PDF Download

SAE ARP 1816D:2015 is a standard that provides descriptions and specifications for three types of battery chargers used in Ground Support Equipment (GSE). The first type is the Conventional Charger, which is capable of recharging a completely discharged battery within approximately 8 hours. The second type is the Opportunity Charger, which can charge a battery slightly faster than a conventional charger. The third type is the Fast Charger, which has the ability to charge a battery at a significantly faster rate than a conventional charger.

The standard specifies recommendations that apply to all types of chargers and addresses issues such as safety, performance, and technical requirements. It sets guidelines for designing and manufacturing GSE battery chargers that meet industry standards. The purpose of this standard is to ensure the reliability and efficiency of battery chargers used in GSE, promoting the safe and effective operation of electrically powered ground support equipment.
