Design Features

 

Power Factor Corrected

AC input runs from 100-240v, allowing for worldwide operation without any voltage selection switch, and features a 0.99 power factor which will please your utility grid too.

 

Benefits

 

 

 

 

Designed in Canada

The engineering and design team behind the satiator are avid ebike users with years of experience in electric vehicle technology. This product is the charger they always wished they had, and we hope you feel the same way too.

 

 

 

For OEM and Businesses

In addition to electric bike enthusiasts, this charger is of great value to ebike businesses that need to manage a range of battery packs, and for oems wanting to distinguish their vehicle with a rugged and modern full featured charger.

Certifications

This device is CSA, UL, and CE listed, meaning it has passed rigorous safety and reliability tests, and can be legally resold in most jurisdictions.

Cables and Connectors

The Satiator uses the common IEC connector for the AC input, which is the familiar plug used on computers and many other devices. We have plugs available for the North American, European, UK and Australian/NZ standards, or plug adapters can be used for other countries.

 

The DC output is connectorized via the waterproof Singatron 2ct3002-w03400 jack. Each Satiator includes a 1m long DC ouput cable that is terminated in a 3-pin male XLR plug. This is a fairly common connector for ebike battery packs, and is used by Allcell and eZee batteries as well as many turn-key electric bikes and scooters.  Pin 1 (white wire) is V+, Pin 2 (black wire) is Gnd, and Pin 3 (yellow wire) is for both temperature sensing (with NiCad/NiMH packs) and communications. 

 There are a host of optional adapter cables from this 3-pin XLR standard to other connector types that can be included with the purchase: 

XLR to Anderson	An XLR to Anderson adapter converts the power leads to a pair of red and black Anderson powerpoles, allowing you to charge a battery via this connector which is commonly used on the pack's discharge wire.
XLR to XT60	An XLR to to XT60 adapter, commonly used with RC style battery packs. We have this available both with male and female XT60 plugs as there does not seem to be a consistent gender standard used by battery vendors.
XLR to DC	An XLR to DC jack allows the Satiator to charge most frame mounted batteries, like the common "shark" or "dolphin" packs. While the 5.5 x 2.5mm DC plug used on our adapter is rated for 7 amps, most of the DC jacks used on these batteries are of low quality and should generally not be used at more than 4 - 5 amps of current.
XLR to Rosenberger	This XLR to Rosenberger adapter cable uses the straight version of the Rosenberger plug and has one of the signal pins connected to a 5V supply, making it compatible with Specialized ebikes and other factory ebikes using the Brose based drive system. The right angle version of the Rosenberger plug does not fit inside the charge port cavity of the Specialized battery enclosure.
XLR to RCA	The RCA style plug is commonly used on older generation rear rack mounted batteries such as those sold by Golden Motors. Like the DC jack, it is not a connector style commonly associated with high currents, so care should be excersized when using this at more than 4 - 5 amps.
XLR to 4 pin XLR	The 3 pin to 4 pin XLR adapter cable is specfically made for the Juiced Riders ODK cargo ebikes. These batteries use a 4 pin plug, but simply double up on the pins so that there are two V+ and two Gnd pins. The new 2017 battery series from Juiced are compatible with full 8A charge currents.
XLR to ST3	An XLR to ST3 adapter allows the Satiator to charge the majority of the batteries currently offered by Grin. The ST3 connector supports higher currents than the commonly used DC jack.

 

Each of these adapter cables also has a TRS jack on it (commonly used for audio headphones) which allows you to connect the Satiator to a computer using the USB->TTL communications cable. 
 

For those looking to wire their own custom adapter cable with a communication port, both signal lines of the TRS communication plug connect to the signal wire of the Satiator via a 1kOhm resistor, as described in this ES thread post.

Models

At present, we have designed 3 models of the Satiator charger optimized for different voltage ranges all sharing the same great feature set and firmware. The 48V 8A and 72V 5A models are both in full production, while the 24V 15A model is available for samples from interested OEM parties.

Model Name	2415	4808	7205
Max Voltage	36V	63V	103V
Max Current	15A*	8A*	5A*
Typical Batteries	12-24V	24V-52V	36V-84V

*Current also clamped by 360 watt power limit
