MBP-3200 Series

The MBP-3200 Series Smart Charger offers the same functionality as both standard LiFePO4 battery chargers (MBP-3205/MBP-3230) combined. Additionally, this charger features a faster charge time, advanced charge status feedback and an expanded input voltage range.

The smart charger is recommended for all military users.

This charger accepts an input voltage range of up to 32VDC. It can be connected to input power with several adapters including 28V NATO Slave cables and the searchlight’s 12V vehicle adapter (MBA-7110).

Charge Time: 100 minutes

    In addition to the charging adapters shown above, the following may be used to connect an MBP-3200 Series Charger to input power:

    • MBA-7110  12VDC Searchlight Vehicle Adapter
    • MBA-7406  28VDC NATO Slave Adapter
    • MBP-5010  100-240VAC 10 Amp Power Supply
    • MBP-5003  100-240VAC 3 Amp Power Supply
  • Use only approved Peak Beam chargers.  Improperly charging a battery may reduce service life and, in extreme cases, may cause the product to flame or leak.

    Warning: Never charge a COLD battery that is cooled below 32°F (0°C). Allow battery to return to room temperature first before connecting it to charger.

    1. Locate the MBP-3200 Smart Charger and compatible charging adapter. Connect adapter to appropriate input power source.
    2. Plug the female end of the charging adapter into the charger’s input connector. Charger LED will turn steady RED when input power is connected.
    3. Connect charger pigtail to battery. Battery will automatically begin to charge.  Charger LED will turn AMBER during charge. LED will pulse GREEN at 99% of charge and turn steady GREEN when charge is complete.  Battery may be disconnected and used at any point during charge, but it is recommended that a full charge cycle be completed periodically to maintain optimum battery health.
