Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What floor scrubber models does the FAC170-2440 battery charger fit?
A: The FAC170-2440 is designed specifically for Factory Cat floor scrubber models MicroMag, MiniMag-C, and MiniMag-D. Cross-reference part numbers include FC170-2440, FC 170-2440, 1702440-XX-M, and OEM number 170-2440. Verify SB50 red connector compatibility on your specific unit.
Q: What are the electrical specifications of the FAC170-2440?
A: The FAC170-2440 outputs 24VDC nominal at 12A continuous rated output. Input is 110VAC, 60Hz single-phase. SCR regulation maintains stable output voltage and prevents battery overcharging. Verify input power supply matches 110VAC before connecting.
Q: How do I know if the FAC170-2440 battery charger is functioning properly?
A: A functioning charger delivers steady 24VDC and 12A output with no arcing or excessive heat at the SB50 connector. Check connector pins for corrosion, measure voltage under load, and monitor charge times. Replace the charger if output voltage drops below 23VDC or current falls below 10A.
Q: What is the expected lifespan of the FAC170-2440 charger?
A: Under continuous duty at rated 12A output, the FAC170-2440 typically lasts 5-7 years. Failure results from capacitor degradation, SCR heat stress, and transformer fatigue. Replace immediately if output becomes unstable, charging times increase significantly, or SB50 connector shows arcing.
Q: Are there compatible replacement chargers for the FAC170-2440?
A: Direct OEM replacements include 170-2440, FC170-2440, and FC 170-2440. Verify 24VDC 12A continuous output rating and SB50 red connector type before substituting any aftermarket charger. Non-standard voltage or amperage damages the battery and control system.
