What is this thing ?

[tylerdurden]

Alright I got this thing in a partial trade . It's a industrial battery charger :
Model HBS 1500-48
Input auto selectable duel AC input 100-240v 50/60hz 18a
Output 48v 25a
Manufacture signet systems inc

I understand that it is a battery charger but I don't know what it goes to . For the trade I made it could be a paper weight for all I care
I'm usually pretty good at tracking down strane items but I have no idea about this one. I would have decided it is a golf cart battery charger but its way to big AND has battery terminal hook ups and not a normal golf cart plug.
If anyone can help me out Id appreciate it .
Also I have not real use for it so wil probably be trading it soon

What's the plug look like?

I'm not sure what the plug looks like ( I need to order one that will make this thing work ) that's one of the reasons I need to track down exactly what this thing is . Here are some more pics

I never saw one like that before.

 

[tylerdurden]

I haven't either. The only thing I can find online when I plug in all the info are websites in Korean or Japanese

Smart or electric car charger

That's a standard 20Amp IEC connector.

ya? some information was learning toward that. also a forklift? very strange. might be hard to offload but im not too worried about it. If you or someone you know want to tinker with it let me know.

Golf cart, backhoe, generator or anything with a 48V system. Worth about $75-100 to right person, if it works.
