Existing-System Assessment
We review available charger information, battery details, site supply, DC load, alarm requirements and physical installation constraints.
Legacy Charger Replacement & Upgrade
CBC4 Battery Charger Replacement
Engineered replacement and upgrade solutions for existing CBC, CBC4 and CBC-4 industrial battery charger installations.
Discuss Your CBC4 ReplacementReplacing a Legacy CBC or CBC-4 Charger?
Dimtronics can assess an existing industrial DC charging installation and engineer a modern replacement solution around the site's battery system, electrical requirements, alarms, monitoring and enclosure constraints.
Engineered Replacement
A replacement charger can be configured around the required DC voltage, charging current, battery chemistry, enclosure and monitoring functions.
Modern Controls
Modern indication, alarms and communications can be incorporated where required while preserving practical operation for maintenance teams.
Industrial Construction
Robust transformer-based and other industrial charger architectures can be selected to suit critical standby DC applications.
Retrofit Support
Where practical, replacement systems can be designed around existing cabling, battery banks, switchboards and installation footprints.
Australian Engineering Support
Dimtronics provides local technical support from specification and design through manufacture, installation assistance and long-term service.
CBC4 / CBC-4 Replacement Planning
What We Need to Match Your Existing Charger
Legacy charger replacements should be specified around the actual installation rather than model name alone. If you have a CBC4 or CBC-4 charger, send us the available nameplate details, drawings, photographs and battery information.
- AC input supply and phase configuration
- Nominal DC system and battery voltage
- Required charger output current
- Battery chemistry and capacity
- Float, boost or equalise requirements
- Existing alarms, contacts and remote monitoring
- Cabinet dimensions and cable entry arrangement
- Environmental and site requirements

CBC4 Replacement Questions
Common questions when planning replacement of an existing industrial battery charger.
Can Dimtronics replace a CBC4 charger?
Dimtronics can engineer a replacement solution around the electrical and mechanical requirements of the existing installation. Final suitability depends on the actual charger, battery system and site requirements.
Do I need the original CBC4 manual?
No, but any original manual, schematic, nameplate photo or site drawing is useful. Where documentation is limited, we can begin with the available electrical ratings and installation details.
Can the new charger use the existing battery bank?
Potentially, provided the replacement is correctly specified for the battery chemistry, nominal voltage, capacity and charging requirements.
Can alarms and remote monitoring be retained?
Existing alarm and monitoring requirements can be reviewed and incorporated into the replacement design where technically appropriate.
Need to Replace a CBC4 or CBC-4 Charger?
Send us a photo of the existing charger nameplate together with the battery voltage, charger current and any available drawings. Our engineering team can review the installation and discuss a suitable replacement approach.
