Onboard charger

Delphi onboard charger is an aftermarket solution for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) and battery electric vehicles (BEV) that converts AC to DC in order to charge the traction battery pack.

Since 2015, Delphi offers a wide range of AC/DC onboard chargers in production that support fast charging for plug-in hybrid and battery electric vehicles. We apply the same technological expertise to our aftermarket onboard chargers for exact OE performance.

What is an onboard charger for an electric vehicle?

Unlike internal combustion engines, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) and battery electric vehicles (BEV) use an electric traction motor to drive the vehicle’s wheels. The onboard charger charges the traction battery pack, and the energy stored in the battery is then used to power the electric motor.

When an electric vehicle is plugged into a household outlet or a level 2 charger, the charging cable pulls alternating current (AC) from the power grid and sends it to the onboard charger. In order to store the electric power in the battery, the onboard charger must then convert AC to direct current (DC).

Additionally, the onboard charger monitors voltage, current, temperature, and state of charge while charging for the safety of the electrical system and the driver.

Resource Highlights

Exposed to heat, dirt and moisture, ABS sensors can often need replacing. Learn how here.

How do I remove the existing ABS sensor?

First, remove the wheel. Then, remove the clip on the arch liner to give access to the connector on the ABS sensor. Now, disconnect the faulty ABS sensor followed by the mounting rubbers. Next, pivot the hub so it’s easier to get to the 10mm securing bolt holding the ABS sensor in place. Remove the bolt, free the sensor from its mounting and remove it.

Do I need to do a visual check of the new part?

We always recommend checking the new part against the old one to make sure that it matches. It’s quick to do and ensures you’re fitting a like-for-like new part. To do this, hold the old and new ABS sensors next to each other. Now check that their heads are identical, also that the electrical connectors have the same pins and locating point.

In what order do I fit the new component?

Start by fitting the electrical connector. Next, secure the cable to the chassis using the clips. You now need to clean the hub for a flush fit. Once you’ve done this, fit the ABS sensor in place. Now, replace the 10mm bolt before resecuring the arch liner. Finally, refit the wheel.
