Overview

The PS150 is a 12 Vdc power supply that includes a rechargeable 7 Ah valve-regulated lead-acid (VRLA) battery and charging regulator. Charging power for these charging regulators is typically supplied by an unregulated solar panel, AC/AC transformer, or AC/DC converter.

The PS150 are smart chargers that provide charging with temperature compensation for optimal charging and battery life. A maximum power point tracking algorithm is incorporated for solar inputs to maximize available solar charging resources.

Battery Charging

FLOAT Charging: Vbatt(T) = 13.65−(24 mV) x (T−25) + (0.24 mV) x (T−25)²

Where T is temperature in degrees Celsius ±1% accuracy on charging voltage ove the -40° to +60°C range

Accuracy: ±1% accuracy on charging voltage over -40° to +60°C
