Midtronics PSC-550S KIT PSC Series Power Supply / Battery Charger with Soft Protective Carrying Case

Description

Midtronics PSC Power Supply Chargers provide clean, reliable power for charging and maintaining battery state-of-charge. These chargers/maintainers are designed for use during service reflashing, complex maintenance, or on the showroom floor where vehicle demonstrations can make significant demands the battery. In power supply mode, the PSC converts 120 volt AC line input into a virtually noise-free, nominal 13.4 volt DC output. In battery charger mode, the PSC delivers current up to the rated value for charging any voltage-depressed 12 volt lead-acid battery. Once fully charged, the PSC detects battery condition and tapers current output to to sustain accessory loads or offset any parasitic drain.

Product Features

Advanced switch-mode design
Provides a cleaner, more reliable power source than using a standard charge
Fully-regulated DC output prevents overcharging of the battery and provides precise control to maintain the necessary battery voltage during complex service and reflash
Multiple protection features for a long, trouble-free life:
Reverse battery polarity protection via replaceable fuses
Brownout input protection
Over-current protection; cycle-by-cycle peak limiting and rated current-limiting to maximize the life of the converter
Over-temperature protection
Quiet, small, and compact for portability
Commercial design and heavy-duty internal components ensure years of continuous use
Unique proportional fan control circuit
Sets the fan speed directly proportional to the converters internal ambient temperature
Enables the fan to turn on and off very slowly, minimizing unwanted fan-starting noise
High quality, detachable cables for easy field service
Optional protective carrying case for storage or during use
