The PS200 is a 12-Vdc battery with a charge controller. The controller manages amperage and voltage for safe, optimized battery charging from a solar-panel or AC power source. It also measures various input, output, and status parameters to allow close monitoring of the battery during charging and use. The PS200 includes a 12-Vdc lead-acid battery, while the CH200 is for use with a user-supplied battery.
Benefits and Features
- Protects against high-amperage and high-voltage damage to power supply
- Ability to monitor both load and battery current
- Battery reversal protection
- Real-time measurements of charge input voltage, battery voltage, on-board temperature, battery current, and load current
- Two-step constant voltage charging and temperature compensation optimize battery charging and increase the battery’s life
- Allows simultaneous connection of two charging sources (e.g., solar panel, ac wall charger)
