Battery charger identifies up to 12 cells

Powersolve has announced an intelligent battery charger that can automatically detect and charge up to 12 NiMH or NiCD cells.

The PSCH15 Smart Charger can identify from two to 12 cells in series and provide the necessary output to fully charge the cells and then turn itself off.

Output voltage, which varies depending on load, is from 2.4 to 14.4V and output current is from 500mA to 1A.

Safety ground leakage current is less than 0.5mA.

Over-voltage and short-circuit protection is standard as is protection against reverse polarity.

An LED status indicator confirms standby, charging and fully charged states.

The PSCH15 features a universal AC input and incorporates an IEC320 C8 two-pin AC input connector.

Powersolve can supply a variety of optional DC output connectors to suit specific needs.

Housed in a compact desk top plastic enclosure measuring 96mm x 44mm x 30mm, the PSCH15 has an operating temperature range of 0 to 40C.

It also complies with all relevant international safety standards as well as EMC compliance to EN55022 B, CISPR 22 B and FCC Part 15 B.
