PG40S Description

  • A PWRgate is a 12 volt backup power system that can supply up to 40 amperes continuously from either a power supply or a battery.
  • It safely charges the battery with a built in high performance charger.
  • Connected equipment will instantly switch to battery during a power blackout or power supply failure. No glitches.
  • The circuit uses two 80 ampere Schottky diodes as an OR-Gate to isolate the battery and power supply from each other. Forward voltage drop of less than 0.3 volts at 20 A.
  • To keep the battery fully charged and ready for use, the PWRgate has a built-in four-stage battery charger with selectable maximum charge rate of 1, 4, 7 or 10 amperes.
  • The charger is optimized for use with GELLED & AGM type batteries, but will keep automotive and marine flooded lead acid type batteries near full charge as well.
  • The PWRgate and the power supply may also be used to charge a battery that is powering 12 volt equipment
