Power Products CA 1550 Commercial Aircraft Battery Charger/Analyzer - 4159

This combination portable charger and analyzer is for all types and ratings of Nickel Cadmium sealed or vented Lead Acid aircraft batteries. The flexibility of charge and discharge functions of the CA-1550 CML makes it usable for a wide variety of batteries, and the unit accurately charges and tests 12 or 24 volt lead-acid batteries, as well as nickel-cadmium batteries, from a single cell to 22 cells. The unit comes in a portable protective carrying case.

The CA 1550 Commercial Charger/Analyzer is a portable or bench-mountable self-contained unit for charging and discharging capacity testing aircraft or ground support batteries. It is simple to use and does not require programming or use of a computer. Digital read-outs of volts, amperes and time are clearly displayed. The CA 1550 has been designed to accurately charge, test and guarantee the emergency capacity of sealed or vented lead-acid or nickel-cadmium batteries. Guaranteed emergency capacity is especially important for aircraft batteries.

The charge section of the CA 1550 allows charging at both constant potential or constant current to give maximum flexibility in selection of charge method. The charger has an adjustable charge current from 0 to 25 amperes, and an automatic times to read and/or terminate charge and discharge time.

The discharge section of the CA 1550 enables battery capacity testing with a constant current of 0-50 amperes. The unit automatically measures the battery voltage and passes or fails the battery depending on the battery’s ability to maintain the specified minimum voltage for the pre-settable time, (usually one hour). All meters "freeze" their readings at the end of test and the operator thereby knows the precise ampere hour capacity of the battery. The CA-1550 CML will then recharge the battery after the cap test.
