This keeps the power losses to a minimum and delivers full battery power to the load.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Low Loss PWRgate transfers up to 25 amperes at up to 16 volts dc continuously. It is a safe way to connect both a 12 volt battery and a 13.8 volt power supply to a load, while electrically isolating both from each other. <em>Whenever your power supply is on, the supply feeds the load while also charging the battery, keeping the battery healthy and ready for use when the power supply is off or looses AC power. Switching is instantaneous.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>What type of battery should I use?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Low Loss PWRgate has been designed to use Sealed Lead Acid batteries such as AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat) or GelCell batteries from 7 Amp Hour to 70 Amp Hour capacity.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Yes, there is a built in Float Charger that will keep your battery fully charged and ready.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>LLPG Specifications:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Max voltage: 16 Volts<br \/>\nMax current: 25 Amps<br \/>\nCircuit: Power MOSFET &#8220;OR-gate&#8221; with powerpath controller<br \/>\nMOSFETS: 4 parallel in each path, 53 amp, 35v P-channel<br \/>\nVoltage Drop: 0.020 Vdc at rated output<br \/>\nCharging circuit: Schottky diode and limiting resistor, constant voltage float charger<br \/>\nConnectors: Anderson PowerPoles, 25A,with two output connectors<br \/>\nSize: 3.9 x 2.0 x 0.8 in. ice blue, transparent<br \/>\nCircuit board: double sided, surface mount<br \/>\nWeight: ~3 oz<\/p>\n<p>Price: 49 USD<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/ki0bk.no-ip.com\/~pwrgate\/LLPG\/Site\/Welcome.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Link<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A PWRgate is a simple standby backup power system, it will allow communications equipment to remain operative on battery power during AC power blackouts.
