As a power supply, the BAT 55 has a virtually noise-free, nominal 13.4 volt DC output as recommended by most vehicle manufacturers for ECU reprogramming. As a battery charger, the BAT 55 delivers current up to the rated value for charging any 12 volt lead-acid battery when voltage is low due to discharge. Once the battery reaches a full charge, the BAT 55 automatically senses the battery condition and reduces current, operating as a regulated power supply.
Multiple protection features for a long, trouble-free life:
Reverse battery polarity protection via replaceable fuses
Brownout input protection
Over-current protection; cycle-by-cycle peak limiting and rated current-limiting to maximize the life of the converter
Advanced switch-mode design
Provides a cleaner, more reliable power source than standard battery chargers
Fully-regulated DC output prevents overcharging of the battery and precisely maintains the necessary battery voltage during complex service and reprogramming
Over-temperature protection
Quiet, small, and compact for portability
Commercial design and heavy-duty internal components ensure years of continuous use
High quality, detachable cables for easy field service
Protective carrying case for storage or during use
