PS200/CH200 12 V Charging Regulators
Physical Specifications
PS200: 10.6 cm (4.2 in) tall, 19.3 cm (7.5 in)
long, 7.6 cm (3 in) wide
CH200: 10.0 cm (3.9 in) tall, 7.5 cm (3 in) long,
3.7 cm (1.5 in) wide
1. Battery voltages below 8.7 V may result in < 3.0 A current limit because of
foldback current limit.
2. Cycle and Float charging voltage parameters are programmable with the
default values listed.
3. VRLA battery manufacturers state that “heat kills batteries” and recommend
operating batteries
≤ 50°C.
4. Impulse type changes in current may have an average current error of
±(10% of reading + 2 mA).
5. 1.0 V negative offset is worst-case due to reversal protection diode on input.
Typical diode drop is 0.35 V.
6. 2.0 V negative offset is worst-case due to two series diodes in AC full-
bridge. Typical diode drops are 0.35 each for 0.7 V total.

* Battery specifications shown are from the manufacturer. The PS200/CH200
contains charging algorithms that optimize battery charging over the range of
–40°C to +50°C. Battery usage outside of manufacturer specifications could
have unknown effects on the life of the battery.
Battery life is shortened if the battery is allowed to
discharge below 11.5 V. WARNING
