    Power Gate Battery Backup Automatic DC Power Switching System
    for Repeaters
    What this does is automatically switch your repeater (or any load 13.8 vdc up to 30 amps) from your normal power supply to your battery when the power supply or AC power fails.
    There are some products out there using solid state devices that are subject to losses, heating, failure and cost up to 0!!!
    Why do you think the other guys use a massive heatsink on their solid state product? Because they need to dissipate heat. HEAT = POWER LOSS!
    This system does not suffer from any of those problems.
    FAST SHIPPING! IN-STOCK, we ship same or next business day!
    Designed for 13.8 VDC (11-15 volt type) equipment, such as radios, accessories, lighting, etc
    Maximum current 30 amps can be operated and switched
    Has Anderson Power Poles on BATTERY and LOAD connections, power supply input has wires as shown for easy connection to your power supply.
    Would you prefer some other combination of Power Pole connectors or perhaps ring terminals for one or more of the connections?
    No problem, just do the buy it now and tell me what size bolt for ring terminals (up to 5/16 bolt) and which color wire set (PS, load or battery wires) to have PP or ring or plain wire
    How to use this:
    A typical use would be that you have an Amateur (Ham) radio station that you want to have automatic battery back up switching.
    Connect
    YELLOW
    wire set to YOUR 13.8 VDC power supply DC output (like the Samlex SEC-1235M that we sell here on eBay)
    Connect
    BLUE
    wire set to your load (radios, repeater, etc that run on your 13.8 VDC power supply)
    Connect
    RED
    wire set to 11-15 YOUR battery
    Has mounting tab if you wish to mount it.
    When your power supply fails or AC power fails to your power supply, the relay automatically switches your repeater (radios, etc) to your battery. When AC power to your power supply returns, the relay then switches back to operate your equipment on the power supply as normal.
    Simple, inexpensive and it works! Get two or three for all of your 13.8 VDC up 30 amp needs.
    It's a simple design but lots of work to put together. To make this, we strip 11 wire ends and professionally crimp 4 Anderson Power Poles, insert into the plastic ends and then connect the grounds. You get a lot for .49 including free USA shipping!
    There is no battery charging with this system, most guys prefer their own charging system and we did not add that because we don't know what type of battery you will use. Just use a float charger that is suitable for the battery you are using.
    Personally, I use a cheap Harbor Freight battery charger on my own repeater, available from Harbor Freight Tools.
