Page 9: Introduction
AC/DC converters, it is undesirable for wind turbines because of the resulting free spinning when unloaded. Consequently, series charging regulators, including the PS150/CH150, should not be used to regulate the output of wind turbines without the inclusion of a way to load the turbine when the batteries require little or no charging current. -
Page 10: Precautions And Tips
VRLA battery manufacturers state that “Heat Kills Batteries”. While the PS150/CH150 can operate from –40 to 60 °C, optimum battery life is achieved with battery operating temperatures ranging from 5 to 35 °C , per manufacturer’s recommendations... -

–40 to +71 Concorde Sun Xtender * Battery specifications shown are from the manufacturer. The PS150/CH150 contains charging algorithms that optimize battery charging over the range of –40 to 50 °C. Battery usage outside of manufacturer specifications could have unknown effects on the life of the battery. - Page 19 3.6 Adc. CHARGE/CHARGE terminal blocks have no polarity. Power wires from the charging source can be connected in any fashion. The PS150/CH150 will only float charge a battery with power connected to the CHARGE/CHARGE terminal blocks which is fine when using an AC/DC charging source.

Page 21: Charging Details
Continuous charging input has a maximum value of 1.1 Adc to help protect AC/AC transformers and AC/DC converters. The 3.6 Adc typical current limit of the PS150/CH150 Solar charging input is well suited for 70 W solar panels. Typical Continuous charging inputs would be AC/AC transformers or AC/DC converters in which a charge voltage is continuously applied except for line power outages. -
Page 22: Maximum Power Point Tracking
The ports are used to connect two 9-pin devices (e.g., modems or RF radios) that would normally be connected to the CS I/O port of a Campbell datalogger. The charger supplies 12 Vdc and 5 Vdc to the appropriate pins on the connector for powering the connected devices. -
Page 23: A105 Additional 12 V Terminals Adapter
A105 Additional 12 V Terminals Adapter The A105 adapter adds four 12 V terminals and four ground terminals to a PS150/CH150 charging regulator. The extra terminals make it easier to wire multiple continuously powered 12 Vdc devices to the power supply. -
