The DLS-27-15 power converter/battery charger from IOTA Engineering converts nominal 108-132 AC voltage to 27.2 DC voltage for both DC load operation and 24V battery charging.
As a power supply, the unit's tightly controlled regulation allows the user to operate a nominal 24 VDC load up to 15 amps.
As a battery charger, the unit will maintain the battery, delivering its full-rated current when the battery capacity falls sufficiently low. The voltage is set to deliver its maximum current for the necessary period of time to minimize undue stress to the battery caused by heating of its cells. This helps to ensure the longest possible life of the battery. Over time, as the battery nears its full capacity, the DLS-27-15 will automatically drop the current, providing a float-charge to the battery to prevent self-discharge of the cells.
Dual voltage jack
The DLS-27-15 is equipped with a dual voltage jack and dual voltage plug that allows manual switching from a long-term float voltage of 27.2 VDC to 28.4 VDC. When the dual voltage plug is inserted in the jack, the voltage increases to 28.4 VDC for occasional fast charging. When the plug is removed, the voltage drops to 27.2 VDC to reduce battery water loss. The dual voltage jack also allows for easy installation of an external IQ4 smart charger (sold separately) for automatic 3-stage charging (optional). If the unit is equipped with an internal IQ4 smart charger, two-step charging is not needed and the dual voltage jack is disabled.
