Battery powered switches - Which charger?
Posted: Tue Apr 24, 2018 4:15 pm
Hi,
70+ netonix switches so far - powering lots of our 700 antennas. And we love em.
However. We're using massive 110VA 'leisure' gel deep charge batteries - monsters - and we're having difficulty sourcing a decent charger for them. We've blown up a few so far. The winner (so far) is a Halfords car battery charger - which lasted 8 weeks. But. There has to be better ones on the market?
All our sites are AC powered, but with 'flaky' rural supplies. Sticking in a mahuuusive battery will give us the 3+ hours we need to survive power outages.
Which charger are folks using? Is there anything on the market that'll accept solar panels too?
I found this: http://www.digital-loggers.com/poe24.html (which *has* to be the funniest video out there. I mean. KKK. Terrorists. Innuendo. It has it all ;) )
Is there a UK/Jockanese distributor for these that folks know of?
(We're trying out three battery switches - 2 8 port DC's and one 12 port DC - and we'd love to get them into the field. But till we find a decent charger we can trust...)
Many thanks,
