Can you use a 12 volt battery charger as a power supply?
many portable car battery chargers are designed to also be a supplemental source of 12VDC power, same with those portable air compressors. As long as the polarities match and the power ratings are within the device parameters, technically, it will power the device.
What power charger do I need?
Ultimately, it’s really the amperage that determines how fast a charger will supply power to your device. If you want quicker charging, look for a wall or car charger that delivers 2100 mA of current at 5 volts (or whatever voltage the device you’re trying to charge is specced at).
Can a switching power supply be used as a battery charger?
The output voltage is maintained constant, but the output current is left fluctuating depending on load conditions, which means it cannot be used as a battery charger until you achieve constant current. The power supplies overcurrent protection function will be used.
Is charger a power supply?
In short – a Power Supply is intended to provide a constant voltage to static applications, whereas a Charger is designed to provide a continuously regulated current to mobile devices, which have an integrated Battery.
Can a battery charger power a winch?
You might be able to use an older style charger but usually they’re only 10-15 amps and that’s probably way to low to move a winch. If you had a car battery and the charger it’ll work fine.
What is the difference between adapter and Charger?
In a nutshell, an adapter takes one voltage and converts it to another (often lower) voltage (often changing it from AC to DC in the process). A charger takes a given voltage and uses it to charge a battery.
Is a power adapter the same as a charger?
Although they seem to serve the same purpose, an adapter and a charger are two different electronic accessories that can sometimes work together. An adapter is something that is used to charge a charger, while a charger is used to charge an electronic item such as a phone or a laptop.
What is RC power supply?
An RC power supply is needed to power your RC battery charger/s. They basically convert AC voltage & current from a household outlet to clean and steady DC voltage & current to power your RC battery charger.
What is a portable device charger?
A portable charger is a device that you carry with you to charge your phone when you need to. Without having to plug it into an outlet. Thank you for sharing your answer about what is a portable charger. Simple but right.
