CDU1 Bank Adaptor
This is a complementary product to the MPL50 charger and MPL50-Li charger that manages charging of a bank of up to 5 batteries.
It can be either placed under the MPL50/MPL50-Li charger or situated remotely by use of optional link lead.
Power is provided from the MPL50/MPL50-Li. When a battery is disconnected the unit will turn off power to the output making the leads safe from accidental shorts.
The 5 output connectors are compatible with Traction standard yellow 50 Amp lead sets.
The module input is a red 50 Amp connector. A yellow to red interface lead is provided ensuring correct connection.
The status of each channel is indicated by an LED above each connector.
Units can be daisy-chained allowing up to 17 batteries to be connected simultaneously.
BSU2-50C Battery Support Unit
Provides a stable voltage and up to 50 amps of fully regulated power to prevent loss of charge and damage to the battery.
BSU2-50C can be used with any 12V automotive battery including AGM, GEL and lithium.
This unit closes the contacts on lithium batteries.
Provides a constant voltage to prevent loss of data and possible damage to control units during software updates, and module reprogramming as well as diagnostic processes when in a Key On, Engine Off state.
Designed to be wall, ramp or trolley mounted
