| 12 | == Basic Specs == |
| 13 | |
| 14 | * Provide +5V at 4.5A, -12V at 0.2A and +12V at 0.2A from batteries for 2-3 hours. |
| 15 | * Provide a shielded enclosure to hold one VME module, with an appropriate (separate?) enclosure for |
| 16 | the batteries |
| 17 | * AC-powered charger for the batteries |
| 18 | |
| 19 | Suggest starting with a 6V battery (i.e Power-sonic [http://www.power-sonic.com/site/doc/prod/78.pdf PS-6580] battery, and using an LDO regulator built with i.e. LT1575 controller and i.e. IRL3303 HEXFET. See [http://ohm.bu.edu/~hazen/DataSheets/LinearTech/AppNote69.pdf Linear Tech App note 69] |
| 20 | |
| 21 | The +/-12V could come directly from power-sonic PS-1223 (2.3AH 12V) batteries. |
| 22 | |
| 23 | Charging notes on PS-6580: |
| 24 | |
| 25 | ''''Cycle Applications''': Limit initial current to 17.4A. Charge until battery voltage |
| 26 | (under charge) reaches 7.20 to 7.35 volts at 68°F (20°C). Hold at 7.20 to 7.35 |
| 27 | volts until current drops to under 580mA. Battery is fully charged under these |
| 28 | conditions, and charger should be disconnected or switched to “float” voltage. |
| 29 | |
| 30 | “Float” or “Stand-By” Service: Hold battery across constant voltage source of |
| 31 | 6.75 to 6.90 volts continuously. When held at this voltage, the battery will seek its |
| 32 | own current level and maintain itself in a fully charged condition. |
