Overview
The CH100 is a charging regulator for 12-V rechargeable batteries. This regulator provides built-in temperature compensation to optimize battery performance. It is commonly used when a rechargeable battery is required for the application and the PS150 or PS12LA power supply (7 Ahr) does not contain enough reserve amp-hours for the power supply budget.
Key Advantages
Technical Description
The CH100 regulator connects the BP12, BP24, or other sealed rechargeable battery to an external charging source (e.g., solar panel, wall charger). The circuitry of the CH100 is similar to the PS100, but the CH100 does not include a rechargeable battery. The rechargeable battery must be capable of accepting recharge from a trickle-charge source.
The CH100 controls the current flowing to the battery and prevents the battery current from flowing to the charging source.

12 Ah 12 V Sealed Rechargeable Battery with Mounts
The BP12 battery pack has a 12 Ah rating and can power a Campbell Scientific system that has components that have above-average power requirements, such as satellite transmitters.
OrderableA100
Null Modem Adapter for Rechargeable Power Supplies
The A100 adapter is used with the CH100 to provide a null modem connection. The null modem ports allow two modems to "talk" to each other without a datalogger in between. This functionality is required in a station where a datalogger will not be present, such as a phone-to-RF base station.
Please note that only one A100 or A105 can be used at a time.OrderableBP24
24 Ah 12 V Sealed Rechargeable Battery
The BP24 battery pack has a 24 Ah rating and can power a Campbell Scientific system that has components that have above-average power requirements, such as satellite transmitters.

12 V Terminal Expansion Adapter for PS1X0/200 or CH1X0/200
The A105 adapter connected to the CH100 provides four additional 12 V terminals and four additional ground terminals. The extra terminals may make it easier for the customer to wire multiple continuously powered 12 Vdc devices to the power supply.
Please note that only one A100 or A105 can be used at a time.Orderable15988
