CHARGING AND EXTERNAL POWER

A

 Make sure that the input supply voltage of the used charger does not  

exceed 50V.

To charge the BP-500 battery pack, connect a DC 13-50V power supply to the  

DC 5.5×2.5 connector of the pack. The recommended power supply current is 3A.  

V+

5.5 мм 2.5 мм

GND

The BP-500 will not charge if an external power source is connected to the TX-500. 

If the battery pack is active, it will provide backup power if the transceiver's external 

power supply is undervoltage (below battery pack voltage) or if external power is lost.
Solar panel cells can be used as a charging source, providing an output voltage in 

the range of 13 to 50 V.
