TI1550-12-24-UAV GPU

Features:

The TI1550-12-24-UAV GPU has been designed as a stand-alone 

source of dc power for ground support systems and maintenance 

operations.  Using a single 120 Vac power source, it will provide both 

12 Vdc and 24 Vdc.  For starting UAV aircraft, the 12 Vdc output can 

deliver up to 1500 peak amps. 

Power Anytime, Anywhere

MADE IN USA

12 VDC Output:

1500 peak starting amps

 

20 amps continuous @ 14.25 Vdc (when plugged into ac power)

 

43 amp hours (797 watt hours) with ac power

 

23 amp hours (512 watt hours) of rechargeable battery power without ac

 

24 VDC Output:

50 peak starting amps (circuit breaker limited)

 

25 amps continuous @ 28.5 Vdc ( when plugged into ac power)

 

48 amp hours (1224 watt hours) with ac power

 

23 amp hours (512 watt hours) of rechargeable battery power without ac 

 

Safe, easy, maintenance-free design

 

Non-hazardous, dry-cell  technology

 

Dual Capacity Meter/Recharge State Indicators

 

Plugs into a standard ac power outlet to recharge cells
