Guest anguscanplay Posted January 12, 2008 Posted January 12, 2008 No I don't buy ****, most don't realise that the current you quote would represent quiescent trickle charge current, after a power cut the charge current will shoot up so if you loaded the PSU output to anywhere near 100% rating then the current draw wil exceed the PSU's rated output, ok for a short duration but not a good idea. Most also don't realise there is a big difference between PSU figures from suppliers, some don't tell you they are quoting non-duty figures.Hence my original statement to over spec if you arn't sure! its good advice - but you need to overspec the battery more so !
luggsey Posted January 12, 2008 Posted January 12, 2008 its good advice - but you need to overspec the battery more so ! That will work for the standby time, not for the full normal load of course.... It really is a case of bigger is better isin't it! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Life is like a box of chocolates, some bugger always gets the nice ones!
