Data Sheet
B+K High Current DC Power Supplies are designed for continuous duty and are ideal
for substituting car batteries. For servicing/demonstrating high-power car stereos,
cellular phone products, camcorders, and ham radios. Hobbyists, retailers, and service
shops use car batteries to power mobile equipment. Car batteries are heavy, leak acid,
spark, can’t tolerate shorted outputs, and must be recharged. These Power Supplies
provide their maximum current output continuously hour after hour without
overheating. For more output, just connect two or more in parallel or series. These are
the only high-current supplies in their price range built to withstand continuous duty!
The B+K Precision Models 1686A & 1688A are a high quality 3 to 14 Volt DC
Power Supplies primarily designed for bench powering of automotive and marine
electronic equipment. The Models 1686A &1688A have a maximum output
current proportional to the voltage setting (see specifications chart). Two panel
mounted meters continuously monitor the output voltage and current.
