DESCRIPTION
The **Lamar CA-1550-CML Battery Charger & Capacity Analyser** (P/N **CA-1550-CML**) is a portable, self-contained unit designed for charging, discharging and capacity testing compatible aircraft and ground support batteries.
Part of Lamar's Power Products battery maintenance equipment range, the CA-1550-CML supports sealed and vented lead-acid batteries and nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd) batteries.
The unit accommodates compatible 12 V and 24 V lead-acid batteries, as well as nickel-cadmium batteries ranging from a single cell to 22 cells.
The charging section provides adjustable current from **0–25 A**, with constant potential and constant current charging options to suit applicable battery maintenance procedures.
The discharge section delivers adjustable constant current from **0–50 A** for battery capacity testing. During testing, the analyser monitors battery voltage and provides a pass/fail indication based on the battery's ability to maintain the specified minimum voltage for the preset test duration.
Equipped with digital voltage, current and time displays, the CA-1550-CML provides battery charging and capacity analysis without requiring external computer programming.
The unit is housed in a protective carrying case, making it suitable for aviation maintenance workshops and field servicing applications.
