DESCRIPTION
The **Lamar CA-1550-MIL Battery Charger & Capacity Analyser** (P/N **CA-1550-MIL**) is a portable, self-contained battery maintenance unit designed for charging, discharging and capacity testing compatible military aircraft and ground support batteries.
Part of Lamar's Power Products battery maintenance equipment range, the CA-1550-MIL supports sealed lead-acid (SLAB) and nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd) batteries, including compatible 12 V and 24 V battery systems.
The charging section provides adjustable current from **0–25 A**, with constant potential and constant current charging modes to accommodate different battery maintenance procedures.
The discharge section delivers adjustable constant current from **0–50 A** for battery capacity testing. The analyser automatically monitors battery voltage and provides an accept/fail indication based on the battery's ability to maintain the specified minimum voltage for the preset test duration.
A key feature of the CA-1550-MIL is its **integrated battery temperature monitoring plate**, which automatically terminates charging or discharging if the monitored battery temperature exceeds **50°C**.
Equipped with digital voltage, current and time displays, the unit provides battery charging and capacity analysis without requiring external computer programming.
The CA-1550-MIL is supplied in a protective carrying case with battery connection accessories for applicable military aviation maintenance and workshop operations.
