Replace the block battery power source

Can a battery be replaced with a power supply?

Say half an hour, then 24 V 24+ A supply. Replacing a battery from a battery-operated equipment with a power supply can be tricky. Especially when the equipment uses an electric motor. The problem is that an electric motor can draw very large startup current - it can be as 10-20 times the nominal for a couple of seconds.

What happens if you replace a battery with a DC power supply?

If I replace my batteries with a power supply of equal voltage, then the current in the system also stays the same. This project uses this relationship to replace Voltage, V supplied by a battery with voltage supplied by a DC power supply – nothing else is changed.

How do you kill power from an auxiliary battery?

If you trace the black cable, it goes all the way to the engine compartment and it’s attached to the positive terminal of the Aux battery. The easiest way to kill power from the Aux battery is to undo the brown cable on the negative post of the battery (or undo the other end where it bolts onto the metal of the engine compartment).

Can I use a DC power supply instead of a battery?

This toy just sits on the desk, so it’s a good candidate to modify to accept a DC power supply instead of batteries. This idea is not well suited to something like an R.C. Car, but in a pinch, you can use it on the remote control for your TV. Wall outlet power is generally alternating current, or ‘AC’.

How do you kill a battery on a Mercedes Benz?

The easiest way to kill power from the Aux battery is to undo the brown cable on the negative post of the battery (or undo the other end where it bolts onto the metal of the engine compartment). Mercedes says to use the Aux connector, not the relay bolt. There is no reason to use the relay bolt.

Why do I need a battery management system?

A battery management system helps to prevent that. 1) With the van off, the relay between the starter battery and the aux battery is open, so any charge from the solar panels is only going to top off the aux battery. 2) With the van off, any solar panels connected to your starter battery will not charge the aux battery for the same reason.
