The CA-1550-MIL is the military version of the commercial CA-1550-CML.
The CA-1550-MIL is a rugged portable battery charger and analyzer engineered specifically for military aviation applications. Designed for charging, discharge capacity testing, and emergency battery readiness verification, this self-contained unit supports sealed lead-acid (SLAB), vented lead-acid, and nickel-cadmium batteries used in military aircraft and ground support equipment.
Built for reliability and field use, the CA-1550-MIL features digital voltage, current, and timer displays, adjustable charge/discharge settings, and integrated over-temperature battery protection. It is ideal for hangars, flight lines, naval aviation support, and military maintenance depots.
The Power Products CA-1550-MIL price and features make it a very attractive option compared to similar battery charger analyzers available on the market. Request a quote now.
Features
- No programming or computer required — intuitive operation with manual controls and readouts.
- Dual charging modes — supports both constant-potential (voltage) and constant-current charging.
- Adjustable currents — charge current ranges from 0 to 25 A; discharge current from 0 to 50 A.
- Digital meters — built-in voltmeter, ammeter, and timer display real-time voltage, current, and duration.
- Integrated temperature monitoring — built-in temperature plate protects the battery by automatically shutting down operations if the temperature exceeds 50 °C.
- Portable, rugged design — housed in a protective carrying case for durability and ease of transport in shop or field.
Benefits
- Simplified usability — technicians can operate the device quickly and confidently with its plug-and-play functionality.
