NewMar POWER-PAC 14AH 12V DC Power Supply with Battery Backup

The NewMar Power-Pac 14AH is a highly regulated 12V DC power supply with built-in battery backup designed for marine communications and navigation equipment. This uninterruptible power system features two sealed 7 amp-hour batteries that are continuously charged during normal operation and automatically provide backup power when AC input is lost, making it ideal for commercial vessels, work boats, and yachts.

Key Features:

• Highly regulated 13.6 VDC output with less than 1% ripple for noise-free operation
• 10-amp continuous output powers radios and sensitive communications equipment without RF or audio interference
• Dual 7 amp-hour sealed lead-acid batteries provide 14 amp-hours of backup capacity
• Automatic switchover to battery power when AC fails—no interruption to connected equipment
• Front panel LED indicators show normal operation, backup mode, and low battery status
• Audible low battery warning with mute switch alerts at 10.7 VDC
• Automatic low voltage disconnect at 10.3 VDC protects batteries from over-discharge
• Dual voltage AC input (115/230 VAC, 50-60 Hz) selectable via rear panel switch
• Separate terminals for charging additional external batteries up to 28 amp-hours total
• Comprehensive protection: over-voltage, current limiting, thermal shutdown, input/output fusing

Technical Specifications:

• Input: 115/230 VAC, 50-60 Hz (switchable)
• Output: 13.6 VDC at 5A continuous, 10A intermittent
• Regulation: 1% line and load
• Ripple: 1% peak-to-peak
• Battery Capacity: 14 amp-hours (two 7AH sealed lead-acid batteries)
• Operating Temperature: 0-40°C
• Case: Vinyl laminated aluminum with 6-foot AC power cord

Backup Power Performance:

• 7 amps for 100 minutes
• 10 amps for 60 minutes
• 15 amps for 30 minutes
• 20 amps for 15 minutes

With a typical 25-watt marine transceiver operating at a 20% transmit/receive duty cycle, the Power-Pac 14AH provides approximately 6 hours of backup runtime. The unit can be expanded with external batteries (sold separately) to achieve up to 12 hours of backup power. Batteries automatically recharge when AC power is restored.

The Power-Pac includes sealed lead-acid deep-cycle batteries that are DOT and IATA certified for air shipment. The rugged construction and comprehensive protection features make this an essential power solution for reliable marine communications.
