Solving Battery Charging Problems: Advantages of Charging DC Regulated Power Supplies
In battery charging scenarios, "overcharging damage" and "difficulty adapting to different battery types" are two long-standing pain points for users. Using a lead-acid battery charger for lithium batteries may cause battery swelling due to mismatched charging curves; manually monitoring charging duration can easily lead to shortened battery life if overcharged; even reversing the positive and negative poles of a traditional power supply can directly burn the battery protection board. However, KUAIQU's charging DC regulated power supplies (SPPS-C series) precisely solve these problems through intelligent functions such as multi-battery type adaptation and real-time capacity monitoring, turning battery charging from a "careful task" into a "worry-free and efficient process".
I. 3 Core Pain Points of Battery Charging: Hard to Solve with Traditional Methods
Whether it is an electric vehicle repair shop charging customers' batteries or a laboratory maintaining test batteries, traditional charging tools (such as ordinary chargers and general-purpose regulated power supplies) often face the following difficulties:
- Pain Point 1: Difficulty Adapting to Multiple Battery Types, "One Charger for All" Causes Damage
 
Lithium batteries, lead-acid batteries, and lithium iron phosphate batteries have completely different charging logics. Lithium batteries require a "constant current-constant voltage" curve, lead-acid batteries need "three-stage charging", and lithium iron phosphate batteries have specific voltage thresholds (e.g., 3.65V cutoff for a single cell). Traditional chargers mostly adapt to only one type. Using a lead-acid charger for lithium batteries will cause electrolyte decomposition due to continuous high voltage, shortening battery life by more than 50%. Forcing the use of a general-purpose power supply with manual adjustment requires repeatedly checking battery parameters, which is cumbersome and error-prone.
- Pain Point 2: High Overcharging Risk, Low Efficiency with "Manual Monitoring"
 
Traditional power supplies lack an automatic power-off function. When charging a 12V/12Ah lead-acid battery, manual recording of charging time (usually 8-10 hours) is required. Forgetting to cut off power will cause the battery to heat up and swell due to overcharging, and even pose safety hazards in severe cases. An electric vehicle repair shop once counted that the battery repair rate caused by overcharging accounted for 35% of total failures.
- Pain Point 3: No Reverse Connection Protection, High Loss from "Misoperation"
 
Most traditional power supplies have no protective design when the positive and negative poles are reversed, which will directly conduct large currents and burn the battery protection board or internal components of the power supply. Especially for novice operators, equipment damage caused by wiring negligence costs an average of $ 30 to$70 per repair.
II. KUAIQU SPPS-C Series: 3 Intelligent Functions to Solve Charging Problems
Targeting the above pain points, KUAIQU SPPS-C series charging DC regulated power supplies have made special upgrades from three dimensions: "adaptation, safety, and efficiency". Each function accurately meets the needs of actual charging scenarios.
1. One-Click Adaptation to Multiple Battery Types, Say Goodbye to "Incorrect Charging" Risks
The core advantage of the SPPS-C series lies in its built-in multi-battery type charging algorithm. No additional manual parameter adjustment is needed; just press the "Battery Type" button on the panel to switch modes:
- Lithium Battery Mode: Automatically adapts to common lithium battery packs such as 3.7V/7.4V/11.1V. It first charges at a constant current of 0.5C (e.g., a 12Ah battery is charged at 6A). When the voltage reaches the cutoff value (e.g., 4.2V for a single cell), it automatically switches to constant voltage mode. The current gradually drops to 0.05C and then cuts off power to avoid overcharging.
 
- Lead-Acid Battery Mode: Adopts "constant current-constant voltage-float charging" three-stage charging. When charging a 12V lead-acid battery, it first increases the voltage to 14.8V at a constant current of 1.5A, then maintains the constant voltage until the current drops to 0.3A, and finally switches to 13.8V float charging to extend the battery cycle life.
 
- Lithium Iron Phosphate Battery Mode: Accurately identifies 3.2V single cells, and sets the charging cutoff voltage to 3.65V to avoid battery lattice damage caused by excessive voltage.
 
2. Real-Time Capacity + Automatic Power-Off, Free from "Manual Monitoring"
The 4-digit LED display of the SPPS-C series not only shows real-time voltage and current but also synchronously displays the charging capacity (Ah), making the charging progress clear at a glance. When charging a 12V/12Ah lead-acid battery, the screen will gradually jump from "0Ah" to "11.8Ah" (close to full capacity). It automatically cuts off the output when reaching the set capacity, no manual intervention is required.
In addition, the series also supports adjustable charging current (0-5A/0-10A optional, depending on the model). Users can flexibly set it according to the battery's newness: use standard current (0.5C) for fast charging of new batteries, and small current (0.2C) for slow charging and repairing old batteries, balancing efficiency and battery protection.
Data Comparison: A traditional charger takes 10 hours to charge a 12Ah lead-acid battery and requires manual monitoring. The SPPS-C305C can fully charge it in 2.5 hours with 6A current, and no supervision is needed after automatic power-off, reducing labor costs by 100%.
3. Triple Protection Design, Eliminate Losses from "Misoperation"
To address safety risks in charging scenarios, the SPPS-C series has built-in multiple protection mechanisms to avoid losses from misoperation at the source:
- Reverse Connection Protection: When the positive and negative poles are reversed, the power supply has no output, the "Reverse Connection Alarm" light on the panel flashes, and the buzzer sounds. It can only be restored after re-connecting the wires correctly, avoiding large current conduction.
 
- Overvoltage/Overcurrent Protection: Users can manually set the voltage upper limit (e.g., 15V) and current upper limit (e.g., 8A). In case of abnormalities during charging (such as internal battery short circuit), the power supply will instantly cut off the output to protect the battery and equipment.
 
- Overtemperature Protection: When the internal temperature of the power supply exceeds 60℃, the cooling fan speeds up automatically. When the temperature continues to rise to 70℃, power-off is triggered to prevent component aging caused by long-term high-power charging.
