PSC PowerStar LiFE Rack Power Distribution System
The PSC PowerStar LiFE puts a 20 Ah LiFePO4 battery, a 500 W AC supply and charger, and ten filtered outputs in a single rack space for sound and video carts.
Its 12.8 V, 256 Wh battery uses cells that PSC grades, matches into sets, and rates for 3C charge and discharge, and built-in cell balancing gives the battery a longer life. It charges in about 1.5 hours on a typical cart, or an hour with everything switched off.
The 500 W switching supply filters its AC input against common-mode and differential noise, harmonics, and spikes, limits its own current under extreme conditions, and charges quietly. Two 8 A and eight 3.5 A outputs each have their own audio and RF filter, a resettable polyfuse, and a front-panel LED. Together they deliver up to 25 A on the battery or 24 A on AC alone.
The included remote control box lets the PowerStar LiFE mount down and out of the way. It adds a second set of on and off controls, a second battery meter, and four USB charging ports with 4 A in total. A gold-anodized aluminum heat sink with more than 375 sq in (2419 sq cm) of surface cools the PowerStar LiFE by convection, and the rack brackets mount from the front or back.
