12VDC 6.4A Battery Backup Power Supply with Battery Charger
The 12VDC 6.4A Battery Backup Power Supply with Battery Charger is a power unit for systems that must keep running during mains failures. It provides a 12 volt DC output for low-voltage equipment and combines this with a charger that keeps a backup battery topped up. Because the battery is maintained automatically, the system can continue to operate when the mains supply drops out, giving time for normal service to resume or for a controlled shutdown.
Key features
- 12VDC output for standard low-voltage equipment
- Rated 6.4A, as indicated by the product code
- Integrated battery charger for backup battery maintenance
- Designed as a battery backup power supply for continuous operation
- Part of the Power Supply category for security and IT installations
Typical uses
This power supply is well suited to security installations, where alarm panels, keypads, sensors and communication modules need to remain powered during an outage. It can also support IT and networking equipment, such as switches, access points and small network devices, that should not drop offline during a short power cut.
Other common applications include access control hardware, small CCTV or camera systems, and general low-voltage electronics that rely on a stable 12 volt supply. In each case, the backup function helps protect the system’s availability and the data or monitoring it provides.
Installation considerations
Before fitting the unit, confirm that the total current drawn by the connected equipment stays within the supply’s rating, with some margin for the battery charging load. Check the required battery type and size for your backup duration, and make sure the battery is compatible with the charger. Mount the unit in a dry, ventilated location and follow the wiring guidance supplied with the product. A qualified installer should carry out the work where required by local regulations.
Maintenance
Periodically check that the battery is charging correctly and that the output voltage is within the expected range. Replacing an ageing battery on schedule helps ensure the backup function works when it is needed most. Keep the unit clean and free from obstructions so that it can operate without overheating.
Who it is for
This product suits installers, system integrators and facility managers who need a dependable backup power source for low-voltage security and IT systems. It is also useful for anyone upgrading an existing installation to add resilience against short mains interruptions. If you are unsure whether the 6.4 rating and 12VDC output match your equipment, check the specifications with your supplier before ordering.
