Description BLF-1215A Battery Specifications Voltage: 12V Capacity: 15 Ah Case Type: PVC Pack Charge Connector: DC Barrel Plug Discharge Connector: Anderson Powerpole (PP45) Maximum Continuous Discharge Current: 30A (Make sure your electrical load consumes less than 30A) Maximum Peak Discharge Current: 60A (2 sec.) Max Power Delivered to Load @ 12V: 360 Watts (12V x 30A = 360 Watts) Dimensions:(L x W x H) 5.5 in. x 4.3 in. x 3.2 in. (137 mm x 107 mm x 78 mm) Weight: 4.3 lbs. (1.9 kg.) Includes built-in PCM (protection circuit module) which provides internal cell balancing and management, protection from overcurrent, undervoltage (overdischarge), overvoltage and short circuiting, and has integrated charging circuitry Available 110VAC/220 VAC Charger Compatible AC-to-DC Charger Specifications Input Voltage: 120VAC/220 VAC Output Voltage: 14.6VDC Current: 4A Connector: DC Plug Model Number: BPC-1504DC Policy Shipping: Standard Return/Exchange: 30 Days Warranty: See Separate Warranty Page Notes General: I noticed the Max and Peak Continuous Discharge on the label may be different from the website and why? The printed label may be rated to 1C Max Continuous or 2C peak. However, for some models of batteries including the BLF-1212A, BLF-1212AB, BLF-1212AS, BLF-1215A, BLF-1215AS, and BLF-1220A, 30 Amp and 40 Amp PCM/BMS boards have been installed. The de-rating on the label to 1C is mentioned to ensure the battery can deliver more than 2,000 to 3,000 cycles. However, rest assured these batteries can deliver the 23 Amps for your ham radio equipment which has a duty cycle of 20% transmit and 80% receive. If you operate continuous at the 2C discharge (with no duty cycle), the cycle life is a bit less to about 1,800 to 2,000 cycles instead of 2,000 to 3,000 cycles.
