About Regulators
A regulator must be used to connect rechargeable batteries with a charging source. Regulators control the current flowing to the battery and prevent the battery current from flowing to the charging source. A regulator is incorporated in our SP10R and SP20R solar panels, the base of our CR3000, CR5000, CR7, and CR9000(X) dataloggers, and the PS100 power supply. The CH100 Regulator is offered for use with our BP12 and BP24 battery packs. The DCDC18R regulator is required to charge the CR3000 or CR5000 battery via vehical power.
