Also look at west mountain the rigblaster people. They have a nice charge controller that will switch over to back up batteries if you loose power to your 13.8 v supply. I have used one at my base station for six months. It works great with wet or gell cells. KB1CHU

Hello, I have several of these Micor repeaters with the TPN1105/6 battery charger supplies running and have the solution to your problem. First, the factory set the charge voltage at 14.25 volts since as standard equipment they supplied NICAD batteries for backup. Naturally, this is way to high
