The Kussmaul Battery Saver Low Ripple VHO is a heavy-duty 40-amp power supply with an integrated load power transfer function designed to prevent auxiliary electronic equipment from discharging the vehicle battery while connected to 120 VAC shore power. Engineered for emergency and specialty vehicles, the Battery Saver provides clean, regulated, low-ripple DC power for sensitive electronics such as mobile data terminals (MDTs), vehicle computers, communications equipment, and other onboard electrical loads.
When AC power is unavailable, connected equipment operates from the vehicle battery. When 120 VAC shore power is applied, solid-state circuitry automatically transfers the connected loads to the Battery Saver output. The system is designed to maintain continuous power during transfers, helping prevent sensitive electronic equipment and vehicle computers from rebooting due to momentary power interruptions.
The Battery Saver Low Ripple VHO provides a 40-amp total output, regulated output voltage, and user-selectable output voltage settings for flexible vehicle electrical system integration. A green LED provides visual confirmation when 120 VAC input power is present, while the heavy-duty enclosure and components are designed for demanding emergency vehicle installations.
