UPS-Battery Charger Power Supply

Leyu provides UPS power supplies with battery charging and DC backup functions for systems that need to remain powered when the main AC supply is interrupted.

Unlike a standard AC-DC switching power supply, a UPS charging power supply can support the DC load during normal operation while maintaining a compatible external backup battery. When the AC input is lost, the battery can provide temporary DC power to critical equipment according to the design and wiring of the selected model.

Leyu's UPS charging range includes solutions for 12V, 24V and higher-voltage DC systems, with AD, ADD, SC and SCP series available for different output, charging and backup requirements. Current products are designed for applications such as security systems, access control, industrial controls, communication equipment and building automation.

What Is a UPS Charging Power Supply?

A UPS charging power supply combines three functions within one power system:

AC-DC power conversion + DC load supply + external battery charging

During normal operation, AC input is converted into regulated DC power for the connected load while a compatible external battery is maintained or charged according to the product design.

When the AC input fails, the backup battery can provide power to the DC load through the UPS circuit or configured connection, helping critical equipment continue operating during the interruption.

This makes a UPS charging power supply different from a conventional switching power supply that only converts AC input into DC output. The AD-155 series, for example, is specifically designed with load and float-charge outputs plus battery backup functionality.

How Does a UPS Power Supply with Battery Backup Work?

Normal AC Operation

AC Input → UPS Charging Power Supply → DC Load

At the same time:

UPS Charging Power Supply → External Battery Charging

The equipment operates from the AC-DC power supply while the battery remains available for backup.

During an AC Power Failure

External Battery → UPS Circuit → DC Load

The battery supplies temporary DC power to the connected equipment according to the wiring and operating logic of the selected model.

When AC power returns, the power supply resumes normal operation and the battery charging process can continue.

The exact switching method, charging behavior and battery connection vary by model, so the product wiring diagram and technical specifications should always be checked before installation.

Choose by Backup System Voltage

12V UPS Power Supply

A 12V UPS power supply is suitable for equipment designed around a 12V-class DC system.

Common applications can include:

  • CCTV equipment

  • Access control

  • Alarm systems

  • Security devices

  • Monitoring equipment

For example, the SCP-120-12 is rated at 13.8V / 8A for a 12V-class backup system.

24V UPS Power Supply

A 24V UPS power supply is suitable for industrial and control systems using a 24V-class DC architecture.

Typical applications can include:

  • PLC control systems

  • Industrial controllers

  • Access control

  • Building automation

  • Communication equipment

  • Monitoring systems

The current SCP-120-24 provides 27.6V / 4A, while the AD-155B also uses a 27.6V main output with a separate battery charging channel.

Higher-Voltage Backup Systems

Some equipment may require a higher DC voltage than standard 12V or 24V systems.

The AD-155 family includes a higher-voltage configuration in addition to its 12V- and 24V-class versions.

For these applications, confirm:

  • Required DC load voltage

  • Battery bank voltage

  • Charging voltage

  • Load current

  • Backup runtime

before choosing a model.

Battery Compatibility and Charging Requirements

The backup battery is a critical part of any DC UPS system.

Before connecting a battery, confirm that the selected power supply and battery are electrically compatible.

Key factors include:

Battery Voltage

The battery nominal voltage must match the charging and backup requirements of the power supply.

A 12V-class supply should not automatically be assumed to support a 24V battery system, and vice versa.

Battery Chemistry

Different battery chemistries require different charging characteristics.

Do not connect a battery simply because its nominal voltage appears compatible. Confirm that the charger is designed for the battery type and charging method used in your project.

For example, the AD-155 documentation specifically describes a float-charging arrangement for backup batteries.

Battery Capacity

Battery capacity is normally expressed in ampere-hours (Ah).

A larger-capacity battery can generally provide longer backup duration, but it may also require more time to recharge when charging current is limited.

Charging Current

Check the available charging current of the selected UPS power supply.

Charging current affects how quickly the battery can recover after a discharge.

Low-Voltage Protection

Deep battery discharge can reduce usable battery life or cause system problems.

Selected Leyu UPS charging products include battery low-voltage or battery-related protection functions depending on model.

How Long Do You Need Backup Power?

Backup runtime should be considered before choosing the battery and UPS charging power supply.

The actual operating time during a power outage depends on several factors:

  • Battery voltage

  • Battery capacity

  • DC load current

  • Total load power

  • Battery age and condition

  • Discharge characteristics

  • Operating temperature

  • System losses

A system designed only to bridge short power interruptions may require a smaller battery than equipment that must continue running for several hours.

For project evaluation, provide both your maximum DC load and your required backup time.

For example:

Load: 24V / 2A
Required Backup: 2 hours

This information allows the battery capacity and charging requirements to be evaluated together instead of selecting the power supply by wattage alone.

How to Choose a UPS Power Supply with Battery Charger

1. Confirm the DC Load Voltage

Identify the voltage required by the connected equipment.

Typical system voltage classes include:

  • 12V

  • 24V

  • Higher-voltage DC systems

2. Calculate Maximum Load Current

Add the maximum current required by all devices that need to remain powered.

This is especially important for systems containing cameras, controllers, locks, relays, communication modules or other equipment operating simultaneously.

3. Confirm the Battery Voltage

The external battery must match the backup and charging architecture of the selected UPS power supply.

Always verify the manufacturer's battery connection specifications.

4. Determine the Required Backup Time

Decide how long the equipment needs to remain operational after AC power fails.

This may range from short interruption protection to several hours of backup depending on the application.

5. Check Battery Charging Current

A larger battery does not automatically mean a better system.

If battery capacity increases while available charging current remains low, full recharge time may increase significantly.

Choose the battery and charger as one system.

6. Determine Whether an Auxiliary Output Is Required

Some equipment only needs one main DC load output plus battery charging.

Other systems may require an additional low-voltage supply for control electronics.

For these applications, a multi-output configuration such as the ADD Series may be more suitable.

7. Check Battery Protection Functions

Depending on model, review functions such as:

  • Battery low-voltage protection

  • Battery polarity protection

  • Short-circuit protection

  • Overload protection

  • Over-voltage protection

Current AD-155 and SCP-120 specifications list several of these protection functions.

8. Check Installation Conditions

Confirm:

  • Available installation space

  • Ventilation

  • Ambient temperature

  • Wiring method

  • Battery location

  • Required enclosure

Battery and power supply operating temperature can affect overall system performance.

FAQ

What is a UPS charging power supply?

A UPS charging power supply combines AC-DC power conversion with battery charging and backup functionality. During normal operation it powers the DC load and supports battery charging. When AC power is interrupted, a compatible external battery can supply the connected load according to the design of the selected model.

Does a UPS charging power supply require an external battery?

The power supply may still operate as an AC-DC supply without a battery on selected models, but the UPS backup function requires a compatible external battery. For example, the AD-155 can provide its main output without a connected battery, while backup operation requires the battery connection.

What is the difference between a UPS power supply and a standard switching power supply?

A standard switching power supply normally provides DC output only while AC input is available. A UPS charging power supply adds battery charging and backup capability so that selected DC loads can continue operating during an AC interruption.

How do I choose between a 12V and 24V UPS power supply?

Use the voltage required by your load and backup battery system. A 12V-class system requires a compatible 12V-class UPS configuration, while equipment operating from a 24V-class DC bus requires a corresponding 24V solution.

How do I estimate the required battery backup time?

Backup time depends on battery capacity, load current, battery condition, temperature and system losses. Provide the required DC voltage, maximum load current and desired backup duration so the battery and charging configuration can be evaluated together.
