Overview

MFJ 4416C Super Battery Boosters

MFJ 4416C Super Battery Boosters keep your transceiver operating at full performance by eliminating low or marginal voltages in the mobile environment.

They accomplish this by boosting input voltages that are as low as 9 V up to the desired 13.8 V. Providing up to 25 amps peak, they have a typical efficiency of close to 90 percent. Even at their compact, lightweight 1.3 lbs., they are designed to be rugged and easy to use.

MFJ 4416C Super Battery Boosters include Anderson PowerPole™ connectors and high-current, 5-way binding posts for both the DC input and regulated output. An internal 30 amp input fuse protects them from excess output current demands. There are also selectable limits on the minimum voltage that can be accepted; protecting you from over-discharging a battery and possibly damaging it. Should regulation be lost, they also include output over-voltage crowbar protection.

Two additional features offer ways to increase efficiency even more!

The external boost enable input allows remote enabling of the MFJ-4416C. You can either ground a line or connect the line to 4-13 Volts. You can also use an amp key line or ignition source to enable.

A second efficiency enhancement feature is a user-adjustable output voltage control, which lets you set the output voltage anywhere between 12 and 13.8 V. When setting the output at 12 V, input voltages greater than 12 V will pass through, but the efficiency of the regulator is higher, and lower input voltage can allow your transceiver to run cooler. They typically save over 30 watts in heat dissipation during transmit, and even 3-4 watts during receive.
