## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=PRT-18722:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/PRT-18722:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

A simple constant current power supply that outputs 12.6VDC and 10A. It comes in a robust metal enclosure (IP68 rated) with a 100,000 hour service life. It features Over-voltage, Over-current, Short Circuit, and Over-temperature safety features. This can be used for charging Li-Ion batteries similar to the one we sell but requires good knowledge of how to do so. It also works for powering LED lighting-type devices.

The device accepts 8-36V DC inputs via 14 AWG wires (The Red and Black ones) and outputs 12.6VDC and a constant 10A for current via the 16AWG wires (Yellow and Black).
