It was about the same price as a battery. yep . . . better yet, it won't go sour sitting on the shelf! Batteries are like house plants. You gotta 'tend' them whether in-service or not. I just pitched a lab battery last week that I'd allowed to self-discharge and degrade to salvage value. I'm upgrading my battery storage area to facilitate maintenance on all the batteries in the shop . . . a feature I did not implement immediately after my move from Wichita to the Kansas hinterlands. With the addition of suitable connectors and controls, power supplies of this nature can be configured to serve as ground power carts with no wheels . . . since they're not beefy enough to crank an engine. But they pretty much run everything else. The only caution is to not use these things to charge a badly discharged ship's battery. It's okay to have this power supply on line with a battery as long as the battery is pretty strong. This would be useful for running hi- inrush, intermittent loads like landing gear pump motors. But for the most part, these supplies are happiest doing the whole job all by themselves.
