HIGH QUALITY RAINPROOF OUTDOOR IP65 SWITCHING POWER SUPPLY
Dual battery switching outdoor power supply
This device detects voltage levels and seamlessly switches between batteries to ensure continuous and reliable power supply. When the primary battery drops below a defined threshold or fails to charge, the switch automatically connects the secondary battery to maintain uninterrupted operation. [pdf]
How high a temperature can an outdoor power supply withstand
High heat above +85°C and freezing environments below -40°C can cause a major threat to a power supply. An environment that is too hot can cause rapid degradation of components and lead to failure, while extreme cold can cause components to become less conductive.

Why should you choose a wide temperature power supply?
To address such extreme environments, users are advised to opt for wide temperature (Wide Temperature) power supplies. These devices are designed to provide stable power even under high or low-temperature conditions, ensuring the reliable operation of connected equipment.
What temperature should a commercial power supply be rated?
Typical commercial power supplies are specified to support their full rated load over an ambient temperature range from zero or minus 25 degrees Celsius to around 50 degrees Celsius, and they may derate to 50% load at 70 degrees Celsius.
What happens if a power supply reaches a high temperature?
When the ambient temperature exceeds this range—such as during scorching summers or freezing winters—the power supply may fail to operate normally. To address such extreme environments, users are advised to opt for wide temperature (Wide Temperature) power supplies.
What is the operating temperature of a power supply?
The operating temperature specified for a power supply refers to the temperature of the environment around it, rather than the external ambient temperature of the equipment. Typically, the operating temperature range for power supplies is between 0°C and 40°C, with some products able to reach standards of 0°C to 50°C.
What is a good ambient temperature for a power supply?
Some applications may require ambient operating temperatures as low as -40 degrees Celsius and as high as +85 degrees Celsius, or an even wider range. A number of factors can influence the ambient temperature that a power supply is subjected to in a given application, including the following:
Do power supplies need to be housed outside?
Power supplies need to be housed outdoors, where the extreme heat of the summer and the extreme cold of the winter will both be present. Power supplies heat themselves up at different rates and intensities, and environmental influences will impact how quickly a power supply is exposed to high temperatures.
