TCS's KA5-P Keep-Alive® is the biggest in the line: it stores the energy needed to ride through power interruptions without a hitch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA keep-alive module stores energy in supercapacitors and feeds it back to the decoder whenever current pickup is interrupted — dirty track, poor contact, insulated switch points. The KA5-P adds a fifth supercapacitor, giving it the highest capacity and peak charging voltage in TCS's standard line; it provides roughly 6 to 20 seconds of run-time in HO (headlights on), depending on motor efficiency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe “-P” version ships with a 2-pin polarized quick-connect harness for a clean, solder-free hookup to compatible TCS decoders. A hardwire connection is still possible — blue wire to positive, black-with-white-stripe wire to ground — including on other makers' decoders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTCS Keep-Alive® KA5-P module (keep-alive power for a DCC decoder)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLargest and most powerful in the standard Keep-Alive line (five supercapacitors)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRides through dirty track, turnouts and frogs without stalling or flickering\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRoughly 6 to 20 seconds of run-time in HO (motor-dependent)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2-pin polarized quick-connect harness (solder-free hookup)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHardwire option: blue to positive, black-with-white-stripe to ground\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with all TCS decoders; other brands per TCS wiring guide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDimensions: 1.325 x 0.45 x 0.347 in (33.45 x 11.45 x 8.80 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIdeal for uninterrupted sound and smooth low-speed running\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMade by TCS (Train Control Systems)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"TCS DCC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48929814675630,"sku":"745-2006","price":36.41,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0615\/0216\/1070\/files\/091221_c1eeb068ec854cba898a7dc5c6a98a16_mv2.avif?v=1787348986","url":"https:\/\/modelebt.com\/en\/products\/tcs-keep-alive%c2%ae-ka5-p-maintien-dalimentation","provider":"Modèle B.T.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
