Charging - PowerBox Systems PowerPak 2.5X2 ECO Bedienungsanleitung

reas the ECO version is designed to be charged using an external LiIon / LiPo
charger.
Both versions feature integral balance circuits which ensure that individual
cells are not overcharged, as even Li-Ion cells are extremely vulnerable to this
state. Unbalanced cells can drift apart in condition, leading to loss of capacity;
accurate balancing also effectively eliminates this danger.
2.1 CHARGING THE PRO VERSION
To charge the PRO version you can use either the 110 / 220 V mains PSU or
the 12 V car adapter, either of which we can supply separately; both units can
be used to charge two PowerPaks simultaneously. The batteries are simply
plugged in like any conventional mobile phone, after which the charge pro-
cess is completed fully automatically.
When the charge lead is plugged in, the circuit first checks the battery's state
of charge before initiating the charge process. The integral LED - and the ex-
ternal LED, which can be plugged in if you wish - glows red when the battery is
on charge, and green when the charge process is complete.
A flashing red LED indicates an error, such as exceeding the maximum per-
mitted charge duration. If this should happen, please disconnect the battery
from the charger, then plug it in again. This causes the electronics to recheck
the state of the battery, and the charge process will restart if necessary.
Our accessory range also includes charge lead extensions (e.g. Order No.
5460), which can be useful for recharging batteries which are installed in in-
accessible locations.
Note re. Turbine PowerPak 3x PRO: you may find that the charge process
does not conclude in the normal way with this PowerPak when using the 12 V
car adapter. The reason for this is that the voltage of the car battery may not
be sufficient, depending on its state of charge. In our experience the battery
is 95% fully charged at this point, but the LED remains red. Nevertheless the
battery can then be used in the normal way.
2.2 CHARGING THE ECO VERSION
To charge the ECO version you will need a charger intended for LiIon or LiPo
batteries. It is essential to set the charger correctly to suit the PowerPak you
wish to charge.
