AC Adapter
The included AC adapter is the only one certified for recharging the
Mobile Power Pack. It features:
•Output voltage: 5 V DC
•Current limited output capacity: 1 A
WARNING! AC adapters that are NOT current limited to 3 A or
below may permanently damage the Mobile Power Pack!
WARNING! DO NOT connect a device when the Mobile Power
Pack is connected to the AC charger and the Mobile Power Pack
is turned OFF! When the Mobile Power Pack is depleted, you may
not be able to charge it and a device simultaneously!
The Mobile Power Pack can be connected to the included AC adapter
indefinitely without damage, because it will make sure it is “topped
off” and kept fully charged. The high-quality, high-capacity LI ion
batteries of the Mobile Power Pack last for more than 500 recharge
cycles before losing even 15% of initial capacity.
Circuit Protection
•The Mobile Power Pack has protection circuits for over-current,
over-voltage, under-voltage, and short.
•The power switch can be used to completely disconnect the battery
from all external loads and rest the protection circuit in case of a
short circuit.
Resetting the Mobile Power Pack
•If a short circuit occurs at the output, the Mobile Power Pack
automatically disconnects from the short.
•After the short is removed, rest the Mobile Power Pack for normal
operation by turning it ON, OFF, and ON again. This will restore the
output voltage to 5.0 V, and the product will be ready to use again.
Discharge Voltage/Output
Monitoring circuits indicate two discharge levels.
•When the battery is discharged to 90%, the yellow LED will blink
•At the second trip point, the 5 V output is disabled, and the output
will discharge at a lower voltage until it falls to 0 V.
For short circuits, or loads that cause a current drain greater than 2 A,
the battery protection mechanism will disconnect the units’ output.
•To rest the Mobile Power Pack, turn it ON, OFF and ON again.
•In the OFF state, all power is removed from the output.
•In the ON state, the power will restore all circuits to connected
mode.
Recovering from Deep Discharge
If a terminal device or other load keeps drawing current from the
Mobile Power Pack after the Low Voltage LED has begun blinking
yellow, the product can eventually become deeply discharged.
•When reduced to about 2.2 V, the product’s internal batteries will
automatically disconnect from the terminal device and give zero
output voltage.
•At this point, when you connect the product to a charger, a slow
pre-charge cycle will begin (~4-5 hours), to protect the Li-ion
batteries from damage. The Charging Status LED will not light, and
the Low Voltage LED will blink yellow.
•After the product reaches 2.5 volts, normal high current charging
will begin, and the Charging Status LED will emit a solid red light.
If the product is left uncharged for exceptionally long periods of time
(e.g., more than a year), the internal battery voltage may drop to a
point where the Low Voltage LED will not blink when the product is
connected to a charger.
•Leave the product connected to the charger for 8 hours to see if
normal operation resumes.
•If after 8 hours, even the Low Voltage LED does not begin blinking,
the batteries are depleted.
