In order to prevent battery leakage, heat or explosion, please be aware to:

• Do not throw the battery into water or fire. Avoid water (or any other

liquid) seepage into the battery;

• Store the battery in a cool and dry place, do not use under extreme heat;

• Avoid to short circuit the battery terminals with metal objects, do not

transport or store the battery with necklace, hair clipper or other metal objects near it;

• Avoid striking, throw or shaking the battery;

• Avoid piercing the battery shell via nail or other sharp objects, avoid to

tamper with it, to hammer or to trample on the battery;

• Do not attempt to disassemble or alter the battery in any way.

This device is designed to power equipments like notebooks. Do not use it to support medical equipments directly related to human life.

Dange r ! Battery leakage, explosion or fire may be caused if

you do not f ollow the below precautions c arefully

Warning!

• Do not put battery into microwave oven or pressured vessel;

• Stop using when unusual smell, smoke, heating, colour-change of battery

cover or other abnormalities come out of the battery;

• Keep away from the fire when leakage or unusual smell comes out from

the battery;

• Leaked electrolyte may cause fire or explosion;

• Do not wipe your eyes if the leaked electrolyte enters into them: wash

with running water and ask your doctor for immediate assistance, the eyes may be damaged if not treated timely.

Attention!

• Do not use the battery in extremely hot environment (>40°C), like inside

the car with direct sunlight or in summer. Otherwise, the battery becomes overheated. High temperatures decrease the battery performance and shorten its service life.

• If you have to store the battery for a long time (over three months), keep

it charged to 50% of the rated capacity (charge once every 3 months), store it in a dry place with a temperature not beyond -10°C ~ 40°C, and avoid the contact with corrosive objects. Keep away from the fire and heat sources in general.

• Teach children how to use the battery according to the user manual, and

Basic Operations

Energy Box provides two different voltage outputs (16V - 19V) in order to be compatible with most notebook models.

Step 1:

Before using Energy Box, make sure it is fully charged. Read the “how to charge” section carefully first.

Step 2:

Refer to the user manual of your notebook or check the label to figure out brand and model. From the compatibility list select the input (Lxx) and output (LxxD) proper tips and the voltage value according to the notebook brand and model. Take IBM T40 as an example.

If your laptop model is not included in the Compatibility List check the voltage of its power supply and then try if any of the tips can fit. Refer to “Tips

Specifications” chapter for the tips characteristics and polarity.

Step 3:

Set the battery pack output voltage at the value required by your notebook as follows:

1. Move the Lock/Unlock switch to Unlock position;

2. press the pushbutton to select output voltage. The output voltage is displayed by a LED (5.5V, 16V and 19V are selectable);

3. Move the Lock/Unlock switch back to Lock position;

Step 4:

Press the pushbutton on the front panel of the battery pack and check LED indicators. If only one or no indicators are lighted, it means that the battery is not charged and first you have to fully charge it using your notebook charger. Follow the instructions on the “how to charge” section in order to charge Energy Box. During the charge the first LED will be red lit. The fully charge status is indicated by the FULL LED (green) lit, and the red LED turned off. In order to improve the charge efficiency, during the charge process do not connect to Energy Box your notebook if its built-in battery is discharged.

Step 5:

Once Energy Box is fully charged, before proceeding the Lock/Unlock switch must be in Lock position. Then connect the selected output tip (LxxD) to bundled output cable, then insert it into DC-IN connector of your notebook. Connect the other end of the output cable into OUT connector of Energy Box. The battery pack is now ready to supply power to your notebook. As soon as you connect the output cable, Energy Box will deliver selected voltage (16V or 19V) to your notebook.

Battery Level Indicators

Three power level LED indicators show Energy Box power status. By pressing the pushbutton on Energy Box during discharging or when it is on idle status (switch on Lock position), the remaining power level will be displayed for some second. Details on indicators status are as following:

During charge During discharge

0% - 10% (red) 70% - 100% (green)

10% - 40% (red) 70% - 40% (green)

40% - 70% (red) 40% - 10% (green)

100% (green) <10% (green blink)

When the remaining power is below 10%, the battery pack goes into low voltage status. This condition is indicated by the first green LED blinking. When this happens, please save your work and switch to mains-operated power as soon as possible.

USB Output

The USB port provides a 5.5V supply. Connect USB input device (eg. Mobile Phone, MP3 player USB cable, etc.) to Energy Box USB port and

5.5V will be delivered to the device.

How to charge

Connect the proper input tip (Lxx) to the notebook original AC adapter, then connect it to the IN connector of battery pack (refer to illustration for more details). Connect then the other terminal with electricity source to start the charge. During the charge the first LED will be red lit. The fully charge will be indicated by the FULL LED (green) lit, and the red LED turned off. In order to improve the charging efficiency, during the charge of Energy Box do not connect your notebook if built-in battery is discharged. Otherwise, the charge time lengthens.

Main Output Power

Before proceeding the Lock/Unlock switch must be in Lock position Connect

one terminal of the bundled output cable to the OUT connector of battery pack (refer to illustration for more details), and the other terminal to the proper output tip (LxxD) and then to the DC-IN connector of the notebook. Note: make sure Energy Box is at proper output voltage level (16V or 19V)

before connect it to the notebook. During battery pack discharge, it will offer power supply to notebook first and charge the notebook built-in battery with small current. In order to improve Energy Box runtime, take out the built-in battery from the notebook (if discharged) before connecting it to Energy Box.

Warnings & Protections

In case of high current requirement (>3,2A) or abnormal use, Energy Box internal temperature can raise to a high degree: should this happen, the battery pack will shut off automatically. When the internal temperature decreases to a safe degree, the battery pack will turn on and unchain the safety protection automatically. Then it can be used again safely. Do not use Energy Box with portable devices with high current requirement (>3,2A).
