INCASE OF EMERGENCY
FIRE/SMOKE EMISSION
Batteries contain flammable/combustible material that may be
ignited, explode, release toxic materials, cause burns or give
off gases when heated or in contact with sparks or flames.
In the event of fire, vapor releases, and/or smoke emissions,
evacuate the immediate area of all unnecessary personnel.
CONTACT/INGESTION
Elements within the battery may cause skin burns, eye burns
and respiratory tract burns if in contact with any of these
tissue membranes.
In the event that the electrolyte inside the battery comes into
contact with the skin or eyes, flush area immediately. Seek
immediate medical attention.
For contact with skin, wash the
affected area with soap and water. Dry gently
with towel. Seek immediate medical
attention.
If fumes are inhaled, leave the immediate area. If not
breathing, give artificial resuscitation. If breathing, give
oxygen. Seek immediate medical attention.

Fully Discharged
The PowerPad® 600C uses a comprehensive fuel-gauge system to
indicate its charging/discharging state.
The fuel gauge displays the following information:
While the PowerPad® 600C fuel gage provides a relatively accurate
state of charge during discharge, it more accurately shows the true
state of charge when idle. It is therefore normal for the PowerPad®
600C to alter it has been idle for more than an hour.
If voltage on any cell drops below 3.35 V the buzzer starts beeping
and internal circuit will disconnect the internal battery. Battery needs
to be immediately charged and the Reset Button pressed.

RECOMMENDED USE OF THE PowerPad
®
600C
The PowerPad® 600C is designed to work with portable computers,
desktop computers, TVs, lights and other electronics devices or
combination of electronics devises less than 400 watts. The
PowerPad® 600C must be attached to the electronics device using
only the PowerPad® 600C connection cable provided.
It is recommended that the PowerPad® 600C be used in conjunction
with the electronics device’s internal battery. This will ensure a
backup of power and a seamless transfer of power supply from the
PowerPad® 600C to the internal battery, in the event of a full
discharge or accidental disconnection. In this situation, it may be
possible to charge your computer's (or other electronics device’s)
battery through the recharge port of the connection cable while the
PowerPad® 600C is in use. The runtime of the PowerPad® 600C will
be reduced. It is recommended that the internal battery be charged
separately from the PowerPad® 600C to achieve optimal
performance.
The optimal operating temperature is between 20°C (70°F) and 45°C
(113°F). It is recommended that the PowerPad® 600C not be exposed
to direct sunlight, or to temperatures less than 0°C (32°F). When
exposed to temperatures below 0°C (32°F) and above 45°C (113°F),
Page 11
the PowerPad® 600C will not operate; however, when the PowerPad®
600C returns to a temperature between 0°C (32°F) and 45°C (113°F)
the PowerPad® 600C will again be operable.
OPTIMIZING BATTERY LIFE
1. Charge the PowerPad® 600C immediately after received and
unpacked.
2. When not in use for a month or more, charge the PowerPad®
600C prior to storing. Monitor the PowerPad® 600C during
storage, and if needed, recharge to maintain capacity.
3. After a period of time, the PowerPad® 600C will lose its ability to
perform at maximum capacity and will need to be replaced. This
is normal for all batteries
CHARGING THE PowerPad® 600C
In order to optimize your charge time, it is recommended that the
PowerPad® 600C not be charged while connected to the portable
computer (or other electronics device). If charged while connected to
the electronics device, charge time will take significantly longer than
when disconnected from the electronics device.
Only charge your PowerPad® 600C with an AC adapter, supplied by
Electrovaya.

600C. Using PowerPad® connection cable, connect AC
adapter to PowerPad® 600C and turn on and a beep will
sound once.
3. Check the charger display, it must show:

Electrovaya ("Electrovaya") warrants to the original purchaser ("Customer") this PowerPad® 600C product
and its components ("Product") to be in good working order under normal use and maintenance for a period
("Warranty Period") of twelve (12) months from the date of purchase for the battery component and six (6)
months from the date of purchase for any other components. During the Warranty Period, should the
product, in Electrovaya's sole opinion, malfunction due to any defect in material and/or workmanship, the
Customer's sole remedy and Electrovaya's sole liability shall be, at Electrovaya's option, to either repair or
replace the malfunctioning Product with a similar product at no charge or reimburse the purchase payment,
provided that the malfunctioning Product is returned, with proof of purchase in the form of the Customer's
original copy of the sales receipt, within the Warranty Period to the address specified hereon (the "Limited
Warranty"). If a replacement or repair product is issued, the Limited Warranty will apply to the replacement
or repair product with any remaining, applicable Warranty Period continuing to run from the date of the
original purchase. The Limited Warranty shall only be available to the Customer and not to any product that
has been transferred and no longer owned by the Customer.
This Limited Warranty is void if Electrovaya determines that the Product has been serviced by anyone other
that Electrovaya, or one of its authorized service centers, or if the Product is damaged from accident,
misuse, misapplication, abusive operation, improper use and/or insufficient care or has been operated
outside the parameters of the Safety and Instruction manual. THERE ARE NO EXPRESS OR IMPLIED
WARRANTIES, REPRESENTATIONS OR CONDITIONS OTHER THAN THOSE STATED IN THIS
LIMITED WARRANTY. This Limited Warranty is made in lieu of all other warranties, representations or
conditions, whether expressed or implied, including without limitation, merchantability or fitness for a
specific purpose. Some jurisdictions do not allow limitations on implied warranties, representations or
conditions, so the above limitations may not apply to the Customer. The remedy set forth herein shall be
the sole, exclusive remedy with respect to the Product. No person is authorized to make any other warranty
or representation concerning the performance of the Product or extend, or enlarge the Limited Warranty
contained herein.
Under no circumstances will Electrovaya be liable for any direct, indirect, special incidental or consequential
damages (even if Electrovaya is notified of the possibility of such damages) including, but not limited to, any
loss of revenue, loss of profit, or loss of data whether based upon any alleged breach of warranty,
representation or condition, contract, or any other conduct including negligence (intentional or otherwise),
giving rise to such claim. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or
consequential damages, so the above exclusion may not apply to the Customer. Electrovaya shall not be
liable for any claims made by a third party or made by the Customer for a third party. This Limited Warranty
is not transferable. No suit or action shall be brought against Electrovaya more than one year after the
accrual of the cause of action. This Limited Warranty gives the Customer specific legal rights and the
Customer may also have other rights, which vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.
