2 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The UKT0011, Battery Box and Charger System, is designed to be a source of power for
end use devices that runs on a 120VAC or 22-33VDC input voltage. The UKT0011 consists of
a CH0028 Battery Box and a CH0027 Charger Box that provides a portable power system that
will deliver primary 24 to 33VDC power through the system, while keeping the batteries at full
charge to provide backup power (81.8Ah @ 250W) from the Battery Box in the event of a
primary power failure.

2.1 Equipment Provided

 UKT0011

o CH0027 - CHARGER, 12 POSITION BATT BOX
o CH0028 - BATTERY, BOX, 12 POSITION
o UCA0042 - CABLE, BATT CHARGE, A-KEY
o Contact Ultralife for additional available accessories

2.2 Functional Description

The CH0028 utilizes twelve smart UBI-2590 (i.e. UBBL10) style batteries to provide the
end user with accurate state of charge information via a 2-digit display on the battery box front
panel. The use of the Ultralife Smart Batteries also enables a user software application access
to the battery state-of-charge and status information through an Ethernet interface.

The CH0027 Charger system accepts either AC or DC input power and provides both
battery charge and shore power capabilities to the CH0028. If shore power is not being
provided (no external load on the CH0028 battery box) the charger will fast charge a fully
depleted battery box populated with twelve Ultralife Smart Batteries in less than 6 hours. If the
shore power is being used, the charger will provide shore power through the battery box and
provide a trickle charge to the battery box, charging it fully in under 12 hours.

If a Battery Box is in use without connection to a powered Charger Box, the Battery Box
will go into power conservation mode 5 minutes after reaching a 0% state of charge.

Contact Ultralife for information on cable options and accessories.
