Battery Technology And Recommendations - PowerBox Systems PowerBox 12 Operating Instructions Manual

POWER BOX 12
However, an alternative is to use the latest battery technology, i.e. Lithium-
Polymer cells. These lightweight cells are not problem-free in use, and if you wish
to use them we recommend that you employ our own make of Li-Po cells, com-
bined with a matching electronic circuit for safe charging.
Please note that Li-Po cells must not be connected directly to the receiving
system or the PowerBox 12 battery backer! The voltage of a two-cell Li-Po pack is
excessive, and must be reduced to the normal prescribed voltage for the receiver
and servos (max. 6.0 Volts) by means of a voltage stabiliser. We recommend our
linear voltage regulator, which is designed expressly for this task. It is light (9.5
grammes) and powerful (up to 10 Amps), and is simply connected between the Li-
Po pack and the PowerBox 12. Two voltage stabilisers are required: one for each
battery.
During the production process each battery backer undergoes a series of tests. We
take the maintenance of high quality standards very seriously, and this includes
bought-in items. That is why we are able to grant a 24 month guarantee on all our
battery backer systems. The guarantee covers proven material faults, which will be
corrected by us at no charge to you.
Misuse and mistreatment, such as excessive voltage, damp, external mechanical
influences or damage (crash damage) or inappropriate mounting (serious vibration)
invalidate the guarantee.
The guarantee does not cover any additional claims, such as consequent damage.
We do not accept liability for damage which is caused by the unit or its use, be-
cause we are unable to ensure that it is installed and operated in accordance with
our instructions.
