SUPERCAPACITORS

The E1 Avalanche Airbag System is the first avalanche airbag that does not use lithium-ion or lithium polymer batteries to fuel the compressor's
electric motor.
The E1 System uses its SuperCapacitors to store energy in the form of an electrostatic field. Unlike traditional batteries, there is no need to
create a chemical reaction to generate energy, allowing the E1 System to release its power faster.
The E1's SuperCapacitors offer several advantages over batteries. They are not sensitive to changes in temperature, delivering the same
performance at -30 degrees C and +50 degrees C. This saves weight because, unlike batteries, there is no need to boost the SuperCapacitors
to guarantee outstanding performance at low temperatures.
While batteries tend to wear out after repeated charges, the SuperCapacitors stay strong. They are guaranteed for 500,000 charging cycles
with a nearly infinite lifespan, superior to the 3- to 5-year lifespan of the average battery. SuperCapacitors are considered passive electronic
elements, like cameras for example, so there are no restrictions on traveling, shipping or storage. This is a major advantage over traditional
batteries and compressed gas cartridge systems.
THE RADIAL COMPRESSOR
The E1 System uses a radial compressor, similar to turbo compressors found in cars. This design allows for high-speed air flow and inflation
pressure equal to compressed air cartridge avalanche airbag systems.
2 x AA BATTERIES
The E1 SuperCap System uses two AA batteries for two primary purposes:
1 to recharge the SuperCapacitors.
2 to guarantee that the SuperCapacitors keep their full power, compensating for their slow loss of charge and ensuring several months of
autonomy (see section below on autonomy).
Note: Only alkaline or lithium (AA batteries) should be used (for quick recharging at very low temperatures). Use brand new, premium quality
Alkaline AA / LR6 batteries.
WARNING Do not use AA zinc carbon batteries and NiCd or NiMH accumulators (rechargeable). These are often not strong enough to
sufficiently charge the SuperCapacitors.
Depending on the AA battery technology, recharge and autonomy can vary:
Alkaline batteries:
+ are capable of 1 recharge OR 3 months autonomy of normal use (1.5 months if constantly on).
+ it is strongly recommended to change the batteries after 1 recharge of the system.
Lithium batteries:
+ are capable of 3 recharges OR 5 months autonomy of normal use (3 months if constantly on).
+ it is strongly recommended to change the batteries after 3 recharges of the system.

MICRO-USB PORT

+ The micro-USB port (5V – 2A) makes it possible to recharge the SuperCapacitors using the USB / micro-USB cable provided.
+ Charging can be completed with a standard USB charger (not included). Recharging the SuperCapacitors with the micro-USB cable takes
priority over recharging via the 2 x AA batteries.
+ The SuperCapacitors can be recharged with the micro-USB cable even in the absence of the AA batteries.
AUTONOMY OF THE E1 SYSTEM
The system's autonomy depends on the quality and energy of the AA batteries and the frequency and duration of use in ON or OFF mode.
The instances listed below assume the use of high-quality alkaline batteries:
+ Approx. 2-3 months of autonomy with two new AA alkaline batteries not including recharge of the SuperCapacitors (new batteries
inserted after recharging the SuperCapacitors)
+ The system can be used without additional AA batteries. However, we strongly suggest to always use it with the batteries to ensure
extended autonomy.
If used without batteries and the LED status is flashing green, the autonomy is a minimum of 6 h.
