Until the unit is fully charged, the LED status will read half or no charge. Plug the TI3000 GPU-24 UAV into ac power to keep the cells charged whenever it is not in use, even if it is at Full Charge. -
Page 25: Section 4 - Post Operation
Section 4 – Post Operation 4.1 – General Although the TI3000 GPU-24 UAV has been ruggedized and made weather resistant within the scope of unit’s intended use, it is essential that good general care be taken to maintain unit in good operating condition and to maximize unit’s operational life. - Page 26 Guard From Incorrect Power Source The TI3000 GPU-24 UAV’s power cells may be damaged if recharged by NiCad or Lithium Ion battery chargers. Power cells should only be charged by either the TI3000 GPU-24 UAV’s internal charger and the ac power cord furnished with the equipment, or when connected to aircraft’s external dc power receptacle.

5. Will a Tesla™ Turbo Start™ spool up a turbine engine? Nothing will start a turbine engine faster or safer than the right Tesla™ Turbo Start™. Not only will it eliminate hot starts, but it will extend the life of your starter, your engine and your battery while reducing maintenance. The Turbo Start™ senses the impedance from the starter/generator. - Page 30 Unit should never be allowed to discharge fully. In-fi eld use, it receives a dc back charge directly from a running engine. When not in use, unit should be plugged into ac power (outlet) all the time. Tesla™ systems will retain 80% of their capacity after one year of storage.
