Plugging in with AC Power When the TI3560 12-24 GPU is plugged into ac power, the output is 28.5 volts. This voltage allows the system to recondition and recharge the vehicle’s battery(ies). It is also an optimum voltage for powering avionics and lighting on most aircraft. -
Page 28: Charging Unit
Until the unit is fully charged, the LED status will read half or no charge. Plug the TI3560 12-24 GPU into ac power to keep the cells charged whenever it is not in use, even if it is at Full Charge. -
Page 29: Section 4 - Post Operation
Section 4 – Post Operation 4.1 – General Although the TI3560 12-24 GPU 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 30 The TI3560 12-24 GPU’s power cells may be damaged if recharged by NiCad or Lithium Ion battery chargers. Power cells should only be charged by either the TI3560 12-24 GPU’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 34 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.
