6.3 – Power Cell Recharge If your aircraft does not have a voltage lockout feature at the auxiliary power receptacle, the TI5676 MPU- 24 will back-charge from the aircraft’s Vdc. The TI5676 MPU-24 has an internal, independent, intelligent recharger that will enable the unit to rapidly recharge from either the aircraft’s generator or any 120-240 Vac 50/60Hz power source. - Page 27 The TI5676 MPU-24’s power cells may be damaged if recharged by NiCad or Lead Acid-type battery chargers. Power cells should only be charged by either the TI5676 MPU-24’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 33 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.
