FEATURES

RECHARGE

AC Charging (Default)

(Charge B230 through T500 adapter)

Estimation of Charging Time: 2048Wh / 500W(T500 adapter) + (0.5–1 Hrs Trickle Charging) = 4.6-5.1Hrs for AC200MAX fully charged via T500 adapter only.

Estimation of Running Time: 2048Wh / 96W (MacBook Pro) *0.9(DoD) * 0.9(η) = 17 Times.

DoD indicates Depth of Discharge. η indicates efficiency.

Expansion Charging 01

(Recharge AC200MAX by T500 adapter)

SOC-A: the remaining capacity of AC200MAX

SOC-B: the remaining capacity of B230 battery pack

When SOC-A = SOC-B, both of the two units will be charged simultaneously.

When SOC-A

When SOC-A > SOC-B, only AC200MAX will be recharged.

Expansion Charging 02

(T500 adapter on B230)

When SOC-A = SOC-B, both of the two units will be charged simultaneously. When SOC-A

When SOC-A > SOC-B, B230 will be charged first by all power sources in the Capacity Fusion System until SOC-B = SOC-A, then both of the two units will be charged simultaneously.

AC200MAX + B230 EXTRA BATTERIES

Step 1: Turn ON/OFF B230.

Step 2: Press the button(a) and fully plug Battery Expansion Cable into the battery port of AC200Max.
