Page 25: Section 4 - Post Operation
Section 4 – Post Operation 4.1 – General When not in use, the TI4676 MPU-24 should be stored indoors guarded from moisture and extreme temperatures. To extend cell life, the TI4676 MPU-24 should be plugged into AC power source. Although the unit has been made weather resistant within the scope of the unit’s intended use, it is essential that... - Page 26 The TI4676 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 TI4676 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 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.
