General Description
The SBP-1100e Smart Battery Power System is a rugged, state of the art, lightweight, high energy density, rechargeable,
portable power system that is an ideal solution for even the most demanding of applications. The SBP-1100e can be
used as a source of power for applications such as communications equipment as well as 1100 Energy’s infrared sig-
naling and marking products. Based upon Lithium-Ion battery cell chemistry, the SBP-1100e delivers power with much
less weight and bulk than traditional battery systems.
The SBP-1100e power output provides a regulated DC voltage for running various types of equipment for diverse appli-
cations. Capable of providing up to about 300 watts of power, the SBP-1100e can store up to 1100 watt-hours of energy
internally, of which up to about 1000 watt-hours can be delivered to an external load before a recharge is needed. The
system can power, for example, a 100 watt load for about ten hours, or lesser loads for proportionately longer periods of
time using its stored energy.
The SBP-1100e provides graceful degradation of performance in the event that one or more Lithium-Ion battery units
within the system should fail; the energy storage capacity will decrease proportionately, instead of resulting in system
failure.
The SBP-1100e power input is configured for direct charging by solar panels designed for charging 12-volt lead-acid
battery systems. The high-efficiency charging circuit is built-in. The SBP continues to power the application equipment
during solar charging; and afterwards, using the stored energy. In using input power available to the SBP-1100e, priority
is given to supplying power to the equipment load, and any additional input power which may be available is used to
charge the internal batteries, until the batteries are fully charged. So long as some stored energy in the SBP-1100e is
available to power the equipment load, fluctuations in the input voltage and power will not affect the load equipment.
The SBP-1100e may be charged from any continuous (filtered or low-ripple) DC power source of 10 volts to 28 volts,
capable of supplying 200 watts. Acceptable power sources include vehicle 12-volt or 24-volt DC power systems, AC-
powered DC power supplies and power adapters, and solar panels which are intended for charging 12-volt lead acid
batteries. Specifically, the SBP-1100e may be charged using portable solar panels manufactured by PowerFilm, or by an
AC power adapter, both provided by 1100 Energy. The AC adapter can be powered from any AC power source from 100
volts to 240 volts, 50 or 60 Hz, using a modular AC power cord. A modular cord for U.S. 120 volt outlets is provided. For
use with other types of AC outlets, the appropriate IEC modular power cord is required. Consult 1100 Energy concerning
other options for supplying charging and operating power to the SBP-1100e.
The SBP-1100e battery pack can be ordered with any fixed output voltage from 6 volts to 28 volts DC. The standard out-
put voltages are 13.8 volts and 25.3 volts, for use with equipment designed to run on vehicle power that ranges from
12 to 14 volts DC. The output voltage is fixed at the time of manufacture.
