Dear 

PowerBox

 pilot,

We are delighted that you have chosen a power supply system from the 

Po-

werPak

 series. These high-quality energy storage units combine maximum 

power density and security in a rugged, compact case. 

PowerPaks

 are very 

flexible: thanks to the mounting frame supplied as standard, they are easy to 

install, and can be swapped between models.

The 

PowerPaks 2.5X2

 are available in two versions: 

ECO

 and 

PRO

. The two 

variants differ only in the charging technology – the performance of the cells 

is always the same. The 

PRO

 version features integral charging circuitry and 

a voltage monitor, whereas the 

ECO

 version is charged using a conventional 

Li-Ion charger. Balancers are standard in both versions.

The self-discharge feature originally fitted is to be discontinued as of Winter 

2018, this function is now handled by the supplied 

BattLife Guard

!

We hope you have years of pleasure and success with your 

PowerPak

.

integral charge / security electronics (PRO version)

Li-Ion batteries

 

two different versions:
