Rebelcell Outdoorbox 12.35 AV, User Manual

Page: 9 / 12

Introduction
Congratulations on the purchase of your Outdoorbox 12.35 AV or 12.50 AV (herafter ODB). The
ODB has been specially developed as portable energy source for recreation, watersports and angling
and is well suited for outdoor use and wet conditions.
The ODB comes with an integrated li-ion battery-pack with battery management system (BMS),
silicone wiring with automated thermal fuses, digital charge status indicator, blue ANEN connector,
12V cigarette plug connector. Also included: a separate USB charger and extra blue ANEN
connector.
Safety precautions and warnings
Your ODB has been engineered with a safe and long user life in mind. It is important to thoroughly
review this instruction and follow the safety precautions. Not doing so may invalidate the warranty
and result in the malfunctioning of your ODB and further damage.
•
Your ODB has been designed as a power source for recreation, watersports (including electric
boating) and angling but is explicitly NOT suitable to use as starter battery for internal combustion
engines (like in cars and outboards).
•
Only use the blue ANEN connector to connect your trolling engine to the ODB. NEVER connect
your trolling engine to the 12V socket, it is not suitable!
•
The ODB is waterproof according to the IP65 standard and is thus suitable for use in rainy
conditions. Please ensure that the ODB is completely closed and there is no dirt in between the
top and bottom parts of the ODB. Also ensure that the 12V power socket is never fully immersed
in water! This socket is splash waterproof if fully closed but cannot be fully immersed in water.
•
When used outside the permitted standards (e.g. high load) your ODB will automatically turn off.
No power will be available until the ODB can operate within standards.
•
Avoid damaging the ODB by dropping it. In case of external damage do not use your ODB but
have Rebelcell check for proper and safe operation.
•
Place the ODB in the coolest environment possible. Do not expose the ODB to sources of direct
heat such as (open) fire, heating or exposure to direct sunlight for extended periods of time.
Long-term use in high temperatures (> 40° C) has a negative influence on service life. At a
temperature of 55° C the ODB will shut down until a normal operating temperature is reached.
•
The ODB is classified as dangerous goods for transportation purposes (ADR Class 9). Review
the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) on our website for more information.
•
The battery-pack (including wires and fuses) is situated below the coverplate in the ODB. Never
remove the coverplate! This can be dangerous and will automatically void the warranty.
Installation and Use
•
Trolling engine: connect the 2 silver-colored pins (by soldering or crimping with a AMP crimping
tool) to the trolling engine cables and click into place in the blue ANEN plug. You can now easily
connect your trolling engine to the blue connector on the ODB.
•
Depth sounder: connect your depth sounder with a cigarette lighter plug to the 12V socket (like
with the Quick Connect FF ODB cable)
•
USB-equipment: connect the USB-charger (included) to the 12V socket to charge your
smartphone or tablet.
Other 12V equipment can be connected to the 12V socket (when discharge current is less than 10A)
or ANEN connector (when dicharge current is more than 10A and less than 50A).
Guidelines for use
Use with a trolling engine
The ODB can handle a continuous load of 50A.
As the ODB voltage remains nearly constant during
use (unlike a lead battery) you will notice that thrust also remains high and constant. This will allow
you to use your trolling engine in a lower gear which can significantly increase the runtime of your e-
motor. As the battery capacity indicator on your e-motor has been programmed for lead batteries it is
not reliable.
