POWER SOURCE & CHARGING
3.1.
Battery
The battery is a nominal 12 Volt lithium polymer 22Ah (LiPo) battery pack.
Note: Restrictions apply to transporting this equipment on aircraft due to the lithium polymer
batteries having capacity greater than 100Wh. Please consult IATA Packing Instructions 967 and
CORE Lighting Ltd for further information.
3.2.
Power Supply Unit (PSU)
The unit may be operated by mains power continuously through the ‘Powercon’ connector.
The power input range is 100-240VAC at 50/60Hz so may be used worldwide.
The unit will enter charging mode when the unit is switched off then external power is applied (See
Section 3.3).
The electronics switches its power source based on the greater voltage of either power supply or
battery, so if the mains power is removed (in a power cut or generator failure) the PSU voltage drops
to 0 so the unit will switch over to battery power. This is useful as a backup light on power failure.
