Monitoring functions
The intelligent Gifas Battery Management System protects the Li-ion battery from high temperatures,
overcharging and deep discharges, thereby giving it an especially long service life.
3.5.1
Lamp head temperature control
As the head can become very hot when operating at maximum performance in areas with a high ambient
temperature, it is equipped with a temperature monitor.
If the maximum permissible lamp head temperature of 65° C is exceeded, the light intensity is reduced until the
light head cools down. Following this the brightness will be restored to the last set value.
3.5.2
Battery temperature control
The device switches the battery off before it overheats: The light does not function below -20° C and above +45°
C. The light cannot be charged below 0° C and above +45° C.
3.5.3
Deep discharge protection
The Li-ion battery comes with electronic deep discharge protection, which ensures the battery is never fully
discharged. This protects it from irreparable damage.
Recharge the discharged battery after use whenever possible.
If the battery has undergone deep discharge due to a very long storage time without recharging, the charging
indicator does not function briefly, even though the battery is charging in the station. The indicator appears after
a few minutes, however.

Charging station
The emergency light function can be activated by positioning the magnet.
Emergency light ON:
Factory setting
If the supply voltage of the charger fails, the lamp switches to emergency lighting.
Emergency light OFF: If the supply voltage of the charger fails, the light remains switched off. Recommended
for charging from a car battery.
In the 12-24V version for use in vehicles, the light draws its power from the electrical
system, which causes the car battery to discharge more when the vehicle engine is
switched off.
