Frequently asked questions.
What kind of battery is in this device?
The device does not contain a battery. It contains a Supercapacitor.
How is an Supercapacitor different than a battery?
An Supercapacitor contains NO LEAD. Unlike a battery, a Superca-
pacitor stores and releases energy using a physical process not a
chemical process like a battery. As a result, it does not suffer any of
the drawbacks associated with lead acid batteries.
What are some of the advantages a Supercapacitor has over a battery?
• Maintenance Free
• Unparalleled Power and Reliability
• Cycle life upwards of 1,000,000 cycles
• Recharge to 100% in as little as 30 seconds
• Extremely long life regardless of storage voltages
• Weighs up to 60% less than lead acid battery alternatives
What are some of the disadvantages a Supercapacitor has over a bat-
tery?
Supercapacitors are capable of large amounts of power but not energy.
As a result, Supercapacitors are not a good replacement for batteries
running energy demanding loads.
What is the difference between power and energy?
Power is how much can I give something. I.e.: Starting an engine
requires a lot of power but only for a short duration. Energy is how
long can I run something. I.e.: Running a radio, fan, or refrigerator
overnight. This requires a small amount of power but a large amount
of energy.
How long will the device hold a charge?
On average the device should hold a charge between 3 and 4 weeks.
What happens if the voltage in the device is very low or reaches zero
volts?
Nothing, just simply recharge the device. Storing the device at low
voltages does not effect its performance or life. Unlike battery pow-
ered devices, you do not have to keep the device constantly charged
above a set voltage.
Why does the device shut off on its own?
If more than 5 minutes pass with the unit connected to a vehicle, the
unit will automatically shut off and enter sleep mode. If the unit is left in
“ON” position longer than 10 minutes, the device will enter sleep mode.
To wake from sleep mode press the activation switch down.
What should I do to maintain the device?
Nothing except keep the cables and device in clean working order.
Avoid storing in direct sunlight, in extreme heat, or very moist areas.
