Turn the key to start your car as usual. 5. After starting, you can remove the cable from the unit and then remove the black clip (ground) and the red clip (positive) from the car battery. The sequence must always be observed, since noncompliance could otherwise result in a short circuit. NOTE Make sure that prior to starting the red and black clips are securely attached to the car‘s battery poles and that there is sufficient space between the clips such that they can not fall or touch each other due to the vibrations of the vehicle‘s engine. Failure to do so may result in a short circuit and damage the vehicle‘s electronics or even the PSU. The red and black clips must NOT come in direct contact with one another. That could otherwise result in serious accidents. While the car‘s engine is starting, make sure that you stay away to prevent any possible injury that may be caused by the running engine. Remove the equipment from the battery within 30 seconds after the car‘s engine has started, otherwise the PSU may be damaged or accidents can occur. Check the battery‘s capacity prior to every restart (make sure that the battery‘s capacity is more than 50 %, i.e. three battery segments are indicated). Persons (especially children), who are not familiar with the unit, are not permitted to use the car jump start assist function. 18 Instruction manual | LE5B – Portable Power Supply 8. Estimated running time Device current from the PSU • Smartphone (2-4 Wh) 100+ charge cycles • Tablet (25 - 42 Wh) 10+ charge cycles • Laptop (50 Wh) 8+ hrs. • Desktop computer (100 W) 4 hrs. • Mini refrigerator (30-60 W) 6-12 hrs. • 32“ LCD TV (98-156 W) 2-4 hrs. • Vacuum cleaner (200-300 W) 1-2 hrs. • Mixer/processor (200-300 W) 1-2 hrs. It is a good idea to check the wattage of your device if you want to determine how long the PSU is able to power it. Check the capacity for the individual output connections. For instance, the AC connection is monitored by a power inverter, which enables a continuous output of 300 W. That means if the device requires more than 300W of power over an extended period, the PSU‘s power inverter will switch off. As soon as you know that your device is compatible, you should determine how long you are able to operate your device with the aid of the PSU. Here is a quick guide: Watt hour (Wh) is the unit of battery capacity and measures the amount of power that can be stored after a full charge. It tells you whether your equipment is compatible with the respective charger. For instance, a 200 Wh battery should be able to power a 100 W lamp for 2 hours (200/100 = 2). If your equipment has a capacity of 390 Wh, you need to check the limitations of the output connections. NOTE The above data are to be used only as reference points. The approx. values were determined with an ambient temperature of 25 °C and fully charged battery. These values may vary, depending on the manufacturer of the electric device, unit, etc. Devices may not operate, even if the output of the power supply unit is below 300W, for certain types of electrical devices. In case of overload, the unit is switched off automatically and output is interrupted. In case of Plasma TVs, LCD TVs with screens greater than 41“, desktop computers, and other devices with high power consumption, as well as household devices with fluctuating power consumption or with power factor correction may not operate normally or at all, even if the their specified operating power is below 300W. 8.1 Charging while supplying power at same time The LE5B power supply unit may supply current during the charging process. During the charging process, the unit can also supply electric devices with current at the same time. 19 Instruction manual | LE5B – Portable Power Supply 9. Storage 1.

Storage Store the power supply unit only in a dry and dust-free environment which is out of reach of children. Suitable storage temperature: 0 to 40 °C. Keep out of direct sunlight. Make sure that the unit rests on a stable surface. 20 Instruction manual | LE5B – Portable Power Supply 10. Service life of lithium ion batteries Charge, supply current and store between 0 and 40 °C. Using the battery at temperatures exceeding the lower and upper limits reduces the battery‘s running time. Do not connect a continuous load of more than 300 W. The unit‘s output stops automatically in case of overloading, since it reduces the running time of the battery. Continue to charge the battery after it has charged completely. Pay attention to the indicated capacity. Do not charge the battery once it has been fully charged or the charging process has been concluded. This otherwise reduces the service life of the lithium battery. Switch off the unit if it is not being used. Unnecessary power consumption also reduces the running time of the lithium battery. Fully charge the battery prior to placing it in storage. Charge the power supply unit till its full prior to lengthy periods of non-use for storage and recharge the unit at least once a year. After prolonged storage, it may be necessary to charge and discharge the battery several times in order to reach full capacity. 21 Instruction manual | LE5B – Portable Power Supply 11.
