 To use this battery:
- The battery must be charged for minimum
three hours.
The user can use the wall receptacle
adapter or the cigarette
lighter charger in your car.
This makes it particularly
convenient for powering your DVD player during road trips.
 |
Once charged, the user must
identify the DC (Direct Current) voltage their devices uses. This is generally found on
the label that each device has on the back. Here is an example of a
Panasonic DVD player label. |
 |
Next, the user must find
the correct connector
by trying to plug it in the device. We recommend
plugging the connector in the device
before it is plugged in the Battery. |
The connector must be plugged in the cord correctly
in order to assure the correct polarity. Most devices are designed to take the positive
(+) in the middle and the negative (-) on the exterior of the plug. If unsure the can
consult the user manual or look for symbols on the original AC adapter. They might look
like this:
 |
If the Positive is in the center prong,
please align the "+" on the connector to the "TIP" inscription on the
cord. This will bring the positive
pole to the center. If the minus is needed in the center, please reverse the plug with the
"-" inscription aligned to the "TIP". |
 |
The last step is setting
the correct voltage on the output of the universal battery. This is a simply done by
setting the switch to the correct DC voltage determined above. You
may need to use a
sharp instrument for the switch movement. |
Your battery is ready for use. Please remember that the
Universal battery will act as an AC adapter to your device. If you have an internal
drained battery, this will be charged by the Universal battery, shortening the run time.
We recommend removing the drained internal battery. If that is not possible, we recommend
using the Universal Battery first, and then rely on the internal battery.
The battery is also designed with four LED's to act
like a fuel gauge. When all four are lit, the battery is full.
Here is the capacity based on different voltages:
- 3V- 12.0 AmpHour
- 4.5V- 8.0 AmpHour
- 5V- 7.2 AmpHour
- 6V- 6.0 AmpHour
- 7.5V- 4.8 AmpHour
- 9-12V- 4.0 AmpHour
For reference, an AA battery has about 1.8 AmpHour
at 1.5V. This can help calculating your expected run time. |
