Internal Battery System
Using internal batteries, no external power connections are required. When the GSA Unit is
connected to an external power source, the internal batteries will automatically charge with
power on or off. Fully discharged batteries may require five to ten minutes of charge prior to
laptop and peripheral operation, if the case is being used at the same time that it is charging
(connected to external power). To fully recharge the drained batteries, then they require 8 to
10 hours.
NOTE: All batteries have a limited life expectancy. Depending upon
patterns of use and charging of the case batteries, the GSA unit should be
sent back to the manufacturer every 18 to 36 months for replacement.
D/C-To-A/C Power Inverter
The D/C-to-A/C power inverter connects to the case through the GSA Unit power inverter
connector, which is colored green (shown in
Figure 5 ). The D/C plug connects to the D/C
power supply connector labeled Inverter PWR on the green panel. The range of D/C input to
the inverter is between 10 to 15 volts DC at 5 amperes. The inverter can accept any standard,
three-prong plug. The output generated by the inverter is 115 volts A/C.
NOTE: The maximum A/C wattage the inverter can safely supply is 30 Watts.
Any more than this has the potential to damage the inverter. Don’t hook your
hairdryer, shaver, or any other high wattage draw items to the inverter!
