charging time depends on the charge current but should not
exceed 60 minutes on most commercially available chargers.
- Automatically upon installation of a new battery.
Whenever an empty battery is swapped with a fresh battery, the
newly installed battery will restore the lost energy of
MVQUICKAB by charging its internal battery with a 120mA
current for a maximum time of 90 minutes. This will ensure that
a maximum of 180mAh will be replenished to the internal
battery.
This automatic partial charging is an efficient way to keep
MVQUICKAB fully charged even after several swaps.
It is however recommendable to fully charge MVQUICKAB on a
charger for first use, or prior to an extensive working session.
How to switch off / switch on
MVQUICKAB is shipped switched off to save internal power and it
also automatically enters in low power mode when not in use.
- How to switch on:
a) MVQUICKAB automatically switches on upon installation of
an external battery with a voltage > 12V. Note that when an
external battery is installed, MVQUICKAB is permanently on
and will never enter in low power mode.
b) By pressing the LED button to check the state, when an
external battery is not installed.
- How to switch off:
a) MVQUICKAB automatically switches off when an external
battery is not present for at least 60 minutes and the LED
button is not pressed during this period.
b) Switch off can be forced by removing the external battery
and pressing and holding the LED button for about 5 seconds
until the LEDs go off.
When MVQUICKAB is operating as the only power source,
regardless whether it is powering a device or not (meaning that no
external battery is installed), it will switch off after 60 minutes. To
avoid this, just press the LED button once to restart the countdown
and prolong the operating period.
It is preferable to switch off MVQUICKAB after a working session or
before storage to minimise the power consumption and self-
discharge.
