Super high capacity, long run time, external rechargeable universal battery pack. Made with high quality Panasonic Li-ion battery cells.  


Features:

1. Super high capacity: 188 Watt-hour, or 52,200mAh if rated as other brand external batteries on market that just simply add all battery cells Amp-hour together. It may add extra 6 ~ 12 hours for most laptop computers. (This is a rough estimate. Actual running time varies, depending on notebook computer's configurations and what kind of applications running.) Its 19V DC output can be used to power and charge laptop notebook computers and tablet PCs that require 18V ~ 20V DC power. It has up to 2~3 times battery run time (188 Watt-Hour capacity, compared to 40~90 Watt-Hour capacity  of most notebook computer batteries.)


Vertical Base is optional, not included.

VESA Mount Kit is available as an option. You can use the VESA mount kit to hold the battery on back of LCD monitor, side of desk or any place you like.


2. This battery also has a 5V USB port. It can power and charge Cell phones, PDAs and other electronic devices that can be powered from 5V USB ports.

Through the 5V USB port, this battery can provide 100  hours talk time/internet time for iPhone (iPhone cable and connector not included. 900 hours for mp3 player & 1800 hours for eBook (Use the 5V USB port)


3. On/Off Switch: The "On/Off" switch on the battery front not only provides convenience, it is also specially designed to provide safety protection: when the battery switch is turned on and output cable is plugged, the battery will output power to output cable. However, the battery will not be turned on if it detects no output cable is plugged even the On/Off switch is turned on. This way, even you forget to turn off the battery switch after the unplug the cable, the battery will turn off by itself. If the "On/Off" switch is accidentally turned to "On" without notice, the battery will still keep in "Off" mode if no output cable is plugged in the output port.

Although the BP160 is called external lithium-ion battery pack, it may be more accurate to consider it as a smart power supply that powers from lithium battery cells. Unlike a traditional battery pack, which may just simply connect battery cells together in serial or parallel with simple protection, the BP160 has following unique features:

1. Strong, impact resistant outer casing.
2. Fully functional electronic board inside to control the input voltage and current that actually applied to battery cells when in charging mode.
3. Built-in DC to DC converter to supply regulated stable power at different user selectable voltages.
4. On/off switch. The power pack will only turn on when both output cable is plugged in the output port and the on/off switch is turned on. This will effectively prevent the power pack to be activated accidentally.
5. Many safety protection functions such as Over-charge protection, Over-discharge protection, Over current protection, Over temperature protection, Short circuit protection.

    * Battery Capacity Rating:  159 Watt-hour (Wh) capacity means the battery can theoretically last 188 hours if the device it powered only needs 1 Watt power, or 1 hour if the device need 188W power. A typical 6-cell internal notebook battery capacity is about 49 Watt-hour. A typical 12-cell internal notebook battery capacity is about 98 Watt-hour.

    There are many different ways to rate a battery capacity on market. If we rate this battery capacity like some other brand external batteries on market that just simply add all battery cells Amp-hour capacity together, then this battery capacity is 44000mAh. This may be a little confusing. We suggest using "Watt-hour" instead of "Amp-hour" to compare capacities of different batteries. Watt-hour or Wh, is a more accurate unit to show the power capacity than Amp-. Hour (Ah) that was used before. The Watt-Hour unit means the wattage that the battery can provide within one hour.





    IN -- Battery input port for connecting to battery charger
    OUT -- Battery power output port, connect to output cord.

Different laptop/notebook computer needs different battery.
     Other usage  Can provide 12V and 19V DC power for other electronic devices also. can only be used for designed laptop/notebook computers.


    How to use this battery:

    1. Charge the battery: This battery has it own battery charger, you can charge it from any 110V or 220V AC power source with the included AC Charger. You can also charge the battery from a car cigarette lighter with the included Car Charger, or charge the battery from sun with optional solar panel.



    Solar Panel is optional, NOT included.

     Although the battery can be charged while it is in use, we recommend to charge battery while it is not in use. This will charge the battery better and faster.

    2. Set the battery output voltage:
    After the battery has been fully charged, set the voltage output of the battery close to your notebook DC power input requirement (which is same as your notebook AC power adapter's DC output voltage).

    This battery has a switch to set the voltage output at 12V or 19V. 12V is compatible with 11V~13V, 19V is compatible with 18V~21V.

    Slide the switch up to top to set 19V output.
    Slide the switch down to bottom to set 12V output.

    If your device DC power input requirement is  11V ~ 13V or 18V ~ 21V, you can  use the output cable to power your device directly from the battery Out port like this:



    If  you have a car charger for your device, you can use this battery together with your car charger to power your device. To do so,  set the battery output voltage at 12V, use an optional Cigarette Lighter Socket Adapter to convert the battery output port to a cigarette lighter socket like this:

    4.  Plug the connector and output cord

    After select right connector, plug it on the Z6 output cord, then plug output cord to the battery output port:

       
     
    Just that simple, now you are ready to use it !

    Note: If your notebook internal battery is a working battery and has been fully charged, you can leave it in your notebook. Otherwise, we recommend you removing the internal battery from your notebook to maximize the external battery running time.The external battery will still work fine if you leave non-charged internal battery in the notebook, but it may not reach the maximum running time since it needs to charge the internal battery at same time when it is powering the computer.

    How long can this external battery run ?

    This battery's capacity is about 159Wh(Watt-hour):
    you can compare this battery's capacity with your internal battery capacity to figure out how long this battery can run your notebook. For example, if your notebook internal battery output is: 10.8V & 4000 mAh, then, your notebook internal battery capacity is:

    11.1V x 4400 mAh = = 49 Wh (Watt-hour).

    This external battery capacity is about 150/49=3 times of your internal battery capacity.

    If your internal notebook battery can run 2 ~ 3 hours, then the external battery pack can theoretically run about :  6 ~ 9 hours.

    This is a rough estimate. Actual running time varies, depending on notebook computer's configurations and what kind of applications running . For example, screen brightness, the use of the CPU, the hard drive, the CD drive, and other peripherals results in an additional drain upon the battery, effectively reducing the battery's run-time. The total run-time of the battery is also heavily dependent upon the design of the notebook. To ensure maximum performance of the battery, optimize the computer's power management features. Refer to the computer manual for further instructions.

    Combine 2 ( or more) batteries together to provide more running time:



    If you need more running time, you may connect 2 batteries together in parallel with BiXPower Y25 Split Connector :


    Y25 Split Connector Not Included

    Cautions: To link two batteries in this way, please make sure:

    1. The output voltage of two batteries is set at same.

    2. Any single battery has ability to power the powered device by itself.


    The purpose of link two or more batteries together is to provide longer running time without interruption. There this no balance control between two batteries . One battery may output more power than another battery and run out of power earlier than another battery. This will not be a problem if a single battery output power is enough to run powered device. However, if the powered device power demand is more than a single battery capability, it may run to problem when one battery run out of power earlier.

    Notes: Only a few BiXPower batteries ( such as BP90, BP100, BP160 and BP220 batteries) have been specially designed to allow multi batteries to connect in this way. Other batteries may not be allowed to be connected together in this way (unless specially mentioned).

    You may also use multi Y25 Split Connectors to Daisy Chain more batteries to provide even more power. Please make sure all batteries output voltages are set at same. Fully charge each battery separately before connect them together.

    The battery regular Z6 output cable can fit Y25 connector female end, which will be combined output port in this case. You may use BiXPower Special Cable with On/Off Switch : which can be used power output cable directly without battery regular Z6 output cable.
