SANTI 24Ah battery

Product specification

SANTI 24Ah battery is based on modern Li-Ion cells, with high discharge current. The battery is designed to supply power to SANTI heated apparel (undersuit, vest, gloves). It may also be used as power source for flashlights.
Total power of connected devices cannot exceed 200W. Those devices must be designed to be powered with 10.8-12V input.

Estimated operating time for power supply of individual components:

heated undersuit (110W): 2h30min ~ 3h
heated vest (55W): 5h ~ 6h
heated gloves (36W): 9h ~ 10h
undersuit with gloves: 2h ~ 2h15min
vest with gloves: 3h15min ~ 3h45min

The battery is equipped with a number of safety features to protect against overdischarge, overcharge, overload and short circuit. On the enclosure there is E/O cord connector, piezo switch and overpressure valve. There is also a belt loop (no need for clamps) on the side of the housing. One touch is enough to turn the battery on, which is indicated by built-in blue LED on the E/O cord connector. After each switch-on power status is presented.

Battery charge indicator:

Number of flashes emitted by blue LED indicates the battery charge level.

3 LED flashes stand for 60%-100%
2 LED flashes stand for 30-60%
1 LED flash stands for < 30%
No LED light – fully discharged

After power level check the battery resumes standard mode, what is indicated by constant LED light.

Operating recommendations:
The battery should be connected to heated apparel with use of SANTI connector or SANTI thermovalve by the E/O cord connector. If the battery is not in use, it should be switched off and dummy placed (delivered) put on E/O cord.
The chipset controlling the the status of the battery draws a small amount of energy; therefore, after a long break, connect the battery to the charger to check the charge level and, if necessary, recharge the battery. It is also recommended not to leave the battery discharged for more than 6 months.
Due to electrolysis process, it is suggested that battery should not remain in the water when no power consuming equipment is connected.

Transport:

This battery is UN Test 38.3 certified to meet transport safety standards for Lithium Battery.
The certificate can be downloaded from SANTI website www.SANTIdiving.com
Despite this certification, the battery may be considered as a dangerous item, that is why airline may refuse it to be carried in the aircraft.
SANTI DIVING is not responsible for these instances. Always check all applicable local, national, and international regulations before transporting a Lithium-Ion battery. Transporting an end-of-life, damaged, or recalled battery may, in certain cases, be specifically limited or prohibited.
During transportation it must be switched off and dummy plug must be on E/O cord connector.

Charging:
Charge the battery with the supplied battery charger using E/O cord connection cable. Plug the charger to a power source 100-240V. LCD screen lights up blue showing 12,6V as the value of the charging voltage. Next, connect the battery to the charger, through the connector E/O cord. Display at the charger turns red showing the percentage of the battery charge. When the battery is fully charged, the LCD backlight will change to blue indicating 100%.
When the charging process is finished, disconnect the battery and power source.
The charger has also a USB output for charging other portable devices such as a cellphone or tablet (1A).
