CONFIGURATION

Section 3

Overview

The Batt Pack Jupiter is an industrial, high-performance, weather resistant lithium-ion battery pack that is designed to be safe and easy to operate.
Designed to deliver the full potential of batteries by delivering 7,000W of power. With an average life cycle of 5 to +10 years (depending on usage).

Technical Specifications of the Batt Pack Jupiter

Battery Specifications

*Optional cold weather package available at additional charge. Allows for charging at -20 °C to + 45 °C (-4 °F to 113 °F).

Power Restrictions
The Jupiter unit can output 7000VA continuous and a maximum of 12000VA for 0.2 seconds through its three outputs (one 240VAC and two 120VAC). The 240VAC plug can output 7000VA Continuous (240VAC being used solely), while the 120VAC plugs can output 3500VA each (when only the 120VAC plugs in use). The maximum output per 120VAC plug should be limited to 20A continuous based on plug rating. In the case that the 240VAC plug and one 120VAC plug is being used, the continuous power available to the 120VAC plug can be calculated using the following equation:

In the case that this power draw is exceeded, the unit will beep stating that it is overloaded (above 3500VA). The unit will still operate but for only for a limited period. In the case that all three plugs are used the combined total output should be 7000VA and the unit will beep if the combined total exceeds 7000VA.

Batt Pack Jupiter General Dimensions

OPERATION

Section 4

General Operation

• The plug cover should always be used to protect the plug from corrosion and other environmental factors.
• The system should always be left in the OFF position when not in use. In the ON position, very little power is consumed but will slowly deplete the battery. HPS recommends always turning off the Batt Pack when not in use.
• When using the system in cold temperatures (below 0°C), discharge power may be limited and run time can be affected by up to 40%. The product will naturally warm itself with usage and improve capabilities. For maximum capacity and performance, ensure the Batt Pack is stored at room temperature (25°C) then brought out into colder climates. A cold weather package can be purchased when ordering and is recommended when charging and discharging in sustained temperatures lower than -5°C.
• The Batt Pack will not allow a discharge to occur after being fully depleted until the system has been charged to passed 10%.
• Master disconnect switch – A master disconnect switch is installed on the Batt Pack series to further protect the integrity of the battery while in storage.
• When in use, the master disconnect switch should be turned ON and left ON.
• The master disconnect switch should be in OFF position when the unit is stored inactive for extended periods of time.
• The battery should always be stored fully charged with the master disconnect switch in the “off” position.
• The unit should be charged at a minimum interval of 3 months. Please note that the gauge will not show any reduction in energy level, even though a minor discharge did occur.
• A battery stored fully discharged may permanently damage the product.
• WARNING: Do not plug in tools requiring in excess of 20A into the 120VAC plug and 30A for the 240VAC plug. This can cause; damage, shock, injury and/or death. Please use caution when operating tools in wet conditions as this may lead to electrical shock, injury and/or death. HPS is not responsible for damaged or faulty equipment that has been plugged into the Batt Pack Jupiter and has caused an incident.
• Using the Batt Pack as a UPS (uninterpretable power source): Always ensure the power button is left in the ON position and the charging port is connected to a main power source (15A circuit minimum). Plug all loads into the output port.
• This will ensure that if the power from the mains is interrupted, your devices will not be affected. Note that this does use the equivalent of 5-20 battery cycles per month.
• WARNING: Always use appropriately sized extension cords and power bars that meet the requirements of your specific application.

Break in Period

• WARNING: Although the battery system is delivered balanced, below advertised performance may be present during the first 5 cycles (charge and discharge). As the cells in the battery module equalize to within +/- 0.01V. This is completely normal and is the nature of Lithium ion batteries. Use the unit as normal but do acknowledge this break in period.
• Ideally during this break in period, HPS recommends the unit be charged to 100%, then left on the charger for +2 hours afterwards. This will give the cells a chance to balance in order to achieve optimal performance. We also recommend not to discharge past 25%. This recommended break in habit is to insure optimal performance as quickly as possible.
• Not following this break in recommendation will not damage the system but may lead to the gauge back-light turning off (indicating an error). As the system will acknowledge the imbalance. It may also delay achieving peak performance.

Recharging Guide and Storage

• Charge using a regular single ended extension cord rated for 15A minimum. Always charge the unit on a dedicated electrical circuit. HPS recommends a minimum 12AWG extension cord. Do not use adapters for charging purposes and do not run the extension cord off a power bar.
• After the break in period concludes, charge and discharge as desired.
• Charge Batt Pack within 72 hours of complete discharge with power button off.
• If the master disconnect switch is always left ON, charge a minimum of once a month in order to ensure the energy level does not fall to damaging levels.
• It is safe to leave the Batt Pack plugged into the charger for extended periods of times as long as the power button has been turned OFF.
• The battery can be charged with the power button either ON or OFF. We recommend keeping the system in the OFF position when not being discharged, as an energy saving practice.

Transporting and Shipping

If shipping units is required, please ensure to list the Batt Pack with your shipper as a hazardous goods and follow all required precautions and regulations. The Batt Pack is a UN38.3 certified, class UN3481 (lithium ion battery in equipment). It is the shipper’s responsibility to ensure all paperwork and required packaging is in order. HPS can help guide you through the process.

Maintenance & Cleaning
WARNING: HPS does not recommend using a pressure washer to clean the unit as this may damage the internals and void the warranty. Always ensure that the plug caps are closed, and the system is OFF when washing.
Always make sure to turn OFF unit when not in use and to keep the unit in charged state.
No user maintenance is required. Periodic system checks can be performed by an authorized HPS representative.

Extreme Temperatures & Fan Operation

• Using the product in extreme temperatures, above 45°C and below -20°C may reduce the total life cycles of the product. The warranty does not cover such usage.
• We always recommend charging the Batt Pack Jupiter in temperatures above 0°C. Charging below this may reduce cycle life.
• Note that performance may be affected in temperatures under 0°C. Run time can be reduced as well as available power.
• To improve performance in cold weather scenarios, HPS suggests storing and charging the system at room temperature before exposing to cold temperatures. An optional cold weather package is also available at the time of purchase and is recommended for sustained conditions under -5°C.
• Fans operate when the internal temperature of the system is higher than 36°C. This generally occurs in warmer climates and when the battery is being charged or is being discharged at a high-power output.

Starting Motors
Please exercise caution when powering motors with the Batt Pack Jupiter. Most motors require 2-3 times their continuous operating amperage at start up. Certain motors may require more amperage than can be produced. Note that the surge power of 12,000kVA is only sustained for 20ms and may not be long enough for some motors. Motors with a soft start feature may help to reduce this inrush current.
Please note that Hybrid Power Solutions Inc. is not responsible for damaged tools, equipment or electronics.

Dusty Environment
A dust and water filter is included for both the intake and exhaust. If working in dusty environments for extended periods of time, it may be necessary to clean the air filter. An HPS authorized distributor or Hybrid Power Solutions will be able to assist with this.
