Other Information About Charging Your Battery

Never leave the battery unattended for long periods of time while charging.
Do not charge below 32°F. Optimum ambient charge temperature is 40°F – 110°F.
Do not charge the battery if the charge cord or battery has obvious damage or if the battery appears to be bulging. A bulging battery is a potential sign of damaged lithium cells.
Do not charge the battery if it feels excessively hot. The battery should not reach more than 120°F while charging or discharging and should not feel hotter than a warm cup of coffee to the touch.

Charging Your Battery with the Optional 30 Watt Solar Panel

Battery line. It is soft and foldable, allowing easy portability for your adventures. The panel will provide up to 18V @ 1.5A. It is ideally suited for outdoor life and the unexpected power outage.
A. Open the solar panel and place it on a clean, dry, and flat surface in direct sunlight.
B. Plug the solar charge cord into the Type-C Input/Output Port on the battery using the included USB-C to 2.1mm adapter.
C. Charging will begin automatically.

B. The port(s) will automatically turn on and provide power to the connected device.
C. To turn off the device, simply unplug it from the power port.

Pass-Through Technology

The EXP48PRO and EXP96PRO are equipped with “Pass Through” technology. This allows you to charge devices connected to the battery while the battery is being charged. The battery will automatically detect a power outage and switch to battery power.
Please note to get the most life out of your EXP PRO battery, we suggest only using this option if there is concern about a potential power outage.

Parallel Connection of Batteries (Daisy Chaining)

You can parallel connect no more than two batteries by plugging in the provided DC charge cord to the charge port on one battery and the main power port marked 12V/15A on the other battery in order to double the available capacity.

Operating the White Light/Emergency Amber Flashing Light

White Light: Press and hold the power button to turn on. Press and hold the power button, again, to turn off.
Emergency Amber Flashing: Quickly press the power button twice to turn on. Quickly press the power button twice, again, to turn off.

Battery Management System (BMS)

The EXP PRO battery line has a built-in BMS that controls balanced charging and discharging of the individual Lithium cells contained within. It also provides protection from:

Over-Charging.
Over-Discharging.
Over-Current.
Over-Temperature
Short Circuit

If the BMS has been tripped to protect the lithium cells and has shut down the battery simply plug in the AC charge cord as if charging and the BMS will reset itself and resume normal operation.

Airline Travel

EXP48PRO:

Up to two of the EXP48PRO batteries can be brought with you in your carry-on luggage. While the FAA regulations state the limit is 160 watts, and the EXP48PRO only contains 153.6 watts per battery, ultimately the final decision rests with the TSA officer on whether an item is allowed through the checkpoint.

EXP96PRO:
The EXP96PRO contains 307.2 watts per battery and does not meet FAA regulations for airline travel. .

Please check current FAA regulations and the individual airline rules prior to airline travel. Do not put EXP PRO batteries or any other lithium batteries or devices containing lithium batteries in checked baggage of any type. If allowed by FAA regulations and individual airline rules only take in carry-on baggage. Current FAA regulations can be found on their website at www.faa.gov search “Pack Safe Lithium Batteries”. The major airlines list rules for lithium batteries on their websites.

Battery Storage

Your battery is initially packed and shipped at roughly 10-30% charge. It is best practice to fully charge your battery before the first use. For storage greater than 3 months, the general rule is to store at 40-50% of capacity, or having only 2 indicator lights lit. We have provided a “Notes” section for you to keep track of your battery maintenance.

Safe Use of Lithium Batteries

Never expose the battery to liquids, especially saltwater. This can cause internal corrosion and damage to the lithium cells and/or the BMS, causing them to malfunction.
Although the battery consists of a shock absorbing case, handle with as much care as possible to avoid dropping the battery. This can damage the lithium cells, or more likely the BMS, causing them to malfunction.
Never operate the battery in direct sunlight. This is hard on the BMS electrical components and the lithium cells.
Prolonged use in direct sunlight can damage the battery.

C. The port(s) will automatically turn on and provide power to the connected device.

Powering Your PAP Machine Using An Inverter (not included)

A. Plug the AC power cord included with the PAP machine into the AC outlet on a pure sine wave inverter.
B. Plug the inverter into the DC output port found on the battery. The inverter will convert DC power from the battery to AC power required for the factory AC power cord.
C. Please note that using an inverter will draw more of your battery power than just using a DC power cord.
D. To ensure the integrity of your PAP machine, please check with your PAP machine manufacturer regarding the type of inverter to use. Most manufacturers recommend a pure sine wave inverter as opposed to a modified sine wave inverter.

PAP Machine Runtimes

To get the most run time from the battery we recommend turning off all auxiliary features such as humidifier and heated hose if possible.
These features use a large amount of amperage and will draw most of the available power from the battery.
PAP machine nightly run times listed below for the EXP48PRO and EXP96PRO are figured using the average night sleep in the US of 7 hours and with auxiliary features turned off. Power requirements will vary greatly from one PAP machine to the next and with different prescribed pressure settings. We recommend you test your PAP machine with the battery prior to depending on it for emergency or off-grid power use. It is important that your mask fits properly. Air leakage will result in higher power consumption and reduced run times.
