RECHARGE

AC Charging (Default)

(Charge B230 through T500 adapter)

Estimation of Charging Time: 2048Wh / 500W(T500 adapter) + (0.5 – 1 Hrs Trickle Charging) = 4.6-5.1Hrs for AC200MAX fully charged via T500 adapter only.
Estimation of Running Time: 2048Wh / 96W(MacBookPro) 0.9(DoD) 0.9( η ) = 17 Times.
DoD indicates Depth of Discharge.
η indicates efficiency.
Expansion Charging 01

(Recharge AC200MAX by T500 adapter)

SOC-A: the remaining capacity of AC200MAX
SOC-B: the remaining capacity of the B230 battery pack
When SOC-A = SOC-B, both of the two units will be charged simultaneously.
When SOC-A ＜ SOC-B, AC200MAX will be charged first by all power sources in the Capacity Fusion System until SOC-A = SOC-B, then both of the two units will be charged simultaneously.
When SOC-A ＞ SOC-B, only AC200MAX will be recharged.
Expansion Charging 02

(T500 adapter on B230)

When SOC-A = SOC-B, both of the two units will be charged simultaneously.
When SOC-A ＜ SOC-B, B230 will be charged by an exterior power source(eg.T500 Adapter), AC200Max will be charged by B230.
When SOC-A ＞ SOC-B, B230 will be charged first by all power sources in the Capacity Fusion System until SOC-B = SOC-A, then both of the two units will be charged simultaneously.

AC200MAX + B230 EXTRA BATTERIES

Step 1: Turn ON/OFF B230.
Step 2: Press the button(a) and fully plug Battery Expansion Cable into
the battery port of AC200Max.
Step 3: Push forward the switch(b) to lock the connection.
