4.1. Component Identification and General Operation *image may defer from actual unit based on product version and is subject to change at any time.
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 Batt Pack includes our Polarshield protection when using the system in sustained temperatures lower than 0°C [22°F] and will keep the battery warm.
The Batt Pack will not allow a discharge to occur after being fully depleted until the system has been charged passed 10%.
Battery Depletion – If the unit is left in the ON position, standby power will be drawn and slowly deplete the unit. This is especially dangerous when the pack has been fully depleted. Please ensure that the unit is charged after having been depleted.
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 monthly self discharge of 5-10% will occur and may damage a unit that has been left stored after being depleted.
Just as a car battery will be depleted and need to be replaced after prolonged storage with no charging, the Batt Pack will do the same. Always ensure that you charge the product after use and turn the unit off. A battery stored fully discharged may permanently damage the product. HPS is not responsible for batteries left depleted and these will not qualify for a warranty replacement.
WARNING: Do not plug in tools requiring in excess of 20A into the 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 and has caused an incident.
Using the Batt Pack as a UPS (uninterrupted 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.
WARNING: Always use appropriately sized extension cords and power bars that meet the requirements of your specific application.
Circuit Breakers: Located on the front of the Batt Pack are two (2) circuit breakers rated at 20A. These breakers will protect users and equipment from short circuits and power draws over 20A. To reset these, press in firmly. 4.2. 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 will lead to an error. As the system will acknowledge the imbalance. It may also delay achieving peak performance.
4.3. 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 of 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.
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.
4.4. 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.
4.5. Maintenance & Cleaning
WARNING: HPS does not recommend using a pressure washer to clean the unit as this may damage the internal components and void the warranty. Always make sure to turn OFF the unit when not in use and to keep the unit in a charged state 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.
4.6. Extreme Temperatures & Fan Operation
WARNING: Using the product in extreme temperatures, above 50°C and below -30 °C may reduce the total life cycles of the product. The warranty does not cover such usage.
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.
Fans operate when the internal temperature of the system is higher than 29°C.
This generally occurs in warmer climates and when the battery is being charged or is being discharged at a high-power output.
4.7. Starting Motors
Please exercise caution when powering motors with the Batt Pack. 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 10,000W is only sustained for 10ms 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.
4.8. Dusty Environment
In dusty environment, please use additional filters that can be ordered via Hybrid Power Solutions’ products on our website, hybridps.ca
This filter is to be inserted in the main air intake. It should only be used in dusty location and removed afterwards.
This filter lowers the cooling efficiency of the unit and should only be used when dust is present in the air. After use, wash with warm water and let dry for a minimum of 24 hours.

Section 5 SOLAR PANEL PURCHASING + WIRING GUIDE

5.1. Solar Panel Purchasing Guide
What you will need:

| Batt Pack Energy| Batt Pack Pro
---|---|---
Maximum total panel power| 1,600W| 5,500W
Panel Voltage| 30-60V DC| 125-320V DC
Recommended Wire Gauge| 10AWG
Connector Type| MC4

5.1.1. How to choose cable
Cable selection is based on required distance from panel to Batt Pack. All 10AWG Solar Extension Cables with a MC4 connection are compatible with the Batt Pack.
Please ensure you purchase a pair of cables; 1x for positive and 1x for negative.
Please minimize cable length to ensure minimal voltage drops.
5.1.2. How to choose your panel
The panel size should be based on power you will consume over a 24h period. You can work this out by multiplying the rated power of the equipment you are using, by the amount of time it is to be used in a 24h period.
Example: Equipment: 1 computer, 1 LED light, 1 LED 32” TV

Computer: 8h of operation at 50W	= 400Wh
LED Light: 24h of operation at 12W	= 288Wh
LED 32” TV: 3h of operation at 55W	= 165Wh
TOTAL	= 853Wh consumed in 24h

Approximate amount of hours of sun: 8h
Solar Panel Wattage Required = (Wh Consumed / hours of sun) / 0.6
Solar Panel Wattage Required = (853 / 8h) / 06 = 178W
This value corrects for solar charger inefficiencies and other losses.
Therefore, we would recommend 200W of solar panels for this specific situation (2x100W). Note that some devices may not run at their rated power, such as tools.
These likely operate at a much lower average power draw (2/3 of the rated power can be used). Also, appliances such as fridges may also be intermittent as the power is only drawn when cooling, which can be 10-40% of the time.
5.2. Solar Panel Wiring Guide
Warning: Please, note that the Batt Pack uses a high-voltage solar input that may cause electrocution and death. Please ensure a qualified electrician installs and wires solar panels to your Batt Pack following all local laws and regulations.

Section 8v MULTIPURPOSE DC INPUT MANUAL

8.1. Technical Specifications – DC Charging

Power	850W
Input Voltage	12VDC*
Max Input Draw	65A
Suggested Disconnect	Battery isolator 80A minimum

*24VDC version available via special order.

8.2. Input Source
The alternator charging system allows for various DC inputs to charge the Batt Pack.
The system will draw all available amperage up to 850W and is not current limited.
It is therefore essential that the source has a current limiting device or allows for the maximum charging capability (up to 65A on 12V battery).
The following power sources are some examples of power inputs:

12V battery
Vehicle battery connected to alternator
Wind turbine with wind turbine charger (may not be compatible with all models)
Solar charger (may not be compatible with all models)

8.2.1 High Speed Vehicle Charger Charger Mounting Pattern 8.2.2 Vehicle Charger 8.3. Fusing
A fuse is built into the cigarette lighter version of the vehicle charger. The fast charger has an external fuse included with the kit and should be used during installation. This ensures that the system is protected from a short circuit on the input wire. The fuse should be placed as close as possible to the input DC power source.
8.4. Source Low Voltage Protection
The charger is designed to stop charging when the vehicle is off but dependent on battery type and system configuration, this may not be the case for all situations.
Adding an additional low voltage protection such as an isolator or solenoid provide an additional layer of protection. The ACC (accessory) circuit may also be used to turn ON and OFF the charger via an external switch or using the vehicle ON circuit (as shown on the “Charger Mounting Pattern“ on page 44). HPS is not responsible for any damage caused to external inputs or power sources. If the minimum voltage threshold for the input battery is above 12V, a battery isolator should be used.
Please see the diagram in the next section. A low voltage disconnect rated for the appropriate amperage may also be used. 8.5. Battery Isolation
If the input source can be overdrawn by the Batt Pack, a battery isolator should be used to protect this input source. The following is the general wiring for a battery isolator, but specific instructions are provided by the chosen isolator manufacturer.
This is an additional option to section 8.5
8.6. Combined Charging Methods
It is possible to charge the Batt Pack from multiple power sources. For example, the multi- purpose input as well as the standard wall charger may be used simultaneously. In this case, input from the wall charger may be limited if the battery temperature is elevated. In certain scenarios, the multipurpose DC input may be turned off when approaching the final steps of the battery charging process. The rapid charging process from combined source may lower the number of available battery cycles.
