USER MANUAL / ENGLISH
The Float E2 Airbag system is certified by TÜV Süd (Daimlerstr. 11, 85748 Garching bei München, Germany.) to meet the requirements of the EU regulation
(EU 2016 / 425).

SUPERCAPACITORS
The Float E2 Airbag system does not use lithium-ion or lithium polymer batteries to fuel the compressor’s electric motor.
The Float E2 Airbag system uses its supercapacitors to store energy in the form of an electrostatic field. Unlike traditional batteries, there is no need
to create a chemical reaction to generate energy, allowing the Float E2 Airbag system to release its power faster.
The Float E2 Airbag system supercapacitors offer several advantages over batteries. They are not sensitive to changes in temperature, delivering the
same performance at -30 degrees C and +50 degrees C. This saves weight because, unlike batteries, there is no need to boost the supercapacitors
to guarantee outstanding performance at low temperatures.
While batteries tend to wear out after repeated charges, the supercapacitors stay strong. They are guaranteed for 500,000 charging cycles with a
nearly infinite lifespan, clearly superior to the 3 to 5-year lifespan of the average battery. What’s more, the supercapacitors are considered passive
electronic elements, like cameras for example, so there are no restrictions to travel, shipping or storage. This is a major advantage over traditional
batteries and compressed gas cartridge systems.
THE RADIAL COMPRESSOR
The Float E2 Airbag system uses a radial compressor, similar to turbo compressors found in cars. This design allows for high-speed air flow and
inflation pressure equal to compressed air cartridge avalanche airbag systems.
AA BATTERIES
The Float E2 Airbag system uses two AA batteries for two primary purposes:
1- to recharge the supercapacitors
2- to guarantee that the supercapacitors keep their full power, compensating for their slow loss of charge and ensuring several months of autonomy
(see the section on autonomy).
Only alkaline or lithium (AA batteries) should be used (for quick recharging at very low temperatures). Use brand new, premium quality
alkaline AA / LR6 batteries.
Do not use AA zinc carbon batteries and NiCd or NiMH accumulators (rechargeable). These are often not strong enough to sufficiently charge the
supercapacitors.
Depending on the AA batteries technology, recharge and autonomy can vary:
