7. To save energy and to reduce maintenance charging,
the display turns itself off automatically 10 minutes
after charging is completed (“complete”). By pressing
any button, the display can be switched on again (for
another 10 minutes).
8. You can now disconnect the charger from the SEABOB
(first pull the power plug from the outlet, then pull the
connector from the SEABOB connection port).
The charger and connector can get hot
while charging and thus cause injury. After you have fin-
ished charging, let the charger and connector cool down
before you touch them.
9. After the charger is disconnected from the SEABOB,
the system switches off completely (switches to the
Off mode) after 5 seconds (system check) if pro-
grammed to partial charging. For safety reasons relat-
ing to air transport, the system can only be switched
back on from the Off mode using a connected and
active charger.
10. Store the SEABOB on a stable, level surface in a place
that is cool, dry, well ventilated and frost proof. The
optimum storage temperature is +10 to +25 °C / +50
to +77 °F.
High temperatures may shorten the life of the Lithium-
Ion batteries.
When storing the device for an extended period, you
should repeat the charging process no longer than every
4 weeks at the latest to maintain the minimum charge
state required for storage. If this is not done, total dis-
charge may result, causing irreparable chemical damage
to the valuable High-Energy Lithium-Ion batteries. The
internal battery management system will not permit fur-
ther charging of a totally discharged battery (under 2.5 V
per Lithium-Ion battery).
For storage exceeding 4 weeks, in particular storage over
the winter, we recommend keeping the activated charger
connected continuously to the SEABOB (trickle charge)
to maintain the required charge state and prevent total
discharge. Before doing this, make sure that you activate
the charge state "Air Transport / Storage" in the menu
(see also Chapter 5.3.8 "Charge display"). The charging
5.10 Storing the SEABOB
If you do not plan to use the SEABOB for an extended
period, it must be stored at least in a partial charge state
(charge state "Air Transport / Storage"). The minimum
charge state during storage is required to prevent irrepa-
rable total discharge of the valuable Lithium-Ion bat-
teries and to ensure that the microprocessor-controlled
cell balancing function remains active. You may have to
recharge the SEABOB, depending on its charge state.
The charging process is controlled automatically by the
charger and battery management system.
Be sure to read the information contained in Chapter 5.2
"Charging the SEABOB"!
To prepare the device for storage, proceed as fol-
lows:
1. Place the SEABOB on a dry and sturdy surface that
will not damage the components.
2. Ensure that the connector, connection plug and power
plug are perfectly clean and dry. If necessary, dry them
using a soft, clean cloth.
3. Plug the charger connector into the SEABOB connec-
tion port. Then plug the charger power plug into the
outlet.
4. The charge display will appear on the SEABOB after
a brief system check. The device is now in the Charge
mode.
5. Tap the green button to select partial charging of the
SEABOB to charge state "Air Transport / Storage". A
partially filled charge symbol will appear in the center
of the display with an arrow to indicate partial charg-
ing ("charge 50 %").
6. When the airplane symbol appears in the center
of the display, partial charging is complete and the
minimum charge state for storage has been reached
("complete").
