4.2) Portable power supply
The Portable Power Supply is a good alternative to batteries, especially for Ascender operations with a lot of lifting and lower distance or in extreme
temperatures. The following lifting distances can be achieved at 20°C (68°F):
100 kg (220 lb) → 500 m (1640 ft)
200 kg (440 lb) → 150 m (492 ft)
The limiting factor is the Ascender temperature. The Ascender motor runs hot when lifting heavy loads over longer distances, especially in hot
environments where the heat can not be dissipated easily. In case of overheating the Ascender may be shut off temporarily to protect the motor from
any damage.
4.3) Batch of the battery
The ACX Battery can be charged at any charging level, no ‘memory effect’ will occur. It is important that the batteries are charged with an original
SKYLOTEC ACX Charger. The charging time is dependent on the charging level of the Battery. The maximum charging time is 90 minutes. During
charging the current charging level is displayed on the Battery LEDs and the Battery is fully charged when all 4 LEDs are lit continuously. Inspect before
charging the Battery, the Charger Cables and the insulation on the socket to avoid risk of electric shock.
Balancing:
After the Battery has been fully charged, the BMS will start to balance the Battery for another 10 minutes. Balancing is a process where the Battery
Management System equalizes the charging levels of all the cells in the Battery Pack in order to optimize the lifetime and performance of the Battery.
The Battery LEDs will slowly pulsate after the balancing is complete.
WARNING: Charging must be carried out in a dry area. Disconnect the charger from the power source when not in use.
1. Connect the Charger to mains supply.
2. Connect Battery to charger.
3. Constant charging controlled by BMS. The Battery is full when all 4 Battery LEDs are continuously lit.
4. 10 minutes balancing and all LEDs are lit continuously. The LEDs slowly pulsate when balancing is completed.
5. Disconnect Battery from charger.
6. Disconnect Charger from main supply.
WARNING: Do not touch the Battery Charger during charging with wet hands or disconnect the plug by pulling the cord.
