Do you have a question about the Ventev VenVolt 2 and is the answer not in the manual?
The Ventev VenVolt 2 802.3af/at/bt 26400 mAh Power Bank is a versatile and essential accessory designed for WISP technicians and wireless engineers, providing portable power for a variety of devices in remote or challenging environments. This power bank is engineered to offer reliable performance and protection, making it suitable for professional use where consistent power is critical.
The primary function of the VenVolt 2 is to provide portable power to various devices. It supports multiple output types, including USB-A, USB-C, 24V PoE, and PoE++ (802.3bt), allowing it to power a wide range of equipment such as phones, laptops, wireless bridges, and access points. The device is equipped with a substantial battery capacity, enabling extended operation of connected devices without immediate access to a power outlet.
The power bank features an intuitive LED battery level indicator that provides a clear visual representation of the remaining charge, with indicators for >75%, <75%, <50%, <25% power, and an empty status, signaling when it's time to recharge. This ensures users are always aware of the power bank's status and can plan their usage accordingly.
Safety is a key aspect of the VenVolt 2's design. It incorporates robust protection mechanisms against common electrical issues, including input overvoltage, output overvoltage, short circuit, and incorrect insertion. These features safeguard both the power bank and the connected devices from potential damage, ensuring a reliable and secure power supply. Additionally, the device is temperature resistant, enhancing its durability and performance in various environmental conditions.
Operating the VenVolt 2 is designed to be straightforward and user-friendly. Before initial use, it is recommended to fully charge the power bank using the provided USB-C wall charger and USB-C to USB-C cable. The device typically takes a few hours to fully charge.
To power a PoE device, users connect their ethernet cable from the VenVolt 2 to their device. A selector switch allows users to choose the appropriate PoE output: setting the switch to "4" activates the PoE++ port, while setting it to "3" activates the 24V Gigabit PoE port. It's important to note that the USB-C port is disabled when the switch is set to "3" or "4."
For charging laptops or phones via the USB-C port, users connect their device using an included cable or their own. The selector switch should be set to "Off" for USB-C charging. The battery will automatically detect the connected device and begin charging.
When charging a device via the USB-A port, the USB-A port becomes active when the selector switch is set to "3" or "4." If the selector switch is set to "Off," only the USB-C port is active. This flexible port management allows users to prioritize their charging needs based on the type of device and required power output.
The device also includes a troubleshooting guide to assist users with common issues. For instance, if the power bank cannot be fully charged, it suggests checking charging time or the power source. If the remaining power cannot be read, it indicates a fully depleted capacity and advises recharging. If the VenVolt 2 fails to supply power, the guide recommends checking capacity, connections, device compatibility, and ensuring the power bank is turned on with the correct selector switch setting. In case the device enters alarm mode with all LED lights flashing, it indicates that electrical protection has been triggered, and users are advised to reconnect or replace cables/connectors or press the on/off button to reset.
Proper maintenance is crucial for extending the lifespan and ensuring the optimal performance of the VenVolt 2. Users are advised to avoid exposing the product to extreme temperatures, specifically keeping it within the recommended usage temperature range of 14-113°F. It should also not be exposed to direct sunlight for prolonged periods or left in high-temperature or high-humidity environments.
To prevent damage, the power bank should not be exposed to water. Users should immediately stop using the device if any unusual conditions occur, such as electrolytic liquid leakage, overheating, color change, or other abnormal signs. Additionally, users must avoid short-circuiting the positive and negative terminals.
For long-term storage or infrequent use, it is recommended to discharge and recharge the VenVolt 2 periodically. This practice helps maintain battery health and prevents degradation over time, ensuring the power bank remains ready for use when needed. Adhering to these maintenance guidelines will help preserve the device's functionality and reliability, making it a dependable tool for professionals in the field.
