What I would suggest you do is install, or have installed, a battery isolation switch. Before you leave your car use the switch to disconnect the battery; this should save your battery so the next time you come back it will have sufficient charge to start your car. Obviously when you do get back make sure to reconnect the battery. Even though the car is not running, there is usually some constant small drain on the battery. This will be from certain engine computers, the memory/clock in the car radio, the GPS system, the security system ….a lot of stuff is just trickling away power. For short durations this isn’t an issue but for “weeks at a time” it can be …as you’ve found out. Now, completely disconnecting the battery means all those things I mentioned will not be powered. So, for instance, your radio will lose any memorized settings. If the car has a security system it will be rendered inoperative. You may notice the car runs a little differently when you first start driving it as the engine management computer may have to “lean” your driving style. Getting into the car the first time without battery power will mean you need to use the key …not the remote. Make sure there isn’t some security settings you need to adjust for getting into the car using the actual key. Normally the security system should fail safe to allow manual key entry to the vehicle with a dead battery. Also the hood release is typically manual as well. So weigh all this against having to deal with a dead battery first cat when you get to your condo.

Why is my iPad case falling over or stays at 90 degree angle only? You need to pull the metal hinge away from the keyboard. For some models, you may need to unlock the metal hinge from the keyboard before sliding the hinge back. Can I use my electronic device while it is charging through the battery? Yes you can, however we generally do not “recommend” using the electronic device while it is charging from our battery. It is best to let device fully charge before using. I have done some tests and I am not getting the full mAh out of my battery? Though the battery is rated at ____mAh it will not fully discharge all the stored powered in battery. Some power will be lost during charging in the form of resistance and heat. Some power will be lost while not in use because of the self discharge rate: percentage can range from 8% – 31% depending on condition/environment (number base on one month storage) If however the charge falls substantially low then the battery may be defective, please visit our troubleshoot section to determine issue/ contact our support for RMA What happens if I plugged my phone into the 2.1A port?/Can I charge two phones at once? While you can plug your phone into the 2.1A output for a quicker charge, we do not recommend doing so unless specified by your phone, as you are essentially outputting twice the charge into your phone’s battery. The phone battery may generate more heat as a result of the higher amperage, which may affect the battery’s life over time, do so with caution. Most phone’s circuitry will limit the input amperage and will thus protect itself. What is the difference between the 1A and 2.1A output charge ports? a) The 1A is for cell/smartphones and other small devices. b) The 2.1A is for larger devices, such as the Apple iPad and other tablets. Currently there are cell/smartphones that accept the 2.1 amperage input as well. Some lights are blinking and others are solid, is my battery fully charged? A – When the LED lights are blinking the battery is still charging, when certain lights are solid a certain percentage of charge is complete(refer to B). If all LED light are solid then battery is fully charged. B – The battery current level of charge is determined by the number of solid lights on unit Three total LED : 100/3 = 33.33%/per light Four total LED : 100/3 = 25%/per light Why does my battery not charge my electronic device, it is fully charged? Certain models of our batteries have a delay-on function. To bypass the delay function, you need to depress the power button down from two – five seconds (depending on model configuration). The delay function is to protect the user from wasting power on their battery when the power button is accidentally depressed. NOTE: Check out our troubleshoot section for further diagnostic if answer above did not fix issue. Can I store my batteries for an extended period of time and only use it for emergencies? We do not recommend storing our batteries (or any batteries) over a long period of time without use. As the battery cells will deteriorate when not in use. Furthermore, the batteries you store will constantly lose energy over time. If the stored batteries are completely discharged, certain negative detriments may occur, which include not starting up. To maximize the lifespan of your external battery, we would advise you to fully discharge and recharge the battery at least once (recommended twice) a month and follow maintenance recommendation. Why isn’t my keyboard connecting to my iPad? 1. Make sure both devices are charged, and ready to pair. 2. Make sure Bluetooth is turned on. You should see the little Bluetooth symbol at the top of your phone’s screen. If you don’t, go into the settings to enable it. 3. Once your device finds the keyboard, tapping ‘New Trent Keyboard’ option in bluetooth will display a four digit code. You need to input this code using the keyboard. After you do so, the devices should be paired. Keep in mind your phone will only stay in discoverable mode for a few minutes; if you take too long, you’ll need to start over. 4. Power the devices off and back on. A soft reset sometimes can resolve an issue. With phones, an easy way to do this is by going into and out of airplane mode. 5. Delete a device from a phone and rediscover it. In iOS settings, you can remove a device by tapping on its name and then Forget this Device. Do you offer repair on broken devices? We unfortunately do not offer any repair services, if your device is defective please contact us for a warranty replacement Important Note: Item need to be with the warranty coverage to be eligible for replacement service. Please review our warranty terms and condition to verify if item is covered. Can your battery be carried on plane? According to TSA battery regulation our products fall well within the restriction posted for Li ion battery carry on, and are limited to two large size batteries. Further detail can be found on TSA website: NOTE: Even if an item is generally permitted, it may be subject to additional screening or not allowed through the checkpoint if it triggers an alarm during the screening process, appears to have been tampered with, or poses other security concerns. The final decision rests with TSA on whether to allow any items on the plane. *We do not guarantee or 100% confirm our battery can be carried or used on plane, other than confirm that our battery follows TSA guidelines. We accept no responsibility of denying of battery carry on and other issue that may occur while at the airport.

If you understand why car batteries fail, then you should also understand the importance of charging your car battery. On average, most batteries do not require a recharge for at least five years. That’s if you’re taking good care of your car. But if you want to maintain your battery to ensure a long life, you’ll benefit from routine charging. Why A car’s alternator is not designed to fully restore a depleted battery, but rather to maintain a healthy one. It is important to routinely charge car batteries that are used sporadically – like in a car driven only for short distances. However, whether your car sits outside or is in use every day, you can use a battery charger to keep it starting easily. Most chargers are designed to diagnose, recover, charge and maintain a wide range of batteries, in a wide range of applications. Some trickle chargers can be left on a battery indefinitely. These would be used on a vehicle that is not used all the time or is stored away for the winter or the summer. How At Batteries Plus, you’ll find chargers from leading manufacturers like Battery Tender, Schumacher and NOCO Genius®. Choose from a full selection of car battery chargers for everything from vintage 8V model vehicles to dual battery 24V systems and multi-battery, fleet operations. Once you have your charger, hook it up and the power will trickle in as it’s needed. The battery won’t be overcharged. A trickle charger is designed to be left on a car for a long period of time to recharge the battery. It slowly adds the charge to the battery and does not allow for the normal depletion of charge that batteries commonly have. Give it a full charge for a day or two. Batteries Plus has over 30, 000 batteries and trained associates there to install them, so make us your automotive battery source. Visit your local Batteries Plus store to have your battery and electrical system tested for FREE – no appointment is necessary!

Often times it can be difficult to know what to look for if you are buying an RC car for the first time, whetheryou arepurchasing one as a gift for a friend or family member. How do you tell what the battery requirements are, and what is the difference between the models? Which car is best for my needs? These are important considerations no matter who you are buyingfor, so below we have answered some of the frequently asked questions that might be useful to keep in mind whenbuying one of these Fast & Furious RC cars. How good is the battery life and remote range? First off, the cars and remotes do not come with pre-packaged batteries and so you will need to buy some along with the car itself. Most of the units will need at least 4 AA batteries for the carand a further 2 AA batteries for the remote. The battery requirements vary depending on the power of the vehicle and the type of terrain you use it on – if you are climbing hills and rocks with one of the off-road models, it is likely that the battery will drain more quickly than if you simply drive along flat frictionless surfaces. The likelihood is that you will get an average of about 30 – 40 minutes of play out of a set ofregular batteries. We recommend purchasing rechargeable batteries that you can use again and again, which will save you money in the long run.There are also testaments fromcustomers who have replaced the standard stock batteries with lithium ion batteries to extend the power and play time of these cars, but we would recommend caution here. Only modify these vehicles if you are a professional and know what you are doing, they will be perfect for casual use right out of the box. The remote range is quite short, but as these are rather inexpensive items you would expect a range of about 9 – 10 m (30 ft). Other remote controlled vehicles like the RC helicopters or drones will have far greater range, some up to 170ft (50m), but they also come at a higher price and have much more sophisticatednavigation and control systems.There are ways to boost your range that require modification to the remote itself, or you could purchase a separate remote that will work on the same frequency as the car you have. You will need to check the frequency in the details of the product before you do this. We like to think that having a bit of a jog down the road while you drive is a small price to pay forpiloting one of these awesome little cars. Whatare the size and quality like? Well, they certainly aren’t as large asa Land Rover that can be controlled by smartphone remote, but they do measure between 1/20th and 1/24th scale – that is around 7.5 X 3 X 2.5.The product information on Amazon always tells you the exact dimensions of the product, so you can compare these to some physical measurements of your own if you’re looking for a particular size. The detailing on these cars is also of avery high quality, which makes them great as miniaturecollector’s pieces. They are also not too expensive if you are building up a collection, because the non radio controlledstatic models are made frommore expensive materials – they may look better, but they can’t scoot down the roadto race against a friend.Thismeans that the radio control versions of these cars are much cheaper, and you could pick up both the off-road and superchargedversions of the Dodge Charge if you liked, oreven go for the whole collection if you wanted.

A trickle charger is used to replace the self-discharge of a battery in storage, so that the battery doesn't "go dead". All batteries naturally self-discharge to some extent, meaning that they lose capacity and the voltage drops. The amount of self-discharge that will occur in a month depends mainly on the battery type and storage temperature. The two most common types of lead-acid batteries are flooded batteries (the ones you refill) and sealed batteries like AGM or gel batteries that don't need refilling. Most starter batteries are the flooded type. Trickle chargers are most commonly used with flooded batteries, because the rate of self-discharge of a flooded lead-acid battery can be as high as 30% in a month. This means that within a few months an unused flooded battery can "go dead". That can be a real problem if that battery is needed to start a vehicle. Sealed AGM lead-acid batteries have a much lower rate of self-discharge. The loss in capacity will be about 3% of its capacity per month for a battery stored at room temperature. At 50F (10C), the loss would be approximately 1.5% per month, and at 104F (40C) the loss would be around 10% per month. Because of the lower rate of self-discharge, sealed AGM batteries can be stored for 9 months or more without "going dead". A trickle charger would only really be necessary for an AGM battery when it will sit unused for very long periods. Tips for calculating what size solar panel you'll need to trickle-charge your battery: 1. To start, you'll need to know the capacity of the battery you want to trickle-charge (usually listed on the side of the battery in "Ah" or "mAh", where 1 Ah equals 1000 mAh. If you can't find it there, try looking up the battery model online). Tip: Most car-sized starter batteries are about 100Ah 2. Next , calculate the self-discharge losses per month. If you will be storing a flooded battery in the summer, multiply the battery capacity, in Ah, times 30%. If you will be storing a flooded battery in the winter, multiply the battery capacity, in Ah, times 8%. Then, divide by 30 to find the average loss per day. Example 1: A 100 Ah flooded battery stored in the summer: 100 Ah * 0.3/30 = 1 Ah per day = daily self-discharge loss of the battery 3. Next , determine the number of full sun hours to expect at your location, based on the time of year. If you're in the US, you can use these solar insolation maps to approximate this. Note: 1 kWh/m2/day is the same as 1 full-sun hour per day. 4. Finally, divide the total capacity loss per day from Step 2 by the total number of full-sun hours per day from Step 3 to get the desired current of the panel. Example 2: The 100 Ah battery from Example 1 loses 1 Ah per day. In NH in June, the total full-sun hours per day will be 5.25 hours average. 1/5.25 = .19A (190 mA). For this case, a panel with a current output of at least 190 mA would be sufficient to maintain this battery in storage. Our 1.8W trickle charger produces 125 mA, and our 5W trickle charger produces 300 mA, so for this application the 5W charger would be the best choice. If you have a smaller battery, are storing it in the winter, and/or you are in a very sunny location, a 1.8W charger may be a better choice.

Charge Two Devices At Once Charge two devices at once, including the latest generation Apple devices, while on the road. The Belkin Dual Car Charger with included Lightning to USB cable gives you unlimited play and standby time while in the car, and keeps you and a passenger fully charged wherever you go. Universal USB 2.0 Ports The USB 2.0 Ports are universal, so you can still charge your legacy Apple devices with a 30–pin cable or other devices that use a Micro–USB cable. And you never have to share the power with your passengers—just plug in and power up at the same time. Includes Removable Lightning To USB Cable The Belkin Dual Car Charger comes with a 4-foot Lightning to USB cable, so you can charge your Lightning connector devices at the fastest possible speed. The smaller, more durable Lightning connector is reversible, which makes plugging it in easier than ever. And because it's removable, the cable can be used anywhere—plug it into your laptop to charge and sync, or use your own wall charger to charge from the wall. Great as a replacement cable or if you simply need an extra. Small, Compact and Easy To Use The low–profile design fits easily in your dash without getting in the way of your other controls. Rubber grips make it easy to insert and remove the Dual Car Charger, and the blue indicator light ring lets you know the charger is fully plugged in and your device is charging. Case Compatibility Depending on the type of case you have, you may need to remove your case before charging. If your speakers, Lightning connector port and AUX port are fully exposed when your case is on, you should be able to easily charge your device without removing the case.

The circuit has been designed to construct a practical mechanism that can easily and automatically charge batteries rated at 6 V or 12 V used in automobiles. BC557 – PNP general purpose transistors used for amplification and switching due to its low current and low voltage BC547 – NPN small signal transistors designed for general purpose switching and amplification due to its low voltage, low current and three different gain selections BD139 – NPN power transistor used for driver stages in hi-fi amplifiers and television circuits because of its low voltage at 80 V maximum and high current at 1.5 A maximum 2N3055 – a complementary Silicon Epitaxial-Base planar NPN transistor mounted in Jedec TO-3 metal case for use as power transistor One of the essential factors in the operation of this circuit is the utilization of transformer denoted as T1 which has excellent resistance and insulation for short circuits making it a good quality. It is responsible for transferring electric energy or alternating current from one circuit to another via conductors that are coupled inductively. A transformer is composed of two or more coils of conducting element, like a wire, wrapped around a core where a magnetic field is produced by an alternating current in one coli. This will induce the same current in the other coils. The transistor Q1 is conducting through voltage divider R1 and R2 while trimmer TR1 and resistor R4 are functioning as regulated current source. The Darlington pair of power transistors Q5 and Q6 is being driven by a current through R9. A Darlington pair is designed in such a way that the collectors of both transistors are attached together and the emitter of the first transistor is directly coupled to the base of the second or output transistor. The base current of the output transistor is equal to the emitter current of the input transistor. A car battery charger is normally around 6 V to 8 V while the current is around 1.2 A being handled by the trimmer TR1. As the battery is charged slowly, the voltage is gradually increasing until it reaches 7 V, which would cause D1 to conduct. The increase in voltage results to the decrease of voltage across R3 which makes Q1 to conduct. The process will continue until the circuit reaches 6 A. the transistor Q4 will be driven by the voltage drop via R10. Since the transistor Q5 is grounded, the excess current across it would remain constant for modification.
