Note: There are many different ways to rate a battery capacity on market. For your information, a typical 6-cell internal notebook battery capacity is about 49 Watt-hour, a typical 12-cell internal notebook battery capacity is about 98 Watt-hour. 223 Watt-Hour Capacity is equivalent to 60300mAh if rated as most external batteries on market.

Battery Capacity Rating: Watt-Hour, or Wh, is a more accurate unit to show the power capacity than Amp-. Hour (Ah) that was used before. The Watt-Hour unit means the wattage that the battery can provide within one hour. 220 Watt-hour (Wh) capacity means the battery can theoretically last 223 hours if the device it powered only needs 1 Watt power, or 10 hour if the device need 22 W power. A typical 6-cell internal notebook battery capacity is about 49 Watt-hour. A typical 12-cell internal notebook battery capacity is about 98 Watt-hour.

IN -- Battery input port for connecting to battery charger

How this battery works:

1. Charge the battery:

This battery has its own AC battery charger and 12V car charger. You can charge it from any 110V or 220V AC power source or from a car 12V cigarette lighter socket with the 12V car charger. Both the AC charger and the 12V car charger need to connect to the In port of the battery pack.

To quickly charge the battery, we recommend to charge the battery fully while it is not in use.

BP220 battery has specially designed to be able to charge and discharge at same time. However, since each lithium battery has limited charge/discharge cycles ( around 500 times), it is not recommend to use the battery when AC power is available.

2. Set correct output voltage:
This battery has a switch to set the voltage output at 15V or 19V. 15V is compatible with 14V~16V, 19V is compatible with 18V~21V.

If your device DC power input requirement is 14V ~ 21V, you can use the output cable to power your device directly from the battery Out port like this:

3. Select right tip:

Included with your battery is a output cable with more than 18 different connector plug tips.

(Click to see details)

The output cable (Z6 Power Cable) one end connect to the battery output port, another end has a 5,5mm/2.5mm connector which will fit a lot laptop notebook computers and other devices.

If the Z6 cable connector does not fit your laptop notebook computers, you can use one of following connector plug tips that work with most laptop notebook computers. With the plug tips not connected to Z6 output cord, locate the correct tip by fitting the tip into your laptop notebook computer or other device DC Jack. The tip should fit snugly in the DC jack. The plug the tip to the Z6 output power cable.

Connector Tips :

The package comes with 12 or more connector tips for different laptop/tablet/notebook computers.

* We may discontinue some old tips and add some new tips without notice. Actual connector tips may not be exactly same as the pictures show.

4. Plug the connector and output cord

After select right connector, plug it on the Z6 output cord, then plug output cord to the battery output port:

Just that simple, now you are ready to use it !

Note: If your notebook internal battery is a working battery and has been fully charged, you can leave it in your notebook. Otherwise, we recommend you removing the internal battery from your notebook to maximize the external battery running time.The external battery will still work fine if you leave non-charged internal battery in the notebook, but it may not reach the maximum running time since it needs to charge the internal battery at same time when it is powering the computer.

How long can this external battery run ?

This battery's capacity is about 220Wh(Watt-hour):
you can compare this battery's capacity with your internal battery capacity to figure out how long this battery can run your notebook. For example, if your notebook internal battery output is: 10.8V & 4000 mAh, then, your notebook internal battery capacity is:

11.1V x 4400 mAh = = 49 Wh (Watt-hour).

This external battery capacity is about 220/49=4.5 times of your internal battery capacity.

If your internal notebook battery can run 2 ~ 3 hours, then the external battery pack can theoretically run about : 9 ~ 14 hours.

This is a rough estimate. Actual running time varies, depending on notebook computer's configurations and what kind of applications running . For example, screen brightness, the use of the CPU, the hard drive, the CD drive, and other peripherals results in an additional drain upon the battery, effectively reducing the battery's run-time. The total run-time of the battery is also heavily dependent upon the design of the notebook. To ensure maximum performance of the battery, optimize the computer's power management features. Refer to the computer manual for further instructions.

Combine 2 ( or more) batteries together to provide more running time:

If you need more running time, you may connect 2 batteries together in parallel with BiXPower Y25 Split Connector :

Y25 Split Connector Not Included

Cautions: To link two batteries in this way, please make sure:

1. The output voltage of two batteries is set at same.

2. Any single battery has ability to power the powered device by itself.

The purpose of link two or more batteries together is to provide longer running time without interruption. There this no balance control between two batteries . One battery may output more power than another battery and run out of power earlier than another battery. This will not be a problem if a single battery output power is enough to run powered device. However, if the powered device power demand is more than a single battery capability, it may run to problem when one battery run out of power earlier.

Notes: Only a few BiXPower batteries ( such as BP90, BP100, BP160 and BP220 batteries) have been specially designed to allow multi batteries to connect in this way. Other batteries may not be allowed to be connected together in this way (unless specially mentioned).

You may also use multi Y25 Split Connectors to Daisy Chain more batteries to provide even more power. Please make sure all batteries output voltages are set at same. Fully charge each battery separately before connect them together.

The battery regular Z6 output cable can fit Y25 connector female end, which will be combined output port in this case. You may use BiXPower Special Cable with On/Off Switch : which can be used power output cable directly without battery regular Z6 output cable.

AIRLINE TRAVEL FAQ

WHAT KINDS OF BATTERIES ARE ALLOWED IN CARRY-ON BAGGAGE (in the aircraft cabin)?

Most US domestic airlines allow passengers bring two (2) larger lithium ion batteries ( capacity from 100 Watt-hour to 300 Watt-hour) in their carry-on. However, some international airlines may only allow 2 lithium ion batteries with maximum 160 Watt-hour capacity. Please check with your airline company to see whether this 223 Watt-hour battery is allowed to carry on if you plan to bring this battery with you. If this battery is not allowed, you may consider our BP150 and BP160 batteries, which with capacity less than 160 Watt-hour.

WHAT KINDS OF BATTERIES ARE ALLOWED IN CHECKED BAGGAGE?

Spare lithium batteries are prohibited in checked baggage.

WHAT DOES "PROTECTED FROM SHORT CIRCUIT" MEAN?

Protected from short circuit means that a battery terminals are protected from being touched by metal. When metal such as keys, coins, or other batteries come in contact with both terminals of a battery, it can create a circuit or path for electricity to flow through. This can cause extreme heat and sparks and even start a fire. To prevent short circuits, keep spare batteries in their original packaging, a battery case, or separate pouch or pocket.

ARE BP220 BATTERY PACKS PROTECTED FROM SHORT CIRCUIT?

YES. BP220 Battery Packs are built within a protective solid shell. Built in circuitry protection also protects against thermal run-away and overheating.
