Note:* When power a product with this battery, the battery running time will vary depending on the product configuration, product model, applications loaded on the product, power management setting of the product, and the product features used by the customer, As with all batteries, the maximum capacity of this battery will decrease with time and usage.

Battery Capacity Rating: 153 Watt-hour (Wh) capacity means the battery can theoretically last 153 hours if the device it powered only needs 1 Watt 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. There are many different ways to rate a battery capacity on market. A lithium-ion battery cell capacity is usually measured in Ampere-hour (Ah). Since an external battery uses many battery cells, some cells are connected in parallel, some are connected in serial, using Watt-hour will be more accurate to rate its capacity. If using Ampere-hour to rate its capacity, it should state the Ampere-hour is under what voltage. For example, 9000 mAh at 16V means 9000 mAh x 15V = 135 Wh. If you find a battery that claims its capacity is 20000 mAh (20Ah) without stating at what voltage, most likely it is at 3.6V or 3.7V (3.6V or 3.7V is a lithium-ion battery cell voltage). In this case, the battery capacity will be 20 Ah x 3.7V =74 Watt-hour.

There is a 5V USB port on the battery behind USB port cover. You can use this 5V USB Port to charge cellular phone, MP3 player or other small electronics that can be charged from a 5V USB port. However, the battery pack does not come with any cable and connector tips for this USB port. Our optional Z4 cable and connector tips will work with this 5V USB port.

Comparisons of External Battery and Internal Battery

BP150 External Battery

Traditional Internal Battery

How to Charge battery Has its own charger , battery can be charged anytime without the laptop/notebook computer. Very convenient Must put battery into laptop/notebook computer or use expensive proprietary charger to charge battery How to use battery Plug to the laptop/notebook computer’s  DC  power input plug, plug and play. Insert the battery into the laptop/notebook computer’s battery bay. Compatibility Can be used for 90% of laptop/notebook computers on the market. When you upgrade  your laptop/notebook computer, you may still be able to use the battery for new laptop/notebook computer. Every internal battery is proprietary. Different laptop/notebook computer needs different battery. Other usage Can provide 16V and 19V DC power for other electronic devices also. can only be used for designed laptop/notebook computers.

How to use this battery:

1. Charge the battery: This battery has its own battery charger, you can charge it from any 110V or 220V AC power source with the included AC Charger. You can also charge the battery from a car cigarette lighter with the included Car Charger

2. Set right output voltage:

After the battery has been fully charged, set the voltage output of the battery close to your notebook DC power input requirement (which is same as your notebook AC power adapter’s DC output voltage).

This battery has a switch to set the voltage output at 16V or 19V. 16V is compatible with 15V~16.5V, 19V is compatible with 18V~21V.

If your notebook DC input requirement is 15~16.5V, set the battery voltage output at 16V. If your notebook DC power input requirement is 18V ~ 21V, set the battery voltage output at 19V.

2. Select right tip:

Included with your battery is a output cable with  more than 14 different connector plug tips.

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 plgu 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.

* We may discontinue some old tips and add some new tips according to market demands without notice. Actual connector tips come with the battery may not be exactly same as the pictures show.

4. Check the polarity:

If you want to use this battery for other devices instead of laptop notebook computers, it is CRITICAL to make sure the polarity of your device matches with this battery output polarity before using this battery. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN SEVERE DAMAGE TO YOUR DEVICE!

To determine the correct polarity for your device, inspect the DC adapter jack or the label of your device thoroughly for information about the device polarity. There will be a symbol with a plus sign on one side and a minus sign on the other with a circle between them. The circle will have an opening so that it looks like a “C”. If the opening of the circle is on the side with the plus sign the polarity is positive. If the opening is on the side with minus sign the polarity is negative. If you cannot find a polarity sign on your device you need to call the device’s manufacturer to find out what the polarity is.

This battery output cable and connectors are configured as positive polarity, which meet the needs of most of laptop computers and devices.

5.  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 in good condition and has been fully charged, you can leave it in your notebook. Otherwise, we recommend you removing the internal battery from it. The external battery will still work fine with the non-charged internal battery in the notebook, but it may not reach the maximum running time

How long can this external battery run ?

This battery’s capacity is 153Wh(Watt-hour).You can compare this capacity with your internal battery capacity to figure out how long this battery can run your notebook. For example, if you have a 9-cell internal battery with output like this: 11.1V & 6600 mAh, then, your internal battery capacity is: 11.1V x 6600 mAh = 73 Wh (Watt-hour). In this case, if your internal notebook battery runs 3-4 hours, then this external battery pack can run about 6- 8 hours, together, they can run 9 ~ 12 hours. Actual running time varies, depending on the notebook computer’s configurations and applications (Ex: screen brightness, the use of the CPU, the hard drive, the CD drive, etc.). 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.
