Battery extension pack - installation and safety guide

1. Product Overview

The Reconeyez Battery Extension Pack is designed to increase the energy capacity of a single Detector, Bridge, or Siren device by housing up to four official Reconeyez lithium-ion batteries in a rugged IP67-rated enclosure. The unit shares the same mechanical housing and ingress protection features as the Reconeyez Bridge, offering robust outdoor protection for mission-critical deployments.

Key specifications:

·       - Capacity: 40.8 Ah (4 x 10.2 Ah batteries)

·       - Voltage: 3.7V nominal, 4.2V max

·       - Temperature Range: −42 °C to +60 °C

·       - Enclosure: IP67 rated

·       - Cable Length: 1 m fixed cable

·       - Compatible only with one device at a time

2. Installation Instructions

• Fully charge each battery using the official Reconeyez charger before installation.
• Insert all four batteries into the pack before sealing the enclosure.
• Use the push-release latching mechanism (same as the Bridge) to secure the terminal cover without damaging seals.
• Use only the provided 1 m cable to connect the Battery Extension Pack to a single Reconeyez device.
• Ensure connectors are aligned properly; do not force or rotate them.

3. Usage Guidelines

• The pack draws power from the host device only. Do not connect it to multiple devices.
• Operating outside of −42 °C to +60 °C may lead to performance degradation or failure.
• Avoid extreme thermal cycling and store batteries at 15°C–25°C when not in use.
• Periodically inspect the pack, cable, and connectors for signs of damage or wear.

4. Battery Safety and Risk Management

• Do not charge unattended or overnight. Use only in ventilated areas away from flammable materials.
• Look for signs of damage: leaking, corrosion, swelling, overheating, or unusual odour.
• Disconnect and isolate damaged units immediately and dispose of them via certified e-waste channels.
• Battery ageing over time (2–5 years) or after 300–500 cycles will reduce performance and increase risk.

5. Fire Safety and Protective Measures

• Store charged extension packs in fireproof battery safes or metal containers.
• Recommended: Class D or multi-class extinguisher near all charging locations.
• Ensure field teams are trained in lithium fire response and carry fire blankets during mobile deployments.
