Comparisons of External Battery and Internal Battery
| BP220 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 with optional connector tips. 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 15V and 19V DC power for other electronic devices also. | can only be used for designed laptop/notebook computers. |
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 it while it is not in use.
The BP220 is specially designed to be able to charge and discharge at same time. However, since each lithium battery has limited charge/discharge cycles ( around 500 cycles), it is not recommend to use the battery when AC power is available.
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.
3. Plug power output cable to battery Out port
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:
One end of the output cable will connect to the battery output port. The other end has a 5.5 x2.5mm 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 the included connector plug tips. With the plug tips not connected to Z6 output cord, locate the correct one by fitting the it into your device's DC Jack. The tip should fit snugly in the DC jack. Then, plug the tip onto the Z6 output power cable.
4. Plug the optional connector tip and output cordIf you ordered battery with
optional connector tips and output cable does not fit your device, you may select the right connector, plug it onto the Z6 output cord, then plug the 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 remove the internal battery from your notebook to maximize the external battery running time.The external battery will still work fine if you leave the non-charged internal battery in the notebook, but it may not reach the maximum running time. This is because it needs to charge the internal battery and power the computer at the same time.
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 the notebook computer's configurations and what kind of applications are 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.
