Hey guys, this is Martin again from SIRS-E. Today I'm going to introduce to you guys our
new line of 5 Volt regulated two-cell Lithium Polymer packs that are specifically designed
to work with LED Strips and LED components and such.
These battery packs, they are very special because not only are they handmade, but all
the components in these battery packs are handpicked to work and to perform as best
as possible with the different LED and DMX applications.
Basically these battery packs, we're going to have three capacities, or three versions
of them, for the 5 Volt versions.
We're going to have a 3200 milliamp, 5,000 milliamp, and a 10,000 milliamp.
What that means is how much juice they have, how long of a runtime they will give you.
Just so you guys get an idea, the 3200 milliamp pack will give you about an hour runtime,
the 5,000 about two hours, and the 10,000 close to four hours.
It all depends on what kind of effects you run, how much strip are you using and all
that.
But all these measurements are calculated from a full 16.4ft strip.
So basically, that being said, the runtime's not limited to that time because if you run
at a lesser capacity, or you run at a less of a dramatic effect or whatever, you can
actually get a longer runtime out of these.
It all depends.
So it's very hard to pinpoint one, but on average like I said, 1 hour, 2 hours, and
4 hours on these.
These battery packs, not only are they regulated to 5 Volts, which means you can actually run
pretty much run anything that runs off 5 Volts from them, but they also have a low voltage
cutoff circuit in there that actually protects the battery.
This means that if you leave it plugged in overnight or you're running a show and you
got your lights going, and you don't want to check on the battery or whatever, the circuit
in here, it's actually going to open the circuit, cut the draw of current, and just leave the
battery "disconnected", so to speak, so that it doesn't over drain.
Because with Lithium Polymer batteries, if you over drain them, they go bad - you can't
charge them back up, and that means that you ruined your battery and it's a waste of money.
So they come with an awesome, awesome circuit in there.
Works every single time, doesn't give you any issues.
And the other cool thing about them is that they actually have a fuel gauge indicator.
It actually has a little button that you touch, and it lights up the little LEDs in there.
This is to give you an idea of how much milliamps, or how much juice, you have left in the battery
pack.
It consists of actually 5 LEDs and each one represents 20%.
5 LEDs is 100%, 4 is 80%, so on and so forth, so you get the idea.
This is a very cool little setup here so that whenever you're at a gig or whatever, instead
of getting a multimeter or a voltmeter or something to check them every time, all you
do is press this and that gives you a good idea on whether they can run for a while,
or if you're going to have to plug them in and charge them.
So that being said, the next thing that we're going to cover is also the chargers.
We're going to have two different kinds of chargers available.
Some that are wall pluggable, you just plug them in, you connect them and you leave them
alone and they charge on their own; they take a little bit longer.
And we're also going to have smart chargers.
Smart chargers will allow you to set the charging current, and that will actually be able to
charge the batteries at a much faster pace.
That's going to be a very good feature for those of you guys that are on the run and
you need these charged things up really soon, so that's what this will do.
Anyway, that being said, the next thing I wanted to show you guys is actually how they
work.
That's the whole point of having battery packs - just for them to work.
We're going to test the 10,000 milliamp model.
Like I said, they all output 5 Volts and they can actually take up to about 6 Amps of current.
We're also going to have accessories.
We're going to have Y's, such as this, and little pigtails, like this, for different
adaptations or adapters for different applications.
So in this case we're going to run our DMX LED Strip with an anyDMX Wireless DMX Antenna
here, okay?
This actually runs on 5 Volts, which makes it very convenient for a setup like this.
How we're going to do it is very simple.
We're going to get the Y, connect it to the output, then we get either one of these and
we connect one of the anyDMX power adapters on there.
The other end - this one - goes connected to the power input of the strip.
So then we're going to connect the power over here to the anyDMX - and that goes on.
Then we connect the signal over here, and there we have it guys.
Simple as that.
Like I said, this works, either of these packs over here will perform the same.
They all output the same voltage, it's just how much capacity, how much current they have
in them.
Like I said, this is wireless DMX.
You can run any kind of signal, you can do anything you want to do and it's all wireless.
So you can set this up in less than 10, 15 minutes at a venue because you don't have
to run cables, you don't have to find a power source, nothing like that.
You just put them where you want them, you connect everything like this, and there you
have it.
So if you guys have any questions, concerns, comments, anything like that in regard to
any of these products, please drop us a comment there in the YouTube comment box.
