1.3 Product Properties

Bluetooth is built in, so the user can check the battery status in real time, including the time available and estimated charging time through the smartphone APP.
When the switch is set to ADJ, the smartphone APP allows the user to set the charging current of the product from minimum to maximum current.
CELLINK NEO8+ S offers the 2 types charging methods such as the vehicle’s cigar-lighter plug and fuse-box ACC power connection.
Charging starts as soon as the vehicle starts the engine, if the ADJ on the switch is selected, the users can change the charging current through the APP on the smartphone.
For better battery safety, a constant current with constant. voltage charging circuit and a secondary protection circuit is built-in.
A micro controller (MCU) is built in to control the current, voltage and voltage balance of the battery, and the battery protection circuit module is built-in for secondary protection to prevent the over-charge, over-discharge and over-current.
If you need more capacity, add the CELLINK NEO EXT battery to increase the capacity by connecting only the cables provided with the CELLINK NEO EXT.
The APP will put up a warning screen when the temperature inside the battery reaches the threshold of 80°C due to any abnormalities, the system will automatically stop to prevent overheating.
The battery will be automatically cut off the current when the reverse voltage input or external short-circuit of the product’s connectors occur.
The cycle life is improved more three times than the general Li-ion battery because of The lithium- phosphate iron (LiFePO4) battery is used, and we guarantee at least 1,500 cycles.
Compact design makes possible to install in confined spaces such as below the vehicle seat.

The fuse box location in the vehicle may vary depending on the manufacturer and model of your vehicle. For more information, refer to your vehicle’s manual.

Inside the fuse box, there's two types of power available, permanent power (BATT) and ACC contact. Since our Cellink battery is charged only when the ACC is on, you must connect only to ACC contact. If you connect to BATT contact with permanent power, the car battery will be drained or cause some error on the dashboard.

2.4 Fuse Connection

1) Insert the input cable into the sleeve at the end of the fuse holder cable, and then secure it by squeezing on the sleeve securely using appropriate tools, such as pliers.

2) Preferably, look for spare ACC contact fuse socket in the fuse box and insert the fuse tap with the included 20A fuse.

3) If you cannot find any spare ACC contact fuse socket, you can look for any existing fuse rated 10A or less with ACC contact. After removing the fuse from the socket, insert it to the fuse tap and plug the fuse tap cable back to the socket.

2.5 Fuse Tap

Caution

Insure that the fuse tap is plugged with the correct orientation with INPUT pin to the power source of the socket inside the fuse box.
