2 Product description
2.1 Overview
The REAC Power Pack RPP10 is a lead battery intended to be used as a power source.
The RPP10 is compatible with the REAC control boxes RCB11 and RCB12.
2.2 Connectors
Charger jack
The charger jack is used for connection of the battery charger.
VPI connector
The VPI connector is used for connection of the control box.
2.3 Battery disconnection function
To protect the battery from deep discharge and damaged battery cells, the control box (RCB11 or RCB12)
has a function that can disconnect the battery completely internally.
The battery is automatically disconnected when the battery level is critically low or after 18 days of
standby.

2.4 Safety functions
2.4.1 Battery ventilation
The RPP10 has ventilation channels (small square holes) at the back and front. The channels ensure
ventilation of the battery and also allow moisture to come out.
Do not block or cover the ventilation channels at any time.
2.4.2 Disabled motor activation while charging
If the battery charger is connected, the control box (RCB11 or RCB12) prevents any motor activation. The
reason is that the charger is not intended to run a motor and doing so might cause EMC disturbance from
the charger.

3 Operation
In the unlikely event of battery acid leakage and if you get it in your eyes or on your skin:
Rinse thoroughly with lots of water and contact your local healthcare for further consultation.
3.1 Before first use
Before using the RPP10 for the first time, you should charge the battery for 24 hours. This to ensure full
charge and to prolong the lifetime of the battery.
To charge the battery the first time, do the following:
1. Connect the RPP10 to a control box, see section 3.2.
2. Connect the battery charger to the RPP10 charger jack and to a wall socket.
3. Check that the LED on the charger is red, indicating charging.
4. Keep the charger connected for 24 hours.
3.2 Connecting the control box
You connect the control box to the VPI connector on the RPP10. For the RCB11, a VPI cable is needed.
The RCB12 control box has a fixed VPI cable
The VPI connector is keyed and must be inserted according to the image below. Make sure the part of the
connector that forms a straight line is facing the straight line on the RPP10 connector.
To connect the control box to the RPP10, do the following:
1. RCB11: Connect the VPI cable to the VPI connector on the control box.
2. Connect the VPI cable to the VPI connector on the RPP10.
Inserting the VPI connector the wrong way can cause damage the product.

3.3 Charging the battery
For an optimum lifetime, you should charge the battery as often as possible. If the battery is not charged
regularly, it will be damaged due to self-discharge. Frequent deep discharge reduces the battery life.
During charging, the RPP10 must be connected to a control box.
To charge the battery, do the following:
1. Connect the RPP10 to a control box, see section 3.2.
2. Connect the battery charger to the RPP10 charger jack and to a wall socket.
3. Check that the LED on the charger is red, indicating charging.
4. The charging time is approximately 9 hours.
When the charging is completed, the LED on the charger is green.
Only use the battery charger delivered together with the RPP10.
Charging must take place in a room with good air ventilation.
The ambient temperature must not be below 0°C or above 40°C.
If the RPP10 has not been used for a long time, it is recommended to charge the
battery for 24 hours.
3.4 Checking battery level
To check the battery charge level, you must connect the RPP10 to a RCB11 or RCB12 control box. For
more information, refer to the user manual for the control box.
