INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on the purchase of the Outdoorbox ThrustMe: the lightweight, robust, water-
proof (IP67) power source specially designed as external battery pack for the ThrustMe Kicker
and Cruiser trolling engines.
The Outdoorbox ThrustMe (hereafter ODB) comes with an integrated li-ion battery-pack (673Wh
/18.5V36.4Ah) with battery management system (BMS), silicone wiring, green ANEN connector
and Rebelcell BT app to monitor power consumption, battery capacity and battery health for a
worry-free day on the water. Also included: Quick Connect ODB ThrustMe cable (hereafter QC
cable) to easily connect the Outdoorbox to your ThrustMe engine.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND WARNINGS
Your ODB has been engineered with a safe and long user life in mind. It is important to tho-
roughly review this instruction and follow the safety precautions. Not doing so may invalidate
the warranty and result in the malfunctioning of your ODB and further damage.
• Your ODB has been designed as power source for ThrustMe Kicker and Cruiser trolling
engines onlly. It is NOT suitable for other trolling engines or as starter battery for internal
combustion engines (like in cars and outboards).
• Only use the QC cable (included) to connect your ThrustMe engine to the ODB.
• The ODB is waterproof according to the IP67 standard and is thus suitable for use in rainy
conditions.
• When used outside the permitted standards (e.g. high load) your ODB will automatically turn
 o.NopowerwillbeavailableuntiltheODBcanoperatewithinstandards.
• Avoid damaging the ODB by dropping it. In case of external damage do not use your ODB but
have Rebelcell check for proper and safe operation.
• Place the ODB in the coolest environment possible. Do not expose the ODB to sources of
 directheatsuchas(open)re,heatingorexposuretodirectsunlightforextendedperiodsof
 time.Long-termuseinhightemperatures(>40°C)hasanegativeinuenceonservicelife.
At a temperature of 55° C the ODB will shut down until a normal operating temperature is
reached.
• TheODBisclassiedasdangerousgoodsfortransportationpurposes(ADRClass9).Review
the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) on our website for more information.
• The battery-pack is situated below the coverplate in the ODB. Never remove the coverplate!
This can be dangerous and will automatically void the warranty.
INSTALLATION AND GUIDELINES FOR USE
The ODB is charged around 30-40% in accordance with storage and transport regulations and is
in standby mode. Please follow the following instructions to prepare your ODB for use:
1. Charge the ODB by connecting the green connectors of the 21V10A fast charger and the
ODB. Charging will activate the BMS in the ODB and ensure it is visible in the Rebelcell
BT app.
2. Install the Rebelcell BT app on your smartphone and connect the ODB to the App
(see section on the Rebelcell BT app for instructions)

3. Connect the ODB to the ThrustMe engine with the QC cable (SD20 connector to ThrustMe
and green ANEN to the ODB). c the ODB.
The ODB should be visible in the BT app and the display on the ThrustMe engine should
indicate an external battery is connected.
Charging
We recommend using the 21V10A fast charger with green ANEN connector to charge your ODB.
Ifyouuseadierentchargerthewarrantywillbevoidedifanydamageoccurs.Youcantop-up
orpartlychargetheODBwheneveryousodesire,thereisnoso-called‘memoryeect’.The
ODB cannot be charged at temperatures of 0 °C or lower.
Standby function
IftheODBisnotusedfor7daystheBMSwillputitin‘sleepermode’.Thispreventsaccidental
dischargebytheBTfunctionoftheBMSintheODB.WhentheODBisin‘sleepermode’itisnot
visible in the app nor can it provide power to your ThrustMe engine. You can activate the ODB
by connecting your charger.
Storage
When the ODB is not in use for extended periods of time charge it to 50% and disconnect all
cables from equipment and store it in a dry location (above 0 °C). Due to low self-discharge
(~ 3% per month) voltage may drop below critical levels and damage the battery
irreversibly. Check charge status at least 1x per 3 months and charge when needed.
BMS and safety
The BMS protects your ODB and contributes to a long service life. Functions of the BMS are
protection against deep discharge, overcharge, high temperature, short circuit, high currents,
bluetooth, sleep function and cell balancing. When certain safety thresholds are exceeded, the
battery will shut down as a precaution and turn itself back on when the battery operates within
specication.Ifthisdoesnothappenautomaticallyyouneedtodisconnectyourequipment
(and in some cases connect to your charger) to reset the battery. After a few minutes you can
reconnect your equipment. The activation of the BMS may seem like a failure, but it is not. If
it occurs repeatedly this can indicate a malfunction of a component in your electrical system
or overheating of the battery. If this happens contact your electrician to check your electrical
system.
Warranty
Your ODB has a standard 2 year warranty from date of purchase. Refer to our general terms
and conditions for detailed warranty conditions. Please retain and store your purchase receipt,
as it is required for warranty claims.

TROUBLESHOOTING FOR REBELCELL APP
• My battery is not visible in the app and when I connect it to my
engine it does now provide any power?
If the ODB is not used for 7 days the BMS will put it in ‘sleeper
 mode’.Itwillnotbevisibleintheappnorcanitprovidepowerto
your engine. You can activate the ODB by connecting the
charger. The charge current will wake up the BMS and it will then
be visible in the app and provide power.
• When I use my device no batteries appear in the app?
When installing the App on your device you may be asked to
grant permission for location access. You must allow this feature
or the App will not function properly. Also location (GPS) must be
turned on.
• My battery is visible on the app but I cannot connect to my
ODB / battery?
Close the Rebelcell App completely and restart it. You can do this
as follows:

Apple: Double-click the home button or (from iPhone 11 and up) swipe up slowly from the
bottom of the screen and stop halfway down the screen. Then swipe the preview of the
Rebelcell App up to close it completely.
Android: Click the Overview button so all active Apps are visible and swipe the Rebelcell App
 upothescreen.
• What to do if the connection to the battery is lost?
This can occur when you have not opened the App. To save energy, the App disconnects from
the battery after some time. Also, if you are out of range of the battery, it will disconnect.
Often the App will reconnect when you reopen the App. You can also reconnect to the battery
using the Bluetooth icon in the top right of the screen.
• I am trying to connect to another device but this is not working?
The app can only be connected to 1 device simultaneously. First close the connection and/or
 ‘kill’theappbeforeyouconnecttoanotherdevice.

When installing the App on your device you may be asked to grant permission for
location access. You must allow this featur or the App will not function properly.
