12V Mini UPS Function
One of the most useful features
of the iP150-12V is its ability
to function as a
12V DC mini UPS.
The battery can receive power
from its AC charger while
simultaneously supplying power
to a connected device.
When the AC charger is connected,
the power supplied to the connected
device may come from the charger,
the battery cells, or a combination
of both.
The actual power flow depends
on the battery's state of charge,
the available charger power,
and the connected device's
power consumption.
How the Mini UPS Works
When AC power is available:
The charger supplies power to the
battery system. If sufficient power
is available, the charger can support
the connected device and recharge
the battery at the same time.
When AC power is interrupted:
The battery supplies stored energy
to the connected device, helping
maintain operation without manually
switching power sources.
When device power consumption
exceeds available charging power:
The battery cells can provide
additional power. Under these
conditions, the battery may
gradually discharge even while
the AC charger remains connected.
Important:
The iP150 can provide continuous
DC power as a mini UPS, but it
cannot maintain its charge
indefinitely if the connected
device consumes more power
than the charger can supply.
Battery Charging and Power Output
Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries
can often deliver relatively high
output power, while accepting
a more limited charging current.
The iP150-12V can supply up to
60W DC output power,
but its maximum charging input
current is limited to
4A.
During charging, the battery
voltage changes from approximately
9V to 12.6V.
As a result, charging power varies
throughout the charging process.
During higher-current charging
stages, the charging power is
typically around
35W to 45W,
depending on battery voltage
and charging conditions.
Charging current is generally
lower near the beginning and
end of the charging process.
Therefore, charging power
does not remain constant
throughout the charging cycle.

High-Capacity 151.2Wh Battery
The iP150 rechargeable battery
stores approximately
151.2 watt-hours (Wh)
of energy.
This corresponds to the
manufacturer-listed capacity
of 42,000mAh
using a nominal cell-voltage
basis of 3.6V.
For comparing batteries and
estimating runtime, watt-hours
provide a more meaningful
measurement than milliamp-hours
alone.
Estimated Battery Runtime
Actual runtime depends on
the connected device's power
consumption, battery condition,
temperature, and electrical losses.
| Device Power Consumption |
Estimated Runtime* |
| 10W | 12.1 hours |
| 15W | 8.1 hours |
| 20W | 6.0 hours |
| 30W | 4.0 hours |
| 40W | 3.0 hours |
| 50W | 2.4 hours |
| 60W | 2.0 hours |
*Runtime estimates assume approximately
80% usable battery energy and operation
without external charging power.
Actual results may vary.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use the battery while charging it?
Yes. The iP150 supports simultaneous
charging and power delivery through
its mini UPS function.
Can the iP150 function as a 12V UPS?
Yes. The battery can supply
power to compatible 12V devices
when external charging power
is interrupted.
Why is the maximum charging current only 4A?
Lithium-ion batteries can often
deliver higher discharge currents
than the charging currents they
are designed to accept.
The iP150 limits its charging
input current to a maximum
of 4A.
Does the battery always charge at 4A?
No. Charging current varies
throughout the charging cycle.
It is generally lower near
the beginning and end of charging.
Can the battery supply 60W while charging?
The battery can supply up to
60W DC output, subject to
operating conditions.
However, if the connected
device consumes more power
than the charger can provide,
the battery may gradually
discharge even while the
charger is connected.
Does the battery include a USB port?
Yes. The built-in USB output
provides 5V power at up to 2.1A
for compatible USB devices.
Can I use this battery with my 12V router?
Potentially, if the router's
voltage, current, connector,
and polarity requirements
are compatible with the battery.
How long will the battery power my device?
Runtime depends on the device's
power consumption and actual
usable battery energy.
For example, a 20W device
may operate for approximately
6 hours under an illustrative
80% usable-energy assumption.
