Product Description

JP630 - Car Audio Supercapacitor (Ultracapacitor) bank

The Down4sound JP630 ultracapacitor bank is an energy storage system that uses ultracapacitors (also known as supercapacitors) to store electrical energy. These devices have a higher energy density than traditional capacitors, but are still less dense than batteries.

The DOWN4SOUND JP63 is a specific model of ultracapacitor bank that is designed for use in car audio systems that looks like the Down4sound JP40 car audio lithium battery which resembles the Infamous down4sound amplifiers . It is intended to provide a quick burst of power to the car's amplifier, which can help to improve the overall sound quality of the system.

Benefits of the JP630 Car Audio Ultra Capacitor bank

JP 630 Ultracapacitors can be great for car audio electrical systems for a few reasons.

Firstly, The JP630 can provide a quick burst of power that can help to improve the overall sound quality of the system. When a car audio system requires a sudden surge of power (for example, when the bass hits in a song), an ultracapacitor bank can provide that power more quickly and effectively than a traditional battery. This can help to reduce distortion and improve the clarity of the sound.

Additionally, our car audio specific supercapacitor have a longer lifespan than traditional lead-acid batteries and agm batteries, which are commonly used in car audio systems. They can also be charged and discharged more quickly than batteries, which can be useful in high-performance audio systems where power demands can fluctuate rapidly.

Finally, the compact in style, which can be an advantage in a car where space is at a premium. This is the perfect solution car audio supercapacitor needs in electrical and is a good option for car audio enthusiasts who want to maximize their power output without adding extra weight to their vehicle. 

JP60 SAFETY AND INSTRUCTIONS:

PROPER CHARGING IS CRUCIAL! 14.8V MAX

Charge before initial use. Be sure to read the instruction sheet for full instructions. Proper charging is crucial to the life of your Down4Sound battery. It is very important that the temperature of the capacitor remains cool with respect to the charge voltage. DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN ULTRACAPACITOR BANK TERMINALS! Whether using the automotive post adaptors, bolts or screws, the tightening torque should never exceed 6 ft-lbs max on any Down4Sound ultracapacitor bank!

SAFETY :

Never touch the power terminals as any residual voltage can cause fatal electrical shocks. Always check with a calibrated meter that the ultracapcitor bank is discharged prior to handling the ultracapcitor bank, please see the step by step instructions in this manual for the discharge procedure.

1 - Carefully observe the polarity each time you connect to it,DO NOT REVERSE POLARITY.

2 - Prior to installation or removal, the ultracapcitor bank must be properly discharged.

3 - Provide sufficient electrical isolation for operation above 50VDC (relative to ground).

4 - Protect surrounding electrical and conductive components from incidental contact.

5 - Do not operate above specified voltage or temperature range.

6 - Do not touch terminals while charged, serious burns, shock or material fusing may occur.

 

UNPACKING
Please inspect the shipping carton for signs of damage prior to unpacking the carton. Report any damage to the carton, or the contents, to the carrier immediately. Retain all shipping materials until the ultracapcitor bank is fully inspected and determined to be operational. Do not use the terminals to lift the ultracapcitor bank out of the package. If any parts are determined to be missing or defective, an RGA number must be issued prior to returning the unit for repair or replacement. Please contact Down4Sound to request an RGA number.

HANDLING
Ultracapacitor banks are designed for years of maintenance free operation if handled, installed and used properly. These handling precautions should be observed.

1 - The only tools to be used on the ultracapcitor bank should be properly sized wrenches for the terminal and mounting bolts (hammers, chisels, files or power tools in general should not be used).

2 - Do not drop ultracapcitor bank invisible internal damage may occur. Use protective terminal caps while transporting the ultracapcitor bank or ensure that the ultracapcitor bank has been properly discharged before transporting.

INSTALLATION
Ultracapacitor bank can be mounted in any orientation and are qualified for shock and vibration. In addition, it is best to avoid mounting on or near significant heat sources such as engine exhausts or solar heated panels.

STORAGE
The ultracapacitor bank can be stored in the original package discharged in a dry place. Observe the maximum storage temperature as stated in the specifications. Discharge used ultracapacitor bank prior to stock or shipment. TEMPERATURE RANGE
Range, Operating Temperature: -40F / 149F (-40oC / 65C))
Range, Storage Temperature: -40F / 158oF (-40C / 70C) DISPOSAL


Always recycle according to local codes and regulations for flammable materials.

ENVIRONMENTAL
For best results ultracapacitor bank should not be exposed directly to the environment, particularly the avoidance of direct splashes should be considered. In systems with voltages greater than 60V it is highly recommended to use protective terminal caps. Ultracapacitor banks that are expected to see significant cycling should be mounted in free air or in a forced ventilation housing. Care should be taken to protect ultracapacitor banks in potentially corrosive environments and direct water splash or spray should be avoided. In all environments, the best possible performance is aided by using an anti-oxidation agent for all terminal connections. Careful design consideration should be given to the application to prevent the overheating of the ultracapacitor bank. Please refer to the operational temperature range on the data sheet and be sure to allow for internal heating of the ultracapacitor bank. If you require help with the design considerations and sizing please contact Down4Sound for assistance.

ELECTRICAL
Ultracapacitor bank can be mounted in series and/or parallel with each other. Care should be taken to insure that similar capacitance is used for series chains and that if different type or age ultracapacitor bank are used in parallel configurations the differences in ESR are accounted for in your design. Appropriate size bus bars or cables and terminals should be used for the application. Please note, that to minimize system loses, the capacitors do not have fusing or internal circuit breakers, careful consideration in the system design should be taken to prevent over current. With the low ESR of the capacitors they can deliver very large amounts of current. The worst-case fault current should be considered when sizing the wire for this application. Thread locking should be done with star washers or an appropriate chemical thread locker applied to the threaded portions only. Care should be taken in cable routing to not impose undue forces(torques or tensions) on the ultracapacitor bank terminals. Only appropriately sized ring terminals or bus bars for the expected currents should be used.

OPERATION
All Supercapacitor / rultracapacitor banks should only be operated within their prescribed voltage, constant current and temperature, operating window. NOTE: Operation of  above 149F/65C will void the warranty.

MAINTENANCE
The car Audio supercapacitor /ultracapacitor bank should be kept free of dust and debris and cleaned at a regular interval. In inside locations, that should be no more than annually however this may vary with your particular circumstances. Outside location will be as needed. Once the ultracapacitor bank is discharged, proceed with cleaning with a cloth and a simple water/soap solution. Avoid the use of hoses or pressurized sprays. Once the assembly is clean check for properly torqued fasteners and note any damage to any of the housings or signs of internal damage and replace as necessary. In high vibration applications, fasteners used for mounting as well as electrical connections should be checked for torque every 6 months. DISCHARGING
Before replacing or disconnecting an ultracapacitor bank or individual capacitors they should be properly discharged to limit the risk of dangerous electrical shocks and sparks. Even a properly discharged ultracapacitor bank can naturally rebound in certain conditions. The provided lamp can be used to safely discharge the ultracapacitor bank by connecting one lead to the positive side of the ultracapacitor bank and the other lead to the negative side. After the lamp has dimmed out and cooled then it is safe to disconnect and remove from the system. The lamp can be removed and a shorting wire can be connected between the terminals of the ultracapaci-tor bank to prevent it from building up a charge. This should especially be done if the ultracapacitor bank will be sitting unused for an extended period of time.
