INTRODUCTION

Vesta Designed for collaboration and convenience, our Vesta Battery can take a space from fixed to flexible faster than you can say portable power. With more than enough power to charge laptops, tablets, and phones – all at the same time – this one-of-a-kind charging hub lets you set up shop wherever you want. Just think, now that you’re no longer tied to electrical outlets, working anywhere with anyone is all-of-a sudden – entirely possible. Along with making it four times more powerful than our original Vesta, we also made it far more functional by adding two 60-watt USB-C ports, one 20-watt USB-C port, and one 10-watt USB-A port. And then, even after all those upgrades, we went one step further and made it available in a number of new colors. So now, while you’re upgrading your workspaces to make them more flexible and more functional, you can make them more beautiful, too.

BATTERY SPECS

18 AMP HOURS 24 VOLTS 432 WATT HOURS

Electricity, at its core, is made up of two (2) components – Voltage, measured in Volts (V), and Current, measured in Amperes (A). Amperes, or Amps, are commonly referred to on a time basis in Amp-Hours (Ah). For example, a battery with a 1Ah capacity should be able to continuously deliver 1A of current to a device for one full hour. This same battery could also deliver 2A of current for 1/2hr (30m), or 1/3A for 3hrs, etc. When you multiple those values together, V x A, you get Power, measured in Watts (W). Similarly, when you multiple V x Ah, you get Power in a time-basis, measured in Watt-hours (Wh). This is the primary unit of measure that we use when discussing battery systems—taking into consideration different battery chemistries and level-sets— in order to have a singular comparison measurement.

BATTERY CHARGING CAPABILITIES

From a fully depleted/dead state, you can expect a Vesta Battery to take approximately 5-6 hours to fully recharge with the included wall charger. The systems are designed to have minimal draw on the battery when not in use, meaning that the shelf-life of the charge is very good—and will last weeks to months, not hours or days. There is a small draw on the system to keep the battery charge status active, which will drain the system slowly. So, if a product is stored for extended periods of time, the system should be fully recharged before being deployed for use. A fully charged 432Wh battery is capable of charging 7-8 laptops from 20% to 80%. The time to charge a typical office laptop (60W) is about 1-2 hours. Vesta can charge (from 0-100%) about 36-42 average sized smart phones, 24-30 larger smart phones/small tablets, or about 12 larger tablets. The time to charge a typical smartphone (20W) is about 1-2 hours. About our Lithium-ion batteries The Li-ion battery was chosen not only for it’s large capacity and compact size, but also for the convenience of charging speeds. The battery technology excels at fast charging, and also maintains integrity over many usage cycles.

END OF LIFE

Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries should be recycled since they are made with “critical resources”, meaning that they contain resources that are depletable and non-replaceable. By not recycling these batteries, these resources are lost. On top of this, the EPA heavily recommends that these batteries are not put in the trash or in municipal (plastic, cardboard) recycling bins due to safety and environmental concerns. The EPA offers sources to locate or determine all Li-ion battery recycling options on their website.

BATTERY SHIPPING REQUIREMENTS

Vesta battery boasts a whopping 432-watt hour lithium ion battery – which is great for charging – but also means the shipping requirements may have changed from your previous process. The new battery is classified as UN 3480 Lithium ion battery – Class 9. Per the U.S. Department of Transportation and International Air Transportation Authority, if you plan to re-ship your battery unit you will need appropriate 49 CFR 172.704 training and paperwork for a Class 9 Fully Regulated shipment. To help you get through this process as smoothly and quickly as possible this link will provide you with the proper training on labeling requirements and how to safely ship a lithium ion battery. We’ve also partnered with Eduwhere to offer a discounted rate on the required training class that we can share with you - https://www.eduwhere.com/portal/index.php?gc=byrne Once your training is complete, your desired shipping carrier will provide additional guidance and paperwork that needs to go along with the shipment. Please note, the package from Byrne will arrive with the proper Class 9 label on the box for ground transportation, you will need new paperwork for re-shipment.
