The AUDIOROOT ABE is a compact smart battery eliminator designed to power devices that normally operate with smart batteries, using an alternative DC power source such as an AC/DC power supply, wall adapter, or even another external battery. In addition to functioning as a power bridge, the ABE can also host a smart battery via its TA4M input connector, allowing you to use larger-capacity smart batteries to power equipment that typically accepts only small-format models like the Li-48neo or Li-49Wh. TA4M INPUT CONNECTOR PINOUT: Pin 1: (–) Pin 2: SMBus Data* Pin 3: SMBus Clock* Pin 4: ( ) *Wiring of pins 2 and 3 is optional and only needed when using a smart battery. SMART BATTERY EMULATOR FUNCTION The ABE features an integrated smart battery emulation circuit that allows basic battery information to be displayed on compatible eSMART current distributors, even when only a basic DC power supply is connected (i.e., without SMBus signals on pins 2 and 3). COMPATIBLE DEVICES FOR EMULATION: eSMART BG-DH MKII eSMART BG-DU eSMART BG-DU-REG eSMART K-ART When used in emulation mode, the following parameters are displayed: Voltage Current Power Temperature ⚠️ Please note: Cycle count, capacity, and runtime values are generated arbitrarily in emulation mode. KEY FEATURES: Compact design identical in size to Li-48neo / Li-49Wh batteries 5-pin standard smart battery output connector (DC SMBus clock/data) TA4M input connector for external DC source or smart battery Maximum recommended current: 5A Recommended input voltage: 15V Maximum input voltage: 18V Integrated smart battery emulator for use with eSMART BG-DH MKII, BG-DU, BG-DU-REG, and K-ART Dimensions: 88.0 x 78.0 x 22.7 mm Weight: 67 g WHEN TO ENABLE THE SMART BATTERY EMULATOR Set the internal emulator switch to ON when using the ABE with an external DC source to power one of the compatible eSMART current distributors (BG-DH MKII, BG-DU, BG-DU-REG, or K-ART).Set the switch to OFF when connecting a real SMBus-compatible battery via a 4-wire cable (power clock/data).
