Optional External
Battery Packs
Connecting the
Standard External
Battery Pack (S-
EBP)
The external batteries are not installed inside the Modem. Instead
they are connected to the Modem. Before we discuss how to
connect and charge the external battery packs, let’s discuss the
differences between the Standard External Battery Pack (S-EBP)
and the Heavy Duty External Battery Pack (HD-EBP).
 The S-EBP can be used with any of the LED or LCD Modems.
The HD-EBP can be used with all LED and LCD Modems
except for the 2.4 GHz LED Modem. The 2.4 GHz Modem can
use only the S-EBP.
 The HD-EBP provides 44 Watt-Hours of power while the S-
EBP provides 16 Watt-Hours of power.
 The amount of time the S-EBP and HD-EBP can operate before
recharging varies. This time is dependent of the usage run on
the Ripwave Modem. The following table shows example
approximations for how long the batteries can run before a
recharge is required.

Moderate 1.5 4.0
Heavy 1.2 3.4
To connect the S-EBP to any of the LED or LCD Modems, plug
the battery’s pig-tail cord into the input socket located on the back
of the Modem.
