Additionally, MVQUICK provides an alternative power source of about 21Wh to be used as UPS in case of a sudden power failure or extended power requirements. MVQUICK graphic description 1 2 3 5 4 2 1.
Principle of operation MVQUICK features an internal battery system of about 21Wh. This power source is automatically connected to the output terminals (becoming the only power source) whenever the main V-Lock battery is not installed, removed or empty (voltage below 12V). Alternatively, when a V-Lock battery with a voltage greater than 12V is installed, it becomes the main power source connected to the output connector.

To verify the state of charge: When the external battery is installed: Press the “Check” button to verify the state. The LED will stay on for about 3 sec showing the state (see table above). The LEDs will flash when the internal battery is being charged. - When the external battery is not installed: The LEDs are automatically alighted continuously displaying the state of charge.
This automatic partial charging is an efficient way to keep MVQUICK fully charged even after several swaps. It is however recommendable to fully charge MVQUICK on a charger for the first time, or prior to an extensive working session. How to switch off / switch on MVQUICK is supplied switched off to save internal power and automatically enters in low power mode when not in use. - How to switch it on: a) MVQUICK automatically switches on upon installation of an external battery with a voltage > 12V.
